Luddites believe that the
essence of humanity is slowly being lost because of
technology.
Mankind evolved for a different time- during most of
human evolution we were
hunter gatherers, and we grew to depend on that lifestyle for our
mental health. That lifestyle provides lots of socialization and lots of exercise. We adapted to living in nature.
We still have stress, but it's different.
We weren't made for what we are now.
The name of this belief name from
Nedd Ludd, who tried to start a
peasant revolt in
England in the
19th Century by burning down factories. He was eventually hanged.
