I was Army EOD ( bomb squad) and we studied Ted….Every bomb maker usually has a finger print, a certain way they make a bomb, but Ted never made the same type of device twice. It was extremely difficult to link each bomb mechanically because they were all different. Dude was a bomb making prodigy.
I was shocked when he gave the introduction and said, "Theodore Kaczynski, better known as..." Me: Uncle Ted Dankula: ....The Unabomber. Me: Oh yeah. Right.
I grew up in Montana, one of my high school teachers and his wife had Ted over for dinner once. They thought he was just a hermit who lived outside of town. He said Ted was very polite and thanked them for the meal afterward.
@@captainhoratius8192 it's getting crowded nowadays. Almost a million people in a state the size of Mongolia. 😉 More cows than people and more guns than cows.
Its like a self-fulfilling prophesy. Although i am whole-heartily against his murders. The only reason we talk about Ted's ideas and life is because of his infamy.
@@huebuckle8198 Yea pretty much. It got him more exposure initially but it surrounded his ideas with stigma. Now it's practically impossible to bring up his ideas in public without people interpreting that as either proliferating the ideas of a terrorist or, well, thinking you yourself are crazy. I wonder if his decision to get exposure through terrorism was a well-calculated product of a mind of a genius, or if that was spontaneous emotional decision as Ted snapped under the stress and his mental illnesses. Would his ideas be more or less known today had he gone a more peaceful and conformist route? Hard to tell
The only thing missed in Ted's legal defense was that he tried to pull a legal term called "Fruit of the Poisoned Tree". In the U.S. this legal term means law enforcement's means of searching or acquiring a search/arrest warrant were illegitimate and therefore all evidence acquired for trial is immediately thrown out. Ted's argument was that writing style and mannerisms was not enough evidence required for a search warrant and that the entire arrest and search of his cabin was therefore illegitimate. Had he succeeded in court this would've immediately had all evidence from his cabin thrown out and the prosecution would've only been left with the remains of bombs and the comparison of writing styles and mannerisms between private letters and his manifesto as evidence to try and convict him.
Having been inside Ted’s Shed (it was in a museum in DC until it shut down in 2020), it is impossible to describe how calm and peaceful of a place such a tiny space can be.
@@FirstFamilyCharger small shed, maybe 11x12 feet at most. It was stripped clean so it was just a shell at that point without any of his possessions. Doorway was chained off but you could stick your head in and look around, gave you a little quiet escape from the buzz of the people walking around and talking. It was in the Newseum, a currently relocating museum that was in DC and as the name suggests, focuses on the history of American media and how they covered events with some neat artifacts from 9/11, the mob, John Dillinger, and of course Uncle Ted. Hopefully they’ll still have it on display at the planned Virginia location.
Its almost frightening how often people who dislike society are those of high intellect. They can read in between the lines and realize just how truly fucked the world is.
"The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, we may one day see a man distribute a video of his girlfriend's pug dog doing a nazi salute." - Ted Kaczynski's Manifesto
FINALLY. THE TREE UNCLE IS COVERED. It's funny how many elements of his statements just keep getting proven correct! Anyway, I'll see you lads on the watchlists!
Aye, I couldn't agree more Fren!!! I'm sure most of us were already on at least a couple 🤣 Cuz if you aren't on a Government Watch List are even really living¿?
@Twstr The west is best. Masculinity is good. Proud Boys are not a hate group. Well unless you count hating marxist anti-American commies. We aren't racist or bigoted. The media lies.
I remember watching Nat Geo or Discovery about the Unabomber and one of the people they had on basically said that the language used in the manifesto was so high level academia or some shit that only a few people in the country would be able to comprehend it. They also said it was boring, as if that's any sort of legitimate critique. I listened to the manifesto and I understood it perfectly, it's in very plain english. I think that person just wanted to dissuade people from reading or listening to it.
Honestly the fact that his one “true” love being the penpal teacher who passed from lung cancer is actually crushing. He spoke so highly of her and literally wrote music for her. I could never wish that on anyone.
Ted's manifesto is interesting to me because before I read it, I thought his manifesto is gonna be full of schizo tier stuff but, after reading it I was surprised how well and intelligently his manifesto is written. Seriously, I was also surprised after knowing that he wrote his manifesto in hours (in his first try also) after the bombing started.
Schizophrenics, especially smart ones, don't always speak in "word salad" or in the same aggravated manner that is almost exclusively the way they're represented. Outside of extreme examples, they really only speak like that in short stints and shorter still if they take care of themselves. That's why they're called "episodes".
@@rieskimo thank you. For me personally its just that words come out just sometimes in the wrong order but it sounds correct in my brain but when my girlfriend questions my sentence and repeats it back to me I get the meaning but see the sentence being fucked
33:30 "Call Nathan R" got to be my favourite part. Could just imagine the excitement among the agents unaware of that they were wasting their time and probably millions.
They never blinked at the idea of wasting money or resources of any sort. That doesn’t occur to people in that line of work in my experience. They just do what they think they ought to do and go about it in whichever way is the easiest or fastest or whatever regardless of the cost incurred by the taxpayers. It’s fucking gross.
it's our tax money they're wasting, so the joke is on us when you really think about it (i mean not me because i wasn't alive back then) but at least we can be happy knowing that they'll never get those years back that they spent chasing a red herring
Yeah. Although some people has not such big issue with teenage akwardness, and are basicly drowning in bitches during highschool. Then to absolute nerds like Ted that teenage not getting laid experience is pretty given, and can be so through much of adulthood as well.
He definitely had a lot of foresight and it must have been awful being that intelligent and seeing the world change that much that quickly in his time. There really is no other period of human advancement that rivals the 20th century and this man lived through over half of it seeing things others couldn't. Tragic in many ways, including how he decided to go about things.
It is literally unbearable. Intelligence is so meaningless in today's age it is frankly astounding. It is often coupled by the lack of drive or ambition for some sick cosmic joke.
The worst part about being a *"conspiracy theorist"* is being right over and over again, and the majority of people are still too daft to realise that their whole preconseived notion of the world is entirely an illusion, and false.
Being intelligent sucks, it's not like saying "being rich sucks" because hey, you have a lot of money. Intelligence rarely brings much money, it's a state of mind forced upon you, and some people such as myself just want to be dumb chill people. I'm not the only high IQ person I've known to end up abusing drugs to dumb themselves down or at least turn their brains off for a while. None of us were ever smart enough to have much real foresight into the future, but these days I've been somewhat obsessed with assessing the state of the world and given human history you can kind of see where we're going, society isn't at threat of collapsing, it already is collapsing, but we're too easy and relaxed because we weren't born in an era by people who actually fought for what they believe in, only coerced into a bullshit war. We can't survive in small family tribes and so most are able to push the thoughts away while others develop crippling anxiety and few are left to ponder the consequences and ultimate outcome. There's no solution besides immense violence towards the governments and especially the corporations, but it has to be done by those living in the countries where the governments and corporations reside or else the third world war will break out, it would take the most extreme number of worldwide civil wars in history to break out all at the same time for our problems to be actually fixed (that's not to say things will actually be completely fixed, you always have to be concerned of who takes over what nation and what their plans are), and since that will never happen, we are doomed to die off as a species except for a few which will have to slowly build back from very little, and much like the previous fallen civilizations, we will be rediscovered in the history books. Nobody wants to have kids these days, but the most important thing you can do is have kids and teach them how to live outside of current civilization.
