"Return to monkey" was always a low-key nod to Ted lol
Exactly, Ted was featured a lot in the return to monke memes, it's no coincidence

Most of ted’s fans are chronically online people and i find that to be the universes greatest irony
Edit: y’all, my comment is not that deep. Y’all dont need to defend yourselves or ted to me, im not listening, i was never listening. I was learning about what ted actually believed besides his well known opening statement in his manifesto. Then i made a stereotype of ted fans based on my observations of multiple accounts on tiktok posting a 25-30 picture’s slewed together in a slideshow of ted affirming memes/posts everyday with the audio “california dreamin” by the mamas & the papas. It was meant to be light hearted comment, but i guess that was lost in translation.

I read his manifesto. There were plenty of parts where I was like, "Damn... Am I about to agree with the Unibomber?" I did. And I still do. Not everything, but he had some good points.
Same here
Of course he has good points he was an intelligent man. He was talking about our lives before he even saw them. He knew what was happening, the shackles of technology were being prepared for us in the 70's right when the Internet barely even existed.
@@ganiniii As I said he had very good points, many of which I agree with.
Problem with people like him is, that he copies and retells philosophy, which other people react positively to. But he himself is not able to live by it, because he does not understand it. And therefore isn't able to take advantage of it. Otherwise he would be successful and content with himself. Instead it twists message of such philosophy to the opposite of its original meaning. The snippets of his philosophy do not come from him, from his experiences. His only contribution is hate towards society, because he is not able to actualize himself within it. And he isn't even able to live without technology (like he wants everybody else to live like), because otherwise he would just stay in forest and not bother anybody. Basically, he wants to bite a hand, that is feeding him.
@@jankom.7783 it seems you made a philosophical soup!!! Resistance to technology exists since the industrial revolution and since the crisis it provoqued that pushed manufacturers into poverty. It's a classical philosophical problem. I am not saying his method is in any way right or productive but he (and any one that defends his position towards technology) could never be happy in a technology based society like ours. It's the CCTV, the constant surveillance through our phones, biometric systems, secret services that make this people unhappy, therefore the classical isolation they always attempt. Society will never be perfect therefore unhappiness will always be there for some. For the misfits if you prefer.
Here's a fun fact: Kaczynski made several significant mathematical insights when he was a professor. His quotes can still be found in older math books but they always spell his name in an alternate way i.e. (Theodore J. K.)
Interesting. Can you link me to one example? I really would like to see it

@@bonk2910 which always rough isn't? Not realizing something is bad until you've invested so much into it?
@@ACowboyHat nothing is bad, only misused. Those who blame tools, are ones.
That's cool
One of the most striking concepts expressed by the Unabomber is the opposition to medicating psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and paranoia. He believed that drugs such as SSRI's are bad for society because they essentially just make us able to tolerate conditions that we naturally find unacceptable, and I find that to be an extremely powerful assertion.
The thing is some people are depressed by genetic and hereditary matters and not society at all. Even if we lived in his perfect natural world those people would still need SSRI's. Even now the effect of SSRI's is yes to make society more bearable but also that enables people to enact change in society.
@@NTNG13 Yes, this is true, but I feel like we're really bad at separating the two.
@NTNG13
Keep telling yourself that paypig
@@NTNG13Environmental changes/influences can be passed down genetically. Look up inter generational trauma/trans generational trauma. There are black americans today who are scared of dogs because of how they were used back then. This is completely oblivious to the fact that social constructs can have long term changes on the body and on a social group for decades and centuries. It’s a very simplified and disingenuous analysis, no offense
@@karensabortionclinic7491I sincerely hope you're joking. The trope of black people being scared of dogs is not genetic at all. Prove me otherwise, I don't think you can.
That fear of dogs cliche comes from the social upbringing of usually poorer black Americans growing up around aggressive dogs like pitbulls in lower class neighborhoods.

