Neo-Luddism is a leaderless movement of non-affiliated groups who resist modern technologies and dictate a return of some or all technologies to a more primitive level.[3] Neo-Luddites are characterized by one or more of the following practices: passively abandoning the use of technology, harming those who produce technology harmful to the environment, advocating simple living, or sabotaging technology. The modern neo-Luddite movement has connections with the anti-globalization movement, anti-science movement, anarcho-primitivism, radical environmentalism, and deep ecology.
Neo-Luddism is based on the concern of the technological impact on individuals, their communities, and/or the environment, Neo-Luddism stipulates the use of the precautionary principle for all new technologies, insisting that technologies be proven safe before adoption, due to the unknown effects that new technologies might inspire.
"A Culture of Machines" is about how modern society continues to become more reliant on electronics, we as individuals interact more and more with electronics rather than other humans. This appears to be creating a schism between our humanity and our capability. Lyrically, the song is illustrating how as we become more reliant upon machines, we become like machines ourselves.
lyrics
People, in their self-righteousness
Build until, they themselves, are obsolete
Complex is the emptiness
Feed the source of nothing that is ever-evolving
With cold and calculating eyes
The soul is mechanized
Empathy is buried alive
With screens to teach us how to breathe
Focus fades into a bleed
What is happening
This is not how we are designed
Looking upon suffering should inspire in kind
This has now, become, important to see
In these visions, in these scenes...
A Culture of Machines
The March ahead to progress
Lines the streets with merchants
Chanting. for. everyone's. money. and. access
The devils in the details
Its data everyone sells, and the
Merit. Of. A. person's. Life. Is. In. The. Numbers
How's it feel
It's all real
On the fringe
Of the end
Life has become just a simple equation
Ruining what would otherwise be perfect
It is said to Error is to be human
This is why change has become so important
Choices made from logic riddled emotion
Rarely gives guidance that has resolution
When life has failed to supply ample value
Neglect the soul, when following instruction
With cold and calculating eyes
The soul is mechanized
Empathy is buried alive
With screens to teach us how to breathe
Focus fades into a bleed
What is happening
This is not, how we are designed
Looking upon suffering should inspire in kind
This has now, become, important to see
In these visions, in these scenes...