@@alllovelain Intelligent people aren't well suited to modern society, the only freedom we have is the freedom to live a very specific lifestyle and not to question any rules placed on us. You need the ability to not be bothered by idiotic instruction or direction, bend like a reed and go with the flow, even if that directs you off a cliff. I've been called very intelligent by many people throughout life, specifically in engineering, I also have had an issue with drugs because at one stage in life I felt very stuck in a situation I really did not like, and I have never had any real luck in relationships so I just wanted to block it out, I felt stuck. Then I had the government come through (I was working for them) and flip my life upside down, charged and convicted me for firearm related things making me un hireable with the government again and costing me every cent I had in savings. I was very lost for quite a while and to be honest I'm still pulling myself out of it. But I took the opertunity to start my own fabrication and engineering business, I didn't have to worry about been hired, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not going to let the government destroy me because I don't fit the mould, they can suck it, I still owe a lot of money which sucks, but I'll get there, somehow.
Pal of mine was raped by his mom, psychiatrists drugged him up to better cope with that as she continued to be in control of him. Yeah, psychiatry can stay the fuck away. Plus, now our governments, media and healthcare workers - id consider all that still have a job as guilty until proven otherwise -are engaged in psychological , physical and spriritual warfare against us.
It’s almost like Ted knew this woman would be his downfall, asking his brother to drop the relationship. Had he done that Ted would probably would’ve ended up like Walter white if Hank didn’t take a shit at his house.
@@themerchantofengland While he didn't mention social media. He spoke at length how technology breaks down human interactions and leaves people without the skills needed for social harmony. He also spoke about the overall harm of technology on the young and easily led.
I just started reading the manifesto and surrogate activity is the concept that I want to explore more. It has a lot of conceptual similarities to Veblen's Leisure Class.
Except they don't cuz every anglophone pronounces it Kazynski... it's acctualy Katchin'ski. Fun fact: There is this notorious duo of twins in polish politics with the same name. Possibly most important people in Poland of the last 30 years.
Idk whats more badass about this guy, that his manifesto was correct or that he wasted so much goddamn government money in almost 20 years while living in the woods that it puts dictators to shame
I don't know... living in a ditch, eating snails... I prefer relaxing with a beer that someone else has brewed and food that someone else has grown lol
"When you think about it.. the concept of gifted kids is actually quite fucked up... Obviously, it's good to nurture a child's natural talent early on and help them unlock their full potential.. but all that really happens is, the child is ripped away from their own peers, they have a massive amount of pressure unloaded onto them that they are just not ready for, and essentially, they are robbed of their childhood." Nobody has phrased this in a better way.. thanks Dank
Then he would've gotten caught a lot sooner because his followers wouldn't have been as careful as himself, and just by the nature of having so many people being harder to keep secret than one guy.
Last week in Philosophy class, we had to write down Philosophers we knew ond the blackboard. My buddy stood up and wrote Ted Kaczynski on the board, teacher didn't knew him, but I nearly pissed myself from laughing.
the fucked up thing is i didn't feel anything when i found my self agreeing with Teds writings. the man had more foresight than most. unfortunately he didn't have the social skills to express his feelings in any way other than violence. the government and society robed him of those social skills.
Plus he definitely didn't bomb strategically. He definitely could made a bigger impact if he had. Not saying anyone should bomb others, but we quickly forget our forefathers, who violently fought for their freedom.
@@rosieclown8817 They were, at least ostensibly, using violence in self defence. Ted was murdering people because he couldn't face his childhood trauma.
@@jw9099 He went to college early as a result of being a genius and got prayed on by the US government in a study he didn't know was happening as a part of MK Ultra which put him through psychological torture for months
The thing is… Ted won. He got exactly what he wanted, tens of thousands of people have read his manifesto and agree with it. Sure no one agrees with his methods but they were just a means to an end. An end he achieved just as he planned
The medium on which you are declaring Ted's victory is a clear indication that he hasn't won, he just got famous. Until you and everyone else gets off of the internet and start planting your own food, he hasn't won.
@Science Face It's not just that though is it? The old world has to be destroyed along with anyone who would defend it. Ted Kacynzki was an eco terrorist.
Ted is absolutely right about the power process. I was born in an extremely poor farm area in the Caribbean, and I experienced what it was like to live off the land in my early years of life. No electricity, no running water, farm and butcher our food, and giving back what we took. It really conditioned me as young child, when my family and I immigrated to Canada, it was like such a big shock in the face, especially in the 90s. The most shocking experience with me was that when i first enrolled in school I watched children throw away perfectly good meals that they came from home because of "options". Even as a young child I was so sad, in the Caribbean, I had classmates who had bloated stomaches from emancipation, children eating from the garbage in the extremely hot Sun and trying to steal and horde food to take home to feed their own families. Due to my experiences, I was never able to fully merge with today societies standard cog. I became a drop out, abused drugs, chasing women, had my run ins with the law, abandoning my family and even almost losing my life in the process. I was just a mess but thankfully I was able to get on track. The only thing that truly ever healed me, was going back to nature, just having my barefoot on the Earth just grounded me once more. As I slowly became more connected , I became more level headed and had a sense of purpose. I see all my friends, family, loved ones and strange just all caught up in all kinds of ordeals but they never once stopped to just appreciate being here and being in commune with nature. Go out there folks, actually live your life.
Hey, small correction, I think you meant Emaciation (starvation) instead of Emancipation (the freeing of slaves) Other than that, thank you for sharing your story! I'm very sorry to hear the pain you were brought from seeing your classmates waste perfectly good food. I'm glad you were able to reconnect with nature. rock on, brother.
Wished he used the time machine to warn us of how this technology would be used against us in updated takes. He's starting to sound more and more right.
exactly like seriously who rats on their family. Any of my family could kill someone with their bare hands in front of me and my only response would be "where we dumping this bro?" David is going to a deep pit of hell with every other traitor throughout history.
“The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.” - Uncle Ted.
@Andai I'm from a country that's very conservative. I can only speak to what I know and see here. Part of the reason why the conservative values are so strong is because the technological advancements are mostly for the rich. The rest, we just make do with what we've got. But with the tech advancements now being more available to everyone, yeah... I can see the decay of traditional values. Because the people are very easily influenced by what they see others do on social media.