@@glowmobile596 the problem is that shallowly support of his beliefs and share his beliefs with memes and all, but never do anything. It just functions to sedate people more than ever. They can post an image, and act as though thats enough, it's like guy debord writes. The revolution is cut off by it's image. People get to feel the revolutionary sentiment without engaging in the revolution. Him becoming a meme dooms his ideas more than the suppression of it

There is a lot of sound reason in this man. But we also have to acknowledge his pessimism, and his radical threshold for violence. Also, hes such an idealogue, he didnt realise that the entire world would have to participate. At the very end, this guy points these crucial points out very wonderfully.
I was captivated by Kaczynski's intellectual prowess showcased in Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution.

Ted kazincky is the kind of guy who wishes for the world to live in a way he was never able to
Bro couldn't harvest crops and he heavily relied on his parent's income
@@slimboarder.o7 Idealism
Parents: "Go outside."
Kid: "You can't tell me what to do!"
Years Later
Ted Kaczynski: "Go outside."
Teen: "Wow! Profound!"
The kid Understands the actions of the parents as he gets older and their worldview widens
As you age, you will begin to become your parents as you start to see their reason. Children simply lack the lofe experience and mental capacity to understand what is best for them
@@justadummy8076 You make it seem as though a child is an idiotic being that cannot determine left from right. I do believe many children have the mental capacity to comprehend the reason but most times the person telling a child to do something, rarely gives the reasons as to why they need to do that. They give grandiose reasoning saying to just trust them on it and that, "you'll understand when you're older". People need to see children as more than mindless beings to cram information into. The young are tomorrows saviors. Remember that
Rubys Mine I never said children were stupid, but they do lack maturity and wisdom, in the example above, the parent tells the kid to go outside because outside play is conducive to health and exercise whilst playing which keeps it fun, and they also get Vitamin D from the sun, but the kid is usually led by short term thinking and quick and easy gratification rather than seeing the bigger picture of realising that if all they do is play games inside on a chair and putting it off, their health will eventually decline, and it’s easy to fall into that kind of routine.
And plus there is truth to the “not understanding till your older” it’s difficult to explain things in a way that children will understand the ulterior motives sometimes, for example most kids see maths as a bore and no matter how much you explain why it’s important, it will not change their feelings in the present until they are older and basic mathematic skills become second nature.
He does have SOME fantastic point tho

It is shocking just how much I've heard _of_ the Unabomber, yet never actually learned anything about him.
Like that he was a mathematical prodigy, a young professor, subjected himself to psychological experiments apparently, had an 'experience' with gender reassignment briefly, held strong ecological standards, and just-
Besides the turn to violence and hatred, he was by far a seriously phenomenal character and I just cant believe I was never told anything about him.
Kaczynski has written two books from prison, they're excellent: Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution 😊
He could have been more influential if his writings weren't discarded as a lunatic serial killer's egotistical ramblings. His criminal activity gave him short-term notoriety, but severely damaged any long-term respect. You could argue any philosopher THAT desperate to spread his message must not be very confident in his own writings.
@@ArchSchizo "Paragraph 96. "If we had never done anything violent and had submitted the present writings to a publisher, they probably would not have been accepted. If they had been been accepted and published, they probably would not have attracted many readers, because it’s more fun to watch the entertainment put out by the media than to read a sober essay. Even if these writings had had many readers, most of these readers would soon have forgotten what they had read as their minds were flooded by the mass of material to which the media expose them. In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people."
If Theodore Kaczynski had never killed, you would have probably never heard of him or about his work. This very video would not exist. Not to mention that he killed people who he saw as contributing to the growth and continuation of the industrial society.
@nossravgni8707
So you saying if your family was killed by his actions to publish his books, you would be fine?
@@dimitrifake53 That is not the point I am trying to prove. I think that Theodore Kaczynski is confident in his own writings, contrary to what ArchSchizo wrote. I am not justifying the killings he committed.

