Techno-Amish Principles &Ways of Living, An Introduction.

Be Masters of Technology, not Enslaved by it.

Digital technologies controlled and understood by only a few human are being used to build a type of prison for all humans. Combined with the inevitable economic and demographic collapse, Americans and indeed most of the world will be ensnared in a prison with walls made of electrons.

Self-Education is your birth right and your responsibility.

Humans have struggled for thousands of years to accumulate knowledge, wisdom, and skills. We are willingly throwing away a thousand of generations of hard work, toil, and suffering by OUR common human ancestors; why, because we specialized and want our "nut" as the young kids say.

"Specialization is for insects, not the human mind," as I once heard and I hold true (with exceptions).

Real knowledge is still kept in books and in your mind, advancement of our species requires interpersonal communication and collaboration, not endless email, webpages, and training videos, and AI agents telling the masses what to think and how to live.

Minimize or eliminate exposer to the false digital reality.

This digital world is destroying our species, it is not the way for us at this time; it only serves those that wish to control us. The number of zombies walking around with face planted into phones or constantly having to listen to something is scary. Your mind needs time to just think, to wander, ponder, and plan. You are limiting your mental potential by constantly having auditory and visual stimulation. It makes you less human.

Displace and remove technology oligarchs from our lives - STOP FEEDING the BEASTS

These tragic souls simply seek power and control over our daily lives. It is ape like behavior, absolutely unevolved; higher intelligence does not equal higher morality. The sad truth is that most Americans willingly feed the Beast and promote their own indentured servitude to a small class of people that have long ago forgotten what it is to be human, to be alive.

Fight to end the none stop tracking and data accumulation of everyday citizens.

It is dystopian and authoritarian, and treats all citizens like criminals. People in government and law enforcement are just as susceptible to bad decision making as you are, do not give them too much power over you; they will abuse it.

The re-establishment and development of home manufacturing and food engineering practices of our ancestors, and improve on them.

Why? To minimize reliance on global corporate structures which are dehumanizing and ecologically destructive; in addition to being unnecessary for a country of this size and natural wealth. Take pride in building something with your own body, mind, and spirit. Humans are creatives, builders, and tool makers and we have forgotten that about ourselves.

Fight for the right to repair our machines, electronics, and appliances.

The right to grow our own food and medicine. The right to hunt, fish, and farm without onerous government oversight. How many Americans know the taste of fresh tomato sauce, real bread made fresh from wheat berries, or intense and utterly unique flavor of homemade paprika? I am tired of seeing my fellow citizen get his morning breakfast at a fucking gas station.

Every time something breaks we have to call another human being to fix it or just replace it, which makes us helpless and subservient to the corporate masters.

Find independence, in our daily lives, from multi-national corporations, private equity, and the corruption of C-suite.

Corporations and those that run them and those that educate them, have ruined both our capitalistic system, our socialist safety nets, and our education system. A functioning civilization obviously needs both robust private enterprise and a strong social safety net.

End this non-stop throw away economy.

Every time you throw away your trash, you are throwing away a small piece of your money, and hence your energy and time. Every piece of packaging you pay for it. Every mile shipped from China, you pay for it. There is no reason why nearly every thing we must buy to live has be encased in plastic and shipped thousands of mile, then thrown away in a landfill.

Do not worship the celebrity, influencer, or the athlete.

Americans spend a stupefying amount of time, energy, and money on watching other people they do not know, throw a ball into in net, pretend to be someone else, or tell them bullshit on social media. Sports, hollywood, the music industry, and the video game industry are all grand distractions the do not build a great society and are utterly unnecessary to human living. They have a place in leisure and relaxation, but in modern America, it is out of control.

Build new business structures and a strong internal economy based on local & regionally made products, manufacturing, and services.

If you can not make it yourself, then you should at least not have to resort to cheap foreign labor. We are all, ultimately, responsible for what we buy and how it is produced. Focusing solely on "cost" is foolish and harmful. It means we do not fully bear the costs of our purchases. A pair of polyester socks shipped from China costs more than the price you pay for at the store because the true cost has been ignored and subsidized.

We need a separation of business and state.