The 100th Absolute Mad Lads episode is coming up and I'm hoping we get the Candy Man, Sam Hyde but I know Dankula doesn't like to cover people until their story is finished, so I can settle for a John McAfee episode.
@@aunnamedinternetuser9362 I trust that Dankula is fully planning on making an episode on him but is just waiting for the time to be right. Sam has been more relevant within the last year or so, especially since the iDubbbz documentary and now the boxing event but the Candy Man probably has much more in store for us.
Had a friend in the NAVY, said I'm from Montana and as a kid this mountain man would come to town from his homestead. He would buy all of kids treats and was a really nice guy. We called him Uncle Ted, very kind just turns out he had a hobby of blowing people up.
Honestly the story is true, now could he be lying sure, but yes he was from Montana and was the right age and lived in town near to him so we checked that much.
A lot of people in the comments have already summed feelings on Ted better than I ever could, so I'm going to say this: All the praise of his thought, how accurate his predications were etc. mean nothing if you don't act on it. If you genuinely believe what he wrote then make changes that you believe would benefit you. Become more self dependent, reduce the amount of technology you use- start small and then work your way up. Use the free time you would spend on entertainment to learn and practice new skills (which is a good advice for everyone, it is entertaining and a reward in itself): work on your physique, start a garden, learn bushcraft etc. Reduce your consumption of products you do not need, practice a more minimalist lifestyle. Reduce your dependence on consumerist society by not outsourcing aspects of your life to other people- Do you often eat premade food? Learn to cook. Do you call a repairman every time a plank cracks in your fence? Learn woodworking. In general learn proper maintenance of yourself and your household. If you genuinely believe what Ted had to say, then many of these things will bring happiness and freedom instead of being a chore. And it is through individual actions like this that we can hope to make a real change
@@build2270 soon? People on both sides of the political spectrum have been talking about how there’s going to be change “soon” and that the revolution will happen “soon” forever. No it fucking won’t

