Luddites we are not

Technology is a tool, a very useful tool, but it can never be seen as an end unto itself. and often invoked from the root cause of political changes. Look at what we call reality and you will see where I'm coming from.  Social commentary this is not. Because so very many of our friends and family have been infected with the confusion, your own stand against "Technology as a God," is demanded in this social revolution. The scale of the destruction is unparalleled because the voyeurs have been inducted at an expanding rate, mimicking computer or biological viruses.  From this, let us label the voyeurs themselves as having "gone viral". We insist that you pause and contemplate exactly what we are saying.  It is crucial that this message is not misread. It is essentially pointless, wasteful, and dangerous to rail against technology per se for two simple reasons. 1. Technology has no counter. 2. Technology was created by and for the human race. We must hold ourselves back from tramping the defenseless, which would do a poor job of addressing the real concern.  Instead, we must focus on considering technology with a thoughtful eye. Made in the image of man, destroying technology is an attack upon ourselves.  We may be many things but we are not takers of cheap shots nor self-loathing.  We must make it clear now: there are no Luddites here.

Machines as Idols

The common thread between voyeurs is the wholeheartedness by which they merge with technology, seeing it not as a tool but as a purpose.  Once this mindset has been fully absorbed, the path to voyeur enlightenment is an INFORMATION NIRVANA. Giving oneself wholly to this mindset can be done in many ways, each as easy as the last. The Pontiffs who serve as mindless chaperones for the voyeurs.  They are indeed the deacons of political commentary. The Nihilists who loath themselves and other who choose to think independently. The Cynics who deride others who speak Truth and Knowledge. The Confused who are willfully lost in a sea of unthinking. The Total Voyeurs who have actually transcended the realm of man and become fused with machines, which are so closely tied to their day to day that they can be seen as one and the same. These sects are, of course, constructs which, when put into operation reveal that any given voyeur can be a bit of each to differing extents. Incapable or reluctant to direct their own thoughts, voyeurs lose what makes them individuals, which is the crucial existential problem with their movement. All voyeurs pay attention: if you want to relinquish control over your own thoughts, turn not to an information nirvana but mankind's culture and social systems. By releasing your sense of self, you feed the goals of those who want to create in society a pacified flock.

ReduxMatters Reason for Being

ReduxMatters was born out of an intention to reclaim the lost skill of original thought.  It embodies cultural revolution. There are multiple steps in this process if it is going to succeed: we must congregate with those who think independently, we must polish our methods of enlightenment, and we must seek out those who do not think for themselves. No violence.  Machines will not be set ablaze.  The battle is for the liberation of the voyeurs from their perverse Messiah's pleasure. We greet all who choose to unite with us.
