ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

John Zerzan

John Zerzan is an American anarchist philosopher who believes in a very different form of government than the one we have today. Instead of having laws, regulations, and rules, he believes in living in harmony with nature, following our natural instincts, and creating peaceful societies based on cooperation and sharing. He argues that technology has been a destructive force in our society and that modern civilization has led to alienation between people, destruction of the environment, and increased levels of depression and suffering. He believes that in order to create a better world, we must give up the technology, laws, and regulation we have today and return to nature.
