Hellz yeah! Thoreau has been my hero as long as I can remember. He was writing about things like wealth inequality, media hypocrisy, and escaping the urban rat race in 1845! He is more relevant than ever in our current world.
I'm curious on your take. I am a post modernist and am not pissed off by this. Why do you think critical theorist and post modernist would be pissed off by this?
@@alantucker9544No ofc I'm just kidding I'm a postmodernist too,but like u now the stereotypes about critical theorist that they blame everything on ideology and capitalism,so like they will get pissed like when it work is necessary even with no reward,brief it's just a stereotype about their laziness
Digital minimalist Cal Newport used Thoreau's idea of "New Economics" to justify his aforementioned philosophy. Just as Thoreau found that we generally provide our rigorous labor at the expense of our precious time, just to engage in needless consumurism when we can actually work less hours while still having the bare essentials, so to did Newport find that the extensive usage and consumption of digital technologies eat away at our time and in many ways were not necessarily essentials to surviving. Newport isn't anti-technology, believing you can optimize such your benefit, but you get the idea
One your talking about Catholics not evangelicals and 2 just tell us about the anime man keep the politics out of it man trump was a real estate mogle with civil rights awards lol times change
Bro really turned Socrates 2quotes of "know thyself"and "the life that isn't examined isn't worth living"to an entire book💀

Funny that we usually think that new technology is supposed to free up our time more.