Many of the most outspoken voices warning of the dangers of drugs are former addicts. Tech nerds are intimately familiar with the downsides of technology.
Tech nerds actually understand technology. I'd say there is a point to be made there.
i heard a joke:
"One guy: Man, I don't know much about tech, but ai got smart phone, smart fridge, smart watch etc.
IT guy: Only tech I have in the house is a printer, and I got a glock next to it in case it starts making noise I dont recognize"
Since Mr. Kaczynski died today, I came to this video to learn more about him. My opinion of his ideals, personally, range from "Yeah, let him cook" to "Shoulda never let this man cook"
Honestly, he shouldn't have killed to spread the ideals, but should have found another way. Either book writing or something else.
@@beautifulspacer2861 Most of us wouldn't have heard of it then, simple as. Obedience to the social machine and the status quo is what enabled technology to enslave us - it wouldn't have been in his best interest to play by society's rule in order to destroy the industrial society.
@@beautifulspacer2861He says in the book that he had to kill people for his book to be read, as it was the only way he saw fit to keep his ideology relevant.
@@genericpseudoname160No I think it’s simple really, if you have to kill people to spread your message then that is not a message worth spreading

While not perfect, it’s scary how accurate this manifesto turned out to be, when people are more defeated and depressed than ever before and culture seems to rot more and more by the day. The guy predicted all this stuff decades before it happened and was pretty spot on. Clearly the bombings were horrendous but you can’t fault him on the basis of the manifesto. The parts about long and purposeless life and the system collapsing under its own weight and environmental issues are particularly terrifying.
Honestly he would be a more respected person if he just wrote manifestos and published them. His idea in his manifesto intro that "no one's gonna listen unless I hurt people" was a selfish, wreckless and downright ridiculous decision for him to make.
@@jackdaniel3135 maybe the 3 year test with old unethical CIA interrogations did break him in that aspect, he himself thought that he was the only one, until he came along jacques ellul. He never heard of him and he was about peace over violence. That's just my thoughts really

@@ResponsibleBee-qk4ob Did he pay you to spam these comments?
I am particularly sympathetic with his case on garbage and pollution. It seems incredibly wasteful, and on a daily basis, it makes us confront just how stupidly unclever we are in dealing with this problem. We open a bottle, use it once, throw it out, and get another bottle - who in their right mind thinks this is the optimum way of doing things. It is a naked insanity.
Well, consider stone age society then when instead of opening a bottle and throwing away you kill a mammoth, chop a piece of meat from its ass and leave remaining 2 tons of meat to rot. Then do the same next week :)
@@deltaxcd The arrival of humans to a new area with large mammals typically resulted in the mass extinction of those animals.
@@jamesboulger8705 Yes, but I think wasting entire mammoth is more wasteful than throwing away plastic bottle. so things definitely improved :)
@@deltaxcd I would reference Bill Burr's bit on population. He makes a joke that it isn't wasteful to kill a bald eagle in a country with only 5,000 people, because there would be plenty of bald eagles. Likewise, things have not improved - you must look at the global rate at which waste is generated. Noone could deny by any reasonable metric that what we are doing, which is far more wasteful, and when there alternatives. To compare our efficiency against Cro-Magnon man is ludicrous.
@@jamesboulger8705 I think it is not the way how you count waste. as you have to count it per person and also take into account quality of life. modern life is far less wasteful than in the stone age or middle ages even if we produce more trash in total.
If you attempted to turn the time back with the current population earth woud be destroyed almost instantly because people would chop off and burn every tre kill every living animal and dig up all edible plants then finish by eating each other until nothing is left even for those 5000 remaining.

