Why modern students are joining the ranks of the New Luddites
In short: From college campuses to philosophical treatises, a growing movement is questioning our technological trajectory. This video explores why we are beginning to revolt against the tools that define modern life.
The video contextualizes contemporary campus protests as part of a long history of technological critique. It traces these sentiments back to the original Luddites and examines philosophical warnings from Plato, who critiqued writing in 'Phaedrus', to Martin Heidegger’s 'The Question Concerning Technology'.
By analyzing works like Neil Postman's 'Technopoly' and Paul Kingsnorth's 'Against the Machine,' the discussion explores how technology captures value and metrics. It highlights a shift toward reclaiming human attention in an era of constant digital mediation.
