Pic related is Ted K.'s entire argument. This is his premise on "surrogate activities". If that falls, most of his overall argument does too.

I like surrogate activities. I like reading literature, poetry, and playing the cello. I like it much more than I would like to hunt for deer 24/7 and die from pneumonia in the winter.
And with that, Ted K. can fuck off.

I quite like playing the cello and reading poetry Ted, you giant fucking faggot, but nice going trying to counteract the all-pervasiveness of technological means-end rationality by denigrating all ends-in-themselves and insisting that we should keep doing only means-end rationality but restricted to the domain of primitive survival.

Absolute midwit retard. Ted is an absolute fucking midwit retard, and that is why he does not elaborate on any of his claims. He has found a readership who loves him for picking the low-hanging fruit of dunking on pearl-clutching libs, but as enjoyable as that may be to read, it is not particularly groundbreaking, and the rest of his points are just absolute dogshit that completely fall apart by the simple fact that I like surrogate activities, and would like most of all for this sperglord to fuck off.

Pic related is the most concise summary of the premise of his entire anthropology, psychology and argument, and once rejected, rightfully, the entire thing falls apart.

Not that guy, but if anti-authoritarianism is for teenagers, authoritarianism is for children.

pic related is an almost perfect summation of authoritarianism. If only the kid looked a bit more like a huge faggot, it would encapsulate the ideology perfectly.