@@ResponsibleBee-qk4ob He is obsessed with technology and sees everything through this narrow lens of technology being the root of all evil, but the human condition, society and all it`s problems go much deeper than that.
@@DustOfTheNorth No we are not. Never ever before in history have people enjoyed more freedom and wealth than today, worldwide.
People tend to have a romanticized look on the past.
13:10 He has a whole chapter about how the "good" technology cannot be separated from the "bad" technology because the good technology such as glasses requires a whole supply chain to produce on a massive scale, and cannot be done without the system. In his book, he uses fridges as an example.
Eyeglasses are relatively easy to produce on a small scale. If someone needs to improve their vision, then they can hand craft their own eyeglasses. There are many "good" technologies that are viable on a small scale, if we only produce them where necessary. For example, HVAC is unnecessary in temperate regions, so we could eliminate that production. Also refrigeration is desirable, but it could be replaced by smoking, pickling and drying (other products of science and technology). Science is important for generating ideas. However, people should criticize the utility of ideas. The endless innovation to fuel mass consumption is destructive.
@@X4R2 Yeah, I read the book. Wrote a report on it too. I was criticizing how the video misrepresented his argument
@@X4R2 eyeglasses are not really that vital if you are not using technology not that much small stuff to look at and it will be rare for someone to survive until the age when they will be required LOL
I have glasses.
if I went outside more as a kid, I wouldn't need them.
I did go outside, but during my early days of eye development, I was in a shitty neighborhood full of assholes and extremely violent and abusing people for no reason. I would be asking random kids to play together as a little kid and they would get hostile, until I lost all my courage to interact with people. and here I am, having a part of my psyche completely ruined.
@@sillygooberment Not sure it going out more would help with your eyesight. those kind of disorders are purely genetic
Honestly you are doing him a bit of a disservice. He didn't belive that sending those bombs would stop the industrial society. He did it for attention for his cause, and when the times published his manifest he won.
You didn't think this through. He bombed to get attention to his manifesto, so that this attention can then fuel a stop of the industrial society. Thus - bombing was fully well intended to stop the industrial society, just not directly; indirectly by the long-term culminations of the attention through said initial bombing.
"he won" uh oh
"He won" yeah his work became a meme on the internet
@@wiswc So in the end his plan of spreading his ideas succeeded, yea he won. i dont think someone like ted is stupid enough to think he could have done this by himself
Idk "won" is kind of a strong word. Sure his ideas were spread, but they aren't seriously considered outside of some very fringe circles. Ultimately his ideas are more commonly used as the vapid entertainment he railed against, rather than inspiring a genuine political movement.

Good thing its only 15 minutes and 20 seconds then
He lies about ted at 7:18. He says ted promotes violence, but he doesn't. He used it, but he spoke specifically against it.
@Bad Mash he doesn't promote revolution really either, it's more of being ready to capitalize on an inevitable revolution iirc. I've only read the one thing though, maybe in his newer works he thinks differently.
The difference in the “stoic” reactions Ted describes is that “natural” processes are not by design. Nobody is at fault for creating or allowing them so a stoic reaction is only reasonable. When the boundaries of your freedom are instead a creation of your fellow man the reaction has somewhere to aim.
If a group of people successfully collapsed society and returned us to a state of being threatened by "natural" processes, then yes--somebody is at fault for allowing them to have that power over us
@@JoshTheOther The destruction of society means the destruction of the tools needed to change and improve society. Fault can be found in the factors causing a "natural" state but a solution will not be available. The reduction of economy and society means the reduction of complexity and scale to compete locally, socially and economically. People don't have to "blame" at that point they can just DO.

You had me up until the end. He literally had a section in ISAIF where he explains how you can’t have the “good” technology like glasses without the bad technology.

@@davidochieng9296He was delusional.
As much as I'm very much in favor of the principle of "Sometimes terrible people produce valuable things. Separate the work from the person's moral failings..." Unibomber philosophy is a step too far for me. It's not like "This filmmaker was a genius ... And also a kiddy fiddler". In this case the ideas are directly related to his murdering.
Besides, he wasn't actually all that original or insightful. Others have connected criticisms of technological society and corrosion of nature by it. In fact, it was present in 19th century philosophy and then revised with the rise of environmentalist writings in the 1950s.
The best we can say about him is that he was a lost soul who lost his sanity - something that can be very tumultuous for people of extraordinarily high intelligence.

