“Technology is far too important to be thought of as just a grab-bag of neat gadgets, and it’s far too powerful to be left in the hands of billionaire executives and venture capitalists,” [Jathan Sadowski] says. “Luddites want technology – the future – to work for all of us.”

“The historical luddites tried to make the system scream,” says Ongweso. “That catalysed later change. It’s part of the new luddite project to try to figure out how to do the same.”
ok so i want to start a neoluddite club at my uni but idk what the best name for it would be. like if i use words like neoluddite or anti-tech i think it could send the wrong messages since not everyone is aware of the term neoluddism but also it sends somewhat of an extreme message which does align with my beliefs but.i can’t go full kaczynski on campus. tech skeptics? i think the easiest thing for clubs main focus to be would be on like, gathering people who are interested in or practice like digital minimalism, nosurf kind of things. since that’s fairly neutral and nonpolitical. so a name relating to that would be fitting
Quote from "Cyberspace and the Lonely Crowd" by Greg Van Alstyne.
"Man shouldn't be able to see his own reflection - there's nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to stare into his own eyes. Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart."
