I’ve found myself remarkably intrigued by Amish people lately, mostly because it seems like when the Apocalypse happens in a few years or whenever they’ll be the most prepared of everyone in America — even more so than Native Americans — to deal since they’ve been preparing their whole lives, and it will be important to be cool with them in order to not get eaten by the roving bands of rape cannibals. In truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if Amish actually become sort of exalted wise people in our society, kind of like the elders in a tribe, or at least how I imagine tribe elders are, sharing their wisdom and useful knowledge of the land and such.

With that in mind, the above quote is not about blind people, but is actually about the Amish because they don’t use the internet, which when you think about it will be a really useful thing to not have any reliance upon when it doesn’t exist in however long. I’ll totally miss being able to convert inches into yards and check the weather on my widgets, but they’ll just know how to know the weather by looking at the sky and throwing some grass into the wind. On the other hand, they won’t be able to take part in the reminiscing we’ll all do about all the funny YouTube videos we used to watch, and will instead have to tell the same stories about how Uncle Owen got tired cutting the tree that fell into the road into firewood over and over again. There are pros and cons when it comes to Amish.