I'll do you one better, Agriculture and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Scrap the modern world, let billions die and return to enlightened hunter gatherer existence. 20k BCE was the last REAL golden age of humanity.
Ted is a really smart guy. His manifesto has a lot of good points i agree with. I'd just appreciate him more if he didnt try to kill/maim random people.
According to Dank', Ted knew what he was doing, knew that casualties would bring eyes to his message. He had to condemn this world, by playing the game of fame - attack this world, to save it. "Acceptable losses" - if not random victims, what then? Administering his own form/view of justice? Nooo, thats what a crazy person would do.
Uncle Ted looks crazy. He probably is crazy. But he got a PHD quicker than most people graduating college now. And whats more crazy is that Uncle Ted's manifesto is right on a lot of stuff.....
@@mamajumbo2452 He was attempting to predict the future without knowing what would actually happen in the future. He guessed right about a couple things but he isn't an actual time traveler like Matt Groening .
The idea that technology and the industrial revolution are bad is very short sighted IMO. It's like a caveman shaking his fist in the air at the invention of spears for they cause wars. If a being or even a society is too immature to play with their toys properly, then it's not necessarily the toy's fault.
I cried at the story about his wife. The fact that a man willing to die to destroy technology, was forced to use technology to show his love to someone, is truly beautiful and tragically ironic.
@@colliric did you actually read Industrial Society and Its Future? Because when he says technology takes away our freedom, he ain't talking about security cameras.

