Society would not even exist and people would eventually organize and form groups to terrorize individuals like him, how can you shit on a society that allows you to simply reject it with no consequence? If everyone lived like that we wouldn't even be a species, we'd get picked off by animals
I think you only read "growths of society" and left out the key word "artificial"
you wouldn't be here to type this on a screen
Yes, we have this magic black screen today, but he isn't saying the artificial things society creates can't do amazing things, he is saying it is incompatible with happiness and morality. This blackbox delivers 24/7 emotional manipulation through news agencies, degeneracy through movies and pornography, broadCASTING spells (moonlanding etc.) the scale of which could never be achieved prior, social media that actually makes you more lonely and depressed.... the list goes on and on. I know it is not all bad and much good has come too, but overall I think it's had a terrible affect on humans as a whole. Depression, addictions, anxiety, suicide, mental illness, perversions... the moral decay from God's natural order.
Quote from The Logic of Liberty:
"In such men, the traditional forms for holding moral ideals had been shattered and their moral passions diverted into the only channels which a strictly mechanistic conception of man and society left open to them. We may call this the process of moral inversion. The morally inverted person has not merely performed a philosophic substitution of moral aims by material purposes, but is acting with the whole force of his homeless moral passions within a purely materialistic framework of purposes.
Human beings are by nature motivated by moral passions. When by education or training they are denied an intellectual ground for their moral passions, these passions, like a river that has run out of its banks, flow in an uncontrolled flood into whatever channel lies conveniently at hand. In modern, materialistic societies, that channel has been revolutionary action designed to create a new society along strictly materialistic notions. Communism or some for of national socialism has been the preferred channel. The disasters of the 21st century have been powered by a moral energy resulting from this rechanneling of moral passions in a destructive way."
The controllers of the world get away with everything because we are so morally bankrupt, we will blindly do whatever they present us with. Go out and find a village of people who have been living off the land for decades. They are low-tech, isolated and live simple lives involving physical labor to survive.
Tell these people that their 12 year old son can become a women if he has his penis surgically removed and takes your cocktail of hormones.
