Antimodernity

The computer was not an invention of modernity but rather an evolution of the technics of computation which reach back to the abacus.
The Internet was devised by the Military to protect lines of communication in a possible devastating attack.
Using the 'net in the way we are doing is actually a subversion of its intended function. As I have pointed out - modernity seeks to CONTROL the 'net - we Free Spirits seek the opposite.
We are all living in the Modern age by dint of being alive - that is an obvious truism.
However, this philosophy is properly anti-modern [see Nietzsche's works passim for references to anti-modernism], that cannot be gainsaid.
Effusion;
'The masses can do nothing but resent the higher man - so be it!
They are not We - We are not They!
Let the Hate fall down like rain! Passionate Distance!'