I think the main difference is not that primitive man has more control in a real sense, but that he doesn't delude himself into thinking he or his civilization has control over everything.

“Ted Kaczynski should be released from prison”
“Can you elaborate on that?”
*”no.”*
He'd probably send more bombs if he was released. Well, he'll be dead within the year, but still.
You are missing another piece the distinction he makes between the problems of primitive man vs the problems of modern man: the primitive man's problems exist because of the natural state of the environment he lives in; the modern man's problems are inflicted upon him by the manmade structures and hierarchies within which he lives, his problems are entirely of human creation are are thus unnecessary, unjust, and altogether unacceptable for him to be required to bear.
How does that make the primitive man's life better or preferable to the modern man's in any way? It's like arguing that a person who dies at age 5 of an incurable genetic disease is better off than if he or she could survive to adult age and get locked up for a couple of years on drug charges.
Trails through the woods are man made but no one consciously designed them. Many human institutions, customs, and hierarchies emerge spontaneously from our nature and from complex patterns of collective behavior. These are no more unfair or unjust than their counterparts in the animal world.
@@nothingineternityterms To quote the Manifesto,
"It is true that primitive man is powerless against
some of the things that threaten him; disease for example.
But he can accept the risk of disease stoically. It is part of
the nature of things, it is no one’s fault, unless it is the fault
of some imaginary, impersonal demon. But threats to the
modern individual tend to be MAN-MADE. They are not
the results of chance but are IMPOSED on him by other
persons whose decisions he, as an individual, is unable
to influence. Consequently he feels frustrated, humiliated
and angry."
He then goes on to say that the industrial society monopolizes power into the hands of a few, who also are restricted in their freedom. We know this is true because of the moralization of Big Tech upon the rest of us. Shadow banning, verification, forced unsubcription, and banning accounts are done to all users beyond the neutral goals of blatant illegality.
@@snippletrap Yes. Dying at a young age from a disease that could've been prevented is terrible, but the Industrial Revolution created a dysgenic society that is way worst. A dysgenic society promotes the survival and perpetuation of unhealthy people and ideas
@@nothingineternityterms i don't think anyone made that claim. but you cant tell me that there isn't a difference between the threat of disease and the threat of dumping chemicals in natural bodies of water. one is a natural occurrence; our terrestrial reality if you will, that go by the laws of nature. whereas the other one is forced upon us by other human beings. you are always in control of yourself and how to deal with reality, but why would i want to deal with a reality that is damaged by others; beyond my reach. they are two different things.

