Are there any good anti-tech/anti-internet books? I've read a good chunk of the blindpill books and they're all terrible. It's either Barnes and Noble NYTimes type boomer books or extremist schizo unreadable books. Is there any inbetween?

there's not if you want a balanced take. there is either mild tech shilling or fashy/anarchy stuff. no matter where you go, you get indoctrinated into anti tech instead of forming a reasonable opinion.

also, people posting charts haven't read any of them.

It's easy to claim the internet is awful when you're already famous and have 2 million followers on twitter.

Anyone who wants to have a job as a comedian or a singer songwriter like Bo has to use the internet. There's no choice involved. Producers and publishers will see you don't have a twitter and instantly reject you. If you're not in the internet you don't exist in real life. Sorry, Anon, you were funny, but we need someone who actively engages with their brand.

Bo's a fucking hypocrite. And he's the worst kind of hypocrite. He's worried he'll get canceled because he said nigger in a song when he was in his 20s. So he cowers and preemptively apologizes with all this woke bullshit to befriend the people he should be fighting against, the woke enemies of comedy. Haha, isn't the internet terrible? We should keep it away from our kids, haha. It's unhealthy, haha. Don't forget to stream my new special off Netflix, haha. Without the internet I have no audience, haha.