Sure he doesn't hate the concept of technology but its inevitable application.

You're 1000% correct on the double edged nature of these early enrollment programs for kids and young people. Now I'm nowhere near a genius like these prodigies, however I was given the option at 15 to solely attend college courses and I took it. I highly regret it. It was nice for a bit and granted me some bragging rights, but in retrospect I find that choice ultimately pointless and I do feel robbed of a true teenage experience. I was too young to really be embraced by the college kids and had a tenuous relationship with the high schoolers, and I always had my face in a book, so I just missed out and genuinely feel that started me off on the wrong foot with my career ambitions and mental health.

I went to a big city the other day, first time in years. It was bloody awful, horrendous. I think Ted may have been onto something. I'm happy to be back in my podunk little town, which is precariously close to a war but still preferable.
Moved to a less populated and underdeveloped place just 5 minutes away from the city and the difference is night and day, even the people are and they're generally better than those in the city
Small cities of like 100k people or under are fine, but there's a big city a few hours from me and visiting it is surreal. No greenery for kilometres makes it seem fake.
Ted getting MK-Ultra'd at 16 is a part that always gets dismissed and glazed over pretty hard in all the documentaries. I imagine giving a 16 year-old 160+ IQ boy heroic doses of acid and simultaneously testing out mind control conditioning and anti-terror interrogation might have a slight impact. Ted might be the maddest of lads.
People really don't understand how bad it is to mess with your brain chemistry/hormones. I'm not talking about doing a tab at Bonnaroo or some rave. I'm talking about prolonged exposure to reality altering substances. People can become completely schizophrenic off of moderate does of ayahuasca. It's no wonder people think things like Monarch Mind Control exist. Because ever since Josef Mengele information around that stuff is like looking around a house of mirrors.
@@hyperspacejester7377 what I heard was that the MK Ultra experiment done of Ted Kazinski was that EVERYTHING he stood for and believed were deliberately torn down and torn apart by a group of professors/experts to see what effect it would have on him.
MK Ultra does not always mean use of psychedelics. From what I understand it was trying to create a new personality from a person that could be used as an agent. Then they could go right back to being who they already were without remembering anything they did.
It’s really awesome , Ted really understood what was going on . A lot of people like myself are extremely observant, but Sometimes knowing too much , is too much ! Lol it can drive a person crazy :))
Being moved away from kids your age is awful. I was in school in the 70’s/80’s and the school put me in advanced studies. I did that for a couple years and they decided to have me skip 7th and 8th grade, throwing me straight into high school. My mom was a POS who saw it as a feather in her cap and shoved me into all of it. That experience was beyond terrifying and I purposely tanked it so I could get out. I just wanted to be with my friends and get away from high school boys being high school boys (I’m female). Funny thing is that I’m no genius but rather pick up on things quickly and enjoy learning. There’s a HUGE difference. The workload was obscene and they had me in these weird gifted classes that just pummeled me. I did one semester, failed on purpose, and was SO relieved when I got booted.
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 I take that as a compliment! I’m an almost 50yo boring accountant mom, but swear I have the mind of a younger dude. My Lego collection is a good example! 😂
Stefan Molyneux has talked about the unintended consequence of taking children out of one- or two-room schoolhouses and putting them into separate classes that rarely, if ever, interact with children of any other grade level--and especially not kids more than one grade above or below. He talked about his own experience of growing up in a neighborhood of kids of mixed ages and studies that show that that's actually good for kids. For example, when a bunch of kids of different ages get together, the older kids learn to have empathy for the younger ones and hold themselves back in order to make things easy for the young kids so they can have a good time. And older kids act as role models and encourage younger kids to grow up and stop crying or pouting when things don't go their way. So kids actually learn better social skills when they're exposed to kids both younger and older, not just kids their own age. (The same thing is true with adults; interacting with grandparents or other elderly people is important for children as well.) The sad thing is if you had been in one of those old-fashioned schoolhouses, you could have studied more advanced subjects while still sitting surrounded by kids your own age and you would have still played with them. (You would have also been around the older kids outside of the classroom, who would have almost certainly have treated you more kindly, having been used to having younger kids around all the time.) Chalk it up to yet one more thing that was better in the past and has been hurt by centralization and industrialization (in this case, the industrialization of education).
I had a similar experience to yours, as my father and grandfather were obsessed with having a "superkid" and pushed me into gifted studies. Like you, I would never call myself a genius, and find it quite uncomfortable when people tell me I'm smart. Out of extreme boredom and a desire to escape the gifted program, I unwisely quit hs in 10th grade and took my GED. This led to me starting college at 16 which was a terrible experience. Long story short, I became socially isolated and miserable. I wound up getting pregnant and became a mom at 17. Having my daughter is what saved me from total nihilism. I am thankful for my ability to learn quickly, as I've never had to struggle with studies or work. At 35, I moved to another country, became fluent in their language, and completed 3 years of university studies here. Having said that, being a mother to my 3 children is the only thing that has given me a sense of calling and fulfillment. Had I simply tried to live a life of studies and work, (making the big bucks, as my dad always dreamed) I'd have probably offed myself decades ago.