I'm a retired electrical engineer, and I also think that technology has had a horrifying effect on humanity. I think Kazynski was absolutely right in his analysis of the past, and thoroughly delusional in his ideas on how to fix it. I see no realistic way out of an extended dark age for humanity starting in the next few years.
I recently finished reading Ted Kaczynski's works, Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution, and I must say, they were absolutely captivating! Kaczynski's deep insights into the dangers of technology and his thought-provoking arguments made for an incredible read !!
#RipTed
Definitely. It seems like we are becoming less and less human. I’m young (15), and it scares me that I potentially have a lot of life left to live. It’s so prevalent that escape is near-impossible. I want to make a change and speak out against it but I’m only one person, and it’s already consumed so many to rely on it that I feel hopeless. Electronic devices are being given to extremely young children, often even at the age of 1, making the next generation more reliant on technology, and using it more normalized.
Yeah let's ignore capitalism. The problem must be technology
Rest in peace to this gigachad🫡
Your conclusion piece sounds to me like you only read his manifesto as to influence your opinion of his philosophy. This is evident in you calling him a natural idealist with his conception of "the noble savage". If you read Technological Slavery, a book of his collected writings, the third book 'The truth about primitive life: a critique of anarcho-primitivism' he explicitly takes to task those who think primitive life is easier and better (especially in a social sense re: leftism). Here, he puts himself in direct contrast to people like Zerzan who believe nature is more equitable and that social inequality is a product of socialization and industrialization. Ted goes to great lengths detailing many indigenous peoples studies to emphasize his point as he is very well read on how primitive life deals with the hardships of primitivism. He doesn't think primitivism is this Nobel savage simplicity but finds the savage to be happier as a result of freedom, not being subjected to the artificial 'System'
Huh
His argument is still flawed to me. He still dances around the fact that primitive life generally sucks and his ideas of primitivism seem very loose, based on what you said.
Yeah, I honestly was somewhat surprised with his conclusions... Kaczynski explicitly criticized anarcho-primitivism! And Sisyphus' videos are usually better researched than this. But what else can you expect from a VPN-peddeling e-celeb.
@@alexanderschoenbrunn6696 Yes it sucks. But consider that nation-states and other "systems" are naturally evolved (since about the invention of agriculture. The weak just died. The Pandora's Box of technology mentioned in the video is an evolutionary Red Queen's race.) meme-complexes with their own agenda (in fact, it is this agenda that people have been robbed of) and very strong sense of self-preservation, that most people are totally, if seemingly softly (just placated enough not to revolt), subservient to. He says "but people can go live in a cabin in Montana!" What do you think would happen if significant fraction of people chose to do that?
@@alexanderschoenbrunn6696 read the actual essay instead of taking my RUclips comment summary at face value
Ted doesn't say that all technology is bad, he says that technology works as a whole. He says that you can't keep the good parts of technology without keeping the whole system altogether. About not being able to accept modern problems "stoically", he states that it is because modern problems are man made, we know that someone has the power to affect our lives, but we can do nothing about it, while nature's problems are just things that are completely out of control of any human being. There are more mistakes in this video, but I'm not in the mood to argue about them, I'm just gonna leave these two things so people who watched it don't take this video as being completely right about Kaczynski's philosophy. Go read the man, his manifesto and other writings and, better yet, go read Ellul.
he was an idiot, the video shows how confused and backwards his logic was. he was a psycho, not a scholar.
Many of nature's problems become man made the moment you have the means to overcome them but refuse to due to a silly ideological commitment to the notion of dismantling modernism. Diseases is the prime example.
@@seraphini1248 finally, somebody with common sense
Do y’all really think that collapsing society is going to lead to a better life? Have ever considered what that future might actually be like? Do you think maybe you kids will benefit? or maybe their kids? Have you ever looked at what life was like even a hundred years ago? First of all it would take unimaginable death and suffering to achieve this and by the off chance you survive the wars and famine you be left to toil away in regret. Ted has no real answer to the problems he sees he just can’t get over the fact that his life isn’t in his control and nether is anyone else’s’, and that will never change.
@@Joe-hd2pm and yet, thousands, no millions more will die and have died because of industrial society. If everyone would be living like Kaczynski there would be no more war, plague or poverty, there would be peace among man.

Hate to say this. I read his whole manifesto when I was in my early 20s. Not one thing I could definitively and certainly 'disagree' with.
I thought the same but just because the manifesto was so evasive, he often try and step back when he find himself coming out too strong, every chapter is a variation of "I know what you are thinking but wait!"
Unabomber: The Sequel: The Movie: The Game: The Parable
Eh...that's not the best endorsement really.
His observations are really good. His conclusions are pretty questionable. His solutions are stupid.
You can't disagree with the notion that you shouldn't have any empathy for strangers?
i just finished reading his manifesto and i came to youtube to learn about him more and BOOM my favorite youtuber post a video about it damn what a coincidence
I hope "boom" was intentional

