Can't Wait To Find My Place In The Balance - Tumblr Posts

There's a point where 'modernity has benefits but it means a lot of us have never seen a seed grow into a tree and we're missing out on a lot of beauty because of it' (a true, be it somewhat simplistic statement).

warps into 'modernity has made us spoiled and weak and our lives would be more meaningful if we needed to do rough work with our hands to survive' (bullshit and a building block of fascism)

and left wing post-apocalyptic thought has a tendency to go back and forth between the two without really noticing where they're at.

Comfort and stable access to food are good actually. We may lose these things in the future (and some have never had them) and it is good to prepare for the future, but let's be clear that losing this stable basis of survival would be a tragedy and would not make us happier or more virtuous.