@@grubblandejean Wow, what a story, thanks for sharing. Kids are awesome for sure, my life would be so empty without them! Aren’t older kids a blast? Seems to me that life took you where it should have, just had to endure the bumpy ride there. 🙂 Sounds like we are similar in that we love to learn but it has to be personal interests and on our own terms/timelines. I always say that my hobby is having hobbies. 😅
I went a good portion of my life thinking Ted was a lunatic based on what the media said about him. Then years ago I read his manifesto, and he was spot on in so many ways.
Read it a while back in school after we watched a documentary on him. Agreed with a lot of it, there’s defo some questionable stuff in there, some racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny.I suppose you get to this stage when you get as crazed as he was and stop seeing things on a personal level.
I wouldn't give a fuck if they were saying "water is wet", if it's being said by the media, DON'T believe that shit unless you've got your hand in the sink
R.I.P to this truly fascinating and intelligent man, he had the right idea but could'nt think of a way to shake the people up and make them see without violence.
Imagine being that smart, subjected to crazy experiments and seeing technology being used for the military industrial complex at the age of 16...im no tree hugger but, he was right about a lot of what he wrote.
If I had a thousand bucks for every time that the US government broke a man and pushed him to do unreasonable things, I still couldn't use it to pay my taxes.
He also called out the way people of a certain political persuasion have hijacked all forms of meaningful activism, and converted it into nothing more than a way to further their political agenda.
Your phrasing seems circular to me. Activism (which must be political in nature in order to have any wide-reaching effects at all) serves no purpose other than furthering political agendas?
I'm sitting here and thinking about the hysteria some people must've had, then thought to myself, "I'm not worried. I mean, what are the odds this dude would send mail anywhere remotely near me? It's like a needle in a haystack for a bomb to go near you." And then he namedrops my hometown where he got his first real kill.
it's so bizarrely wholesome and poetic that ted, who hates technology with the deepest of passions, used a synthesizer to compose a song for his love to listen to in her dying moments, using headphones.
The issue is not exactly technology, I mean technology existed for all of human history, the issue is the industrial revolution, and how it greatly affected the human race, which did not prepare for it so well.
He believed that some technology was okay to use. He outlined in his writings which types were and weren't. Even if they contradicted a lot of the time.
I read the manifesto, he hated technology because he thought humans with technology were like alcoholics with a barrels of wine, I.E they would overdo it and cause alot of problems for themselves and everyone around them. He didn't necessarily believe technology was bad but that we would allow it to lose control over us and let it start to dictate us
@@FreeEstrogen tbh imo I believe the whole industrial civilisation n all industrial things should be rid off n reversed we should go back to the ways of our Ancestors truly fr go back , back to flint n obsidian for tools wether it’s a life of natural Hunter Gatherer or natural civilisation (agriculture) jus look at pre Columbus civilisations had going on Tenochtitlan city etc
I’ve read Industrial Society and it’s Consequences and I must say it definitely wasn’t what I expected. It’s incredibly well written, definitely not the ravings of an insane man as the media would have you believe. Dank is absolutely right most of the book is absolutely based. Everything from his critique of leftists and conservatives, to the analysis of the continually sprawling issues that come with the increase of technology is such a breath of fresh air in our stagnant society. It’s a sad catch-22 that the only reason that I, and many others, are aware of the manifesto is due to the evil actions of Ted (and also due to the internet which is the very definition of irony). Obviously his methodology was a massive issue, but I think you can separate the criminal from his belief system.
I think in a way, that's what Ted wanted. If he hadn't done what he did, nobody would have ever even known about his manifesto. Nobody would have read it at all.
I somewhat disagree. Many passages in the book go like this; [Make a statement about technology bad,] [make another statement clarifying that it's not always bad,] [make statement suggesting statement 1 overrides statement 2] And don't get me wrong, I understood it, and in reading of philosophers like Alasdair MacIntyre and Oswald Spengler I'm not ashamed to say that technology is basically dampening to the soul past a qualitative point. But Ted barely went into precise detail about the above structure. His "power process" is absent of any metaphysical grounding, and didn't he use shelter for his hut? His clothes and hut were still forms of technology, and by omission of his own life leading, were apart of the primitive philosophy. It's not clear that suffering for worse than better; would dissipate upon returning to his utopian vision, it's also not clear where the line to be drawn is with technology as stated above because Ted certainly used some of it authentically.
@@NetworkSneed I mean you can totally disagree with the writing, but dissecting it and proposing that it was “primitive” is laughable. Ted made really interesting points on the dystopian nature of technology and its use of power harnessed by the government and big corporations. Ultimately the point of the manifesto was to “red pill” the general public and make us more aware of the consequences of our actions. To deduct that he didn’t define technology is also COMICAL, like hello mr.literal can you not use context clues and references he made throughout the essay? Read it again buddy.

