The true understanding of peasants you aren’t going to get from those modern windbags who extol their life or that of “noble savage”; but more likely to get from Chekhov’s story of that name. They are a wretched bunch, and locusts on the earth. You can get a good image of them also from Kurosawa movie like Seven Samurai. The peasant and serf, the default state of mankind has, like animal, his nose directed toward the earth and the ground, because it is there that the objects of interest are found, the needs of bare life. He is far from contemplation even of the stars, that Homer says gladden the heart of the shepherd alone on mountain. The dwellers of the valleys and tillers of the soil are the prototype for all the modern “bugmen,” don’t be fooled otherwise.
This is the “frame” or worldview that turns all matter and all things into mere utilities. It doesn’t need technology to do so, and never has. In primitive farming societies they will immediately execute any of the intelligent as a witch: this is still done in Africa and there is the famous Chinese saying about how the intelligent must be killed. This is always the case in much so-called “primitive” life, life under the thumb of the empowered old matriarchs and the conceptual dildoes they use to clobber the heads of young men.
What is worst about the modern world is the reimposition of this life, which is taking place for political and biological reasons. The problem of our time has never been with technology as such. There is no inner working of technology that inevitably leads to human subjection. The tendency exists merely because, by allowing an overwhelming increase in the numbers of the superfluous, it gives them and those who cater to them power when it is mixed with democracy.
The left environmentalist, among many others, is misguided because he wants more power given to such people. He attacks precisely those elements of the modern West, of modern technology, even of modern culture, that can mitigate somewhat the rule of the superfluous and their destruction of nature, including human nature. I can imagine few fates worse than if we decided to “live closer to our means,” to retrench and stop technological progress and innovation, to scale back to “small, integral communities,” to bring back “traditional forms” in our circumstance. I understand the desires of those on the right who long for the great parts of the past, but understand this: any such attempt in the modern world, I mean to promote the small village, the rustic life, the modest life, will lead not to the reestablishment of the glories of past ages, but to the freezing of modern corruption, to its stabilization and permanence. You will get small communities run by the gynocracy, to suppress true manhood and youth, but this time with the benefit of whatever modern technology is already around. They will do so in the name of “traditional virtue.” They will be Christian, maybe, but their Christianity will be a cover for Marxism in one way or another. It doesn’t matter what ideology or religion or “ideals” you give them, they will still behave the way they’re born to.
The problem of the modern world, as also of the degradation of the environment, isn’t technology or a way of life or an ideology, but the ubiquity and rule of a certain kind of human.... and until this problem is solved.........
Para entender que es verdaderamente un campesino, no hay que hacer caso de esos pesados que los ensalzan, o que los consideran equivocadamente como "nobles salvajes". No, es mejor leer a Chejov y su cuento "Los campesinos", o verlos en Los Siete Samurais de Kurosawa: el campesino y el siervo, los estados básicos de la humanidad, del mismo modo que los animales, tienen la nariz orientada hacia el suelo, porque ahí radican las cosas que les interesan, que son las necesidades de la vida sin más. Están muy lejos de contemplar las estrellas. Los habitantes de los valles y los agricultores son el prototipo de los modernos bugmen
Es una perspectiva que convierte toda materia y todas las cosas en meras utilidades. No necesita ser particularmente tecnológica para ello, y nunca lo ha sido
En las sociedades primitivas se ejecutaba a cualquier persona inteligente, considerándolo un brujo. Así era la vida primitiva, matriarcal, con consoladores conceptuales para golpear la cabeza de los jóvenes
Lo peor del mundo moderno es la reimposición de esa vida, por motivos políticos y biológicos. El problema de nuestro tiempo no es con la tecnología, y no hay ninguna tecnología que conduzca inevitablemente a la sujeción humana. Esta tendencia existe por la mezcla de la proliferación de los tipos inferiores con la democracia
Sería un error volver a comunidades pequeñas por motivos ecologistas: no llevaría al restablecimiento de glorias pasadas, sino a la congelación de la corrupción moderna, a su estabilización y permanencia. Serían pequeñas comunidades ginocráticas, supresoras de la verdadera hombría y de la juventud, pero esta vez con la ventaja de la tecnología moderna. Y lo harían en el nombre la "virtud tradicional". Podrían ser incluso cristianos, pero su cristianismo sería una versión del marxismo
Porque da igual qué ideología, religión o "ideales" le des: siempre se comportarán del modo en el que han nacido
El problema del mundo moderno, y también la causa de la degradación del medioambiente, no es la tecnología, o un estilo de vida, o una ideología, sino el dominio de un determinado tipo de humano, y hasta que ese problema se resuelva...