It's amazing how quickly even the psychology professors forget about, "Do no harm" when they are running an experiment. They had no background on these people that they were using as subjects, not enough to know if they were doing significant damage to their egos. Even Zimbardo had to be reminded by someone outside of the experiment to "Do no harm" before he shut his experiment down. Ted also had to resort to violence to "get his message out" and he had no problem doing so. If his ideas were so compelling or provocative, he would have no problem at all getting people to listen to them. If you have to resort to violence, it is because your ideas are not good enough to compel people to want to listen to them.
This was also a long while ago, when psychological experiments were often unregulated and led to awful conditions for their patients. There's a lot of control and oversight nowadays.
@@overestimatedforesight The oversight that they would love everyone to believe is in place, is not. Look at the present problem that the "modern Psychologists & Psychiatrists" are creating with Gender Dysphoria and the like. There is still a considerable problem with these "soft science" clinicians creating data, falsifying data and doing everything they can to undermine legitimate empirical data to affirm a political position, rather than keeping the well being of their patients as their paramount concern.

Funnily enough, Ted has an essay where he criticises anarcho-primitivism, expaining that life without technology is actually often quite harsh and unhappy, but states that it would be worth it because being free is better. Also somewhere in the Manifesto he acknowledges the possibility of a technological society to be fairly happy (with all the work being automated and people engaging in "small hobbies" or something like that), but says it wouldn't be worthwhile.
It seems to me his believes stem more from his value system placing freedom above happiness, rather than the calculation that technology is bad for said happiness. Though I'm not sure, I should probably read the Manifesto to the end.
Yeah, he does acknowledge a lot of things from the other side. But he still seems to default to primitive people's were happier because they had more control over their lives. Which may be true, and that could be a good conversation to have. But to come to the insane conclusion that we need to regress society back to a state of primitiveness is crazy.
It's like he just wanted an easy way out rather than going to the painstaking and admittedly complicated process of finding a way to mesh our modern technology in a way that would let us be happier. Nobody said society would be easy, but hitting the "it's bad I wanna go back" button is just a cop out in all respects
i've read the manifesto, yeah the part you mention highkey just says "yea okay people MIGHT become happy even with technology🙄🙄 not the kind of happy that i believe is valid tho so fuck that they don't deserve to be happy that way"
"Being free is better" - every popular philosophy espoused by any sort of US libertarian holds up "freedom" as the ultimate prize in life but doesn't define it. At this point I'm starting to think "freedom" is a lazy byword for "what if you were world-king and everyone did everything your way", and everyone espousing such a philosophy is nothing more than a narcissist who is incapable of conceiving that anyone who disagrees with them is anything other than an intellectual prisoner of whatever aspect of life the philosopher is being neurotic about today.
@@lordofleaves257 its because technology is moving in a way where no man will have any liberty their bodies their thoughts their work will all be controlled and monitored by the government like in china and ontop of that humsns are making more and more deadly weapons aswell as bio weapons capable of decimating the human population it is irrational to see such a future as worse then his ideal of returning the world to a primitive state it is a worthy sacrifice if we are to be safe and free

The high school I went to, Thomas Worthington in Ohio, has a class called Poli Rad (which stands for political radicalism) in which all sorts of extremists and people with weird perspectives and ideologies are invited in to speak and answer questions. My understanding is this class has been around for years, and the Unabomber was one of the people they had in to speak a couple times. I'm not sure how many more years this class will be around, but it was something I'll never forget and I think a valuable experience even though it was super uncomfortable at times.

People can say what they want, but I completely agree with Kaczynski. I don't personally agree with the way he expressed his thoughts, but this was clearly after he deemed he had tried every other possible solution. Technology & the matrix like strangle hold it has on society, going back to waterwheels and actually talking to people instead of being glued behind a screen our whole life is something I can completely agree with. Lastly, I debate with myself if a revolution is needed, and the idea of reform is fantasy. What ended this debate was history, anytime real change occurs it's always revolution.

@@sawyerc5139 Nah I can just separate his ideologies and the fact that he murdered people. His ideologies are solid, the ladder not so much.