Yea pretty much. It got him more exposure initially but it surrounded his ideas with stigma. Now it's practically impossible to bring up his ideas in public without people interpreting that as either proliferating the ideas of a terrorist or, well, thinking you yourself are crazy.
I wonder if his decision to get exposure through terrorism was a well-calculated product of a mind of a genius, or if that was spontaneous emotional decision as Ted snapped under the stress and his mental illnesses. Would his ideas be more or less known today had he gone a more peaceful and conformist route? Hard to tell

For how smart Ted was, it’s a blunder why he didn’t send mail to politicians that legislated and funded the problems.
And obviously feds.
The goal was only to have his manifesto published. He didn't believe this problem was solvable by the mere elimination of a few people.
@HatefulPerfection then why did he target anyone? Surely there are better ways.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
It was never really about the people. It’s about what people built.
The only thing missed in Ted's legal defense was that he tried to pull a legal term called "Fruit of the Poisoned Tree". In the U.S. this legal term means law enforcement's means of searching or acquiring a search/arrest warrant were illegitimate and therefore all evidence acquired for trial is immediately thrown out. Ted's argument was that writing style and mannerisms was not enough evidence required for a search warrant and that the entire arrest and search of his cabin was therefore illegitimate. Had he succeeded in court this would've immediately had all evidence from his cabin thrown out and the prosecution would've only been left with the remains of bombs and the comparison of writing styles and mannerisms between private letters and his manifesto as evidence to try and convict him.

Seriously, I was also surprised after knowing that he wrote his manifesto in hours (in his first try also) after the bombing started.
Schizophrenics, especially smart ones, don't always speak in "word salad" or in the same aggravated manner that is almost exclusively the way they're represented.

@Anarchy4sale 🤓
@Anarchy4sale came here looking for "that guy" was not disappointed 🤣
He definitely had a lot of foresight and it must have been awful being that intelligent and seeing the world change that much that quickly in his time. There really is no other period of human advancement that rivals the 20th century and this man lived through over half of it seeing things others couldn't. Tragic in many ways, including how he decided to go about things.
It is literally unbearable. Intelligence is so meaningless in today's age it is frankly astounding. It is often coupled by the lack of drive or ambition for some sick cosmic joke.
His goals are a million times worse than his terrorism.
The worst part about being a *"conspiracy theorist"* is being right over and over again, and the majority of people are still too daft to realise that their whole preconseived notion of the world is entirely an illusion, and false.
Being intelligent sucks, it's not like saying "being rich sucks" because hey, you have a lot of money. Intelligence rarely brings much money, it's a state of mind forced upon you, and some people such as myself just want to be dumb chill people. I'm not the only high IQ person I've known to end up abusing drugs to dumb themselves down or at least turn their brains off for a while. None of us were ever smart enough to have much real foresight into the future, but these days I've been somewhat obsessed with assessing the state of the world and given human history you can kind of see where we're going, society isn't at threat of collapsing, it already is collapsing, but we're too easy and relaxed because we weren't born in an era by people who actually fought for what they believe in, only coerced into a bullshit war. We can't survive in small family tribes and so most are able to push the thoughts away while others develop crippling anxiety and few are left to ponder the consequences and ultimate outcome. There's no solution besides immense violence towards the governments and especially the corporations, but it has to be done by those living in the countries where the governments and corporations reside or else the third world war will break out, it would take the most extreme number of worldwide civil wars in history to break out all at the same time for our problems to be actually fixed (that's not to say things will actually be completely fixed, you always have to be concerned of who takes over what nation and what their plans are), and since that will never happen, we are doomed to die off as a species except for a few which will have to slowly build back from very little, and much like the previous fallen civilizations, we will be rediscovered in the history books. Nobody wants to have kids these days, but the most important thing you can do is have kids and teach them how to live outside of current civilization.
@@alllovelain Intelligent people aren't well suited to modern society, the only freedom we have is the freedom to live a very specific lifestyle and not to question any rules placed on us. You need the ability to not be bothered by idiotic instruction or direction, bend like a reed and go with the flow, even if that directs you off a cliff. I've been called very intelligent by many people throughout life, specifically in engineering, I also have had an issue with drugs because at one stage in life I felt very stuck in a situation I really did not like, and I have never had any real luck in relationships so I just wanted to block it out, I felt stuck. Then I had the government come through (I was working for them) and flip my life upside down, charged and convicted me for firearm related things making me un hireable with the government again and costing me every cent I had in savings. I was very lost for quite a while and to be honest I'm still pulling myself out of it. But I took the opertunity to start my own fabrication and engineering business, I didn't have to worry about been hired, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not going to let the government destroy me because I don't fit the mould, they can suck it, I still owe a lot of money which sucks, but I'll get there, somehow.

