Hi. I enjoyed the reading of the TOTW and, to offer up my (personal) answer to the question of “what is the difference between a tool and a technology” - I feel that the difference is quantitative intensity resulting in qualitative differences (like the differing quantities of heat in water resulting in differences in being ice, liquid, steam). This I feel is experientially and instinctually obvious, but apologies for leaving it out of the already long and wordy TOTW post, which was written not as an analysis or argument, but to invite a conversation.

JZ is laughing at your tool vs technology explanation. Do read up.

I didn't give an explanation, but a personal perspective, which was stated as such. Also, while I appreciate Zerzan's thought, I don't take him as gospel truth.

Huh. If you are going to have a critique of technology you should probably learn what technology is and how to articulately express what it is.

Now go chop some wood.

never mind the haters, i for one liked your topic, i agree that it's a topic that has been neglected from that point of view as you describe and i'd be interested to see more anti-civ anarchist engagement with it

I want to publicly apologize for making up lengthy lies on Reddit and badjacketing everybody based on these lies with zero evidence like COINTELPRO did for decades. I am just really lonely and have reached a point in my life where I look back over it and get really defeated by how useless it's been. Also sometimes my penis doesn't work so good and it makes me VERY angry and I lash out at others that may have been less than cordial to me in the past like A! and IGD D___, whom I just doxxed. I think that with focused meditation in my dojo I will be able to correct this cop-like behavior. I only ask for your patience. Everybody knows this.
Sincerely,
William Gillis

I've heard direct accounts from several people that William Gillis downloads massive amounts of child pornography for "analysis" but I'm not going to link to where I read this because it made an allegation regarding some legal names. It is likely he is trying to create a deflection to take the heat off.

I think William Gillis should be banished from anarchism for this unless he can prove he has not done this.