@@See-ris nothing's stopping people from talking to each other but their own refusal to recognize their problem and go out more.

Unabomber would be the most badass war plane I have never heard of.
He did
both sewers and eyeglasses are pre-industrial inventions, recorded music is a mixed blessing.
Is that a pun?
I don't see why there should be a distinction. Glasses are still a product of industry /industrial society as are irrigation, mills, aqueducts etc. Industrial society in reality predates the 1800s industrial revolution, did Ted understand this? The 1700s weren't the noble savage living in a cave. The industrial revolution is just a speeding up of technological progress and we'd get to this point either way. It would be very hard to go to a time before mass production, because that includes mass production of food aka the Neolithic Revolution which had the same effects he's complaining about with regards to socialisation and dependence (but it seemed like a bigger plus than minus for some reason...). Division of labour was already a thing in at least 5000 BC. Not only is he unable to draw the line the line is one under the best circumstances made in sand, a pre-industrial society will see the marginal utility of industrialisation -because not everyone has the same view of happiness as he does
Careful industrialisation so that it primarily serves to improve the lives of humanity is miles better than mass deindustrialisation. It's why our lives in the west are better nowadays than those in the days of child labour factories and super polluted cities, because we already recognised this and remedied those things, Europe is better at this. He says while this is possible it wouldn't be worth it, because he wouldn't be happy even with that due to not being free of the negatives.
Ted comes off as someone who grew up in a city his entire life (and then california) and is a victim of the oversocialisation that he describes, and driven to extremism by it because he was overexposed and failed to see the communities and villages that are just fine and not omg destroyed! by industrialisation. The same goes for the teens who fall in love with what he has to say, anyone who is well adjusted recognises that industrial society isn't ruining our lives or at least doesn't let it ruin theirs. If Ted grew up in the 2000s he'd be one of those kids who doesn't touch grass ever and then posts on reddit that we live in a society. He thinks people spend most of their "unfulfilling lives" (projection) doing useless things like "scientific work" (yes he thinks many people spend their lives on that, gee i wonder if it has anything to do with spending his life pursuing the study of geometric function theory...) and "following sports teams", and that it's because of the industrial revolution because he lacks historical knowledge or even just understanding of how the human mind works for non autistic people. I mean the guy skipped multiple grades and his friends said he was emotionally unprepared and socially stunted, that's before he got psychologically abused for 3 years for the study. No wonder he thinks nobody has a life lol
Some of his ideas have a point (everyone recognises how we interact with technology can have some negative effects) but it's clearly all coming from a self-centered individual experience and outlook of a maladjusted, well I don't wanna call him a loser because it sounds childish, but a self-admittedly "unfulfilling life" that he's unable to stoically deal with. That alienation he ascribes mainly to the consequences of industrial society. And I haven't even mentioned his methods
(This wasn't all addressed to your comment it's just my thoughts)

this is a funny paradigm, can be solved even by logical induction alone. if something is right/real/ideal for 39 of things it express/show/tell and wrong/fake/deficient/ for remaining 1 thing. it is probably (i mean real probability) your mistake by how you define right/real/ideal and wrong/fake/deficient. if something has a standard to (i will not sort /'s anymore) expressing the 39 right, it is more likely to express remaining 1 more right too. in the case of it is really a wrong point, it should be a bigger or complex point to analyze than 39 points, and this point equivalent to bombings, violent actions by public opinion. i guess everyone will agree with me on this: in all system analyzes and revolution calls, the methods of something which is admitted to it, revolution,resistance or whatever you call, logically should be less controversial by meaning of big and small or 10-9. (big is thing to do and small is how to do there) this is just an logical explanation,i will not go for political or sociological structure of making something that changes in people or people' lives. lastly, the point you are making is in the fundamental, more likely to be elective or ethical. if you understand my points, i dont see a reason to say that why you think someone was all right but wrong in "one thing".
