Why Everything Online Feels So Manipulative | The Functional Melancholic
Psychology, sociology, and philosophy converge in this introspective cultural commentary about technology pessimism and the new Luddite movement.
Drawing on history, wisdom, and an honest look at the human condition, I’m exploring the neo-Luddites, and what surveillance capitalism is actually doing to daily life. I also examine why the rebellion happening right now is less about the phone in your hand and more about who decided what it’s actually for.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a reckoning.