@Science Face It's not just that though is it? The old world has to be destroyed along with anyone who would defend it. Ted Kacynzki was an eco terrorist.
Ted is absolutely right about the power process. I was born in an extremely poor farm area in the Caribbean, and I experienced what it was like to live off the land in my early years of life. No electricity, no running water, farm and butcher our food, and giving back what we took. It really conditioned me as young child, when my family and I immigrated to Canada, it was like such a big shock in the face, especially in the 90s.
The most shocking experience with me was that when i first enrolled in school I watched children throw away perfectly good meals that they came from home because of "options". Even as a young child I was so sad, in the Caribbean, I had classmates who had bloated stomaches from emancipation, children eating from the garbage in the extremely hot Sun and trying to steal and horde food to take home to feed their own families.
Due to my experiences, I was never able to fully merge with today societies standard cog. I became a drop out, abused drugs, chasing women, had my run ins with the law, abandoning my family and even almost losing my life in the process. I was just a mess but thankfully I was able to get on track.
The only thing that truly ever healed me, was going back to nature, just having my barefoot on the Earth just grounded me once more. As I slowly became more connected , I became more level headed and had a sense of purpose. I see all my friends, family, loved ones and strange just all caught up in all kinds of ordeals but they never once stopped to just appreciate being here and being in commune with nature.

“The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.”

@Andai I'm from a country that's very conservative. I can only speak to what I know and see here. Part of the reason why the conservative values are so strong is because the technological advancements are mostly for the rich. The rest, we just make do with what we've got.
But with the tech advancements now being more available to everyone, yeah... I can see the decay of traditional values. Because the people are very easily influenced by what they see others do on social media.

Most of society’s problems are easy to see if you look. All “progress” is really just a trade off where other problems are unleashed.
A lot of people in the comments have already summed feelings on Ted better than I ever could, so I'm going to say this:
All the praise of his thought, how accurate his predications were etc. mean nothing if you don't act on it. If you genuinely believe what he wrote then make changes that you believe would benefit you. Become more self dependent, reduce the amount of technology you use- start small and then work your way up. Use the free time you would spend on entertainment to learn and practice new skills (which is a good advice for everyone, it is entertaining and a reward in itself): work on your physique, start a garden, learn bushcraft etc. Reduce your consumption of products you do not need, practice a more minimalist lifestyle. Reduce your dependence on consumerist society by not outsourcing aspects of your life to other people- Do you often eat premade food? Learn to cook. Do you call a repairman every time a plank cracks in your fence? Learn woodworking. In general learn proper maintenance of yourself and your household.
If you genuinely believe what Ted had to say, then many of these things will bring happiness and freedom instead of being a chore.
And it is through individual actions like this that we can hope to make a real change

They weren't random though is the thing
According to Dank', Ted knew what he was doing, knew that casualties would bring eyes to his message. He had to condemn this world, by playing the game of fame - attack this world, to save it. "Acceptable losses" - if not random victims, what then? Administering his own form/view of justice? Nooo, thats what a crazy person would do.
would you even know he existed if he did not do those things tho?

The idea that technology and the industrial revolution are bad is very short sighted IMO. It's like a caveman shaking his fist in the air at the invention of spears for they cause wars. If a being or even a society is too immature to play with their toys properly, then it's not necessarily the toy's fault.
I cried at the story about his wife. The fact that a man willing to die to destroy technology, was forced to use technology to show his love to someone, is truly beautiful and tragically ironic.
He didn't actually hate Technology in general, he hated invasive Orwellian surveillance technology. There's a difference.
@@colliric did you actually read Industrial Society and Its Future? Because when he says technology takes away our freedom, he ain't talking about security cameras.

You're 1000% correct on the double edged nature of these early enrollment programs for kids and young people. Now I'm nowhere near a genius like these prodigies, however I was given the option at 15 to solely attend college courses and I took it. I highly regret it. It was nice for a bit and granted me some bragging rights, but in retrospect I find that choice ultimately pointless and I do feel robbed of a true teenage experience. I was too young to really be embraced by the college kids and had a tenuous relationship with the high schoolers, and I always had my face in a book, so I just missed out and genuinely feel that started me off on the wrong foot with my career ambitions and mental health. I really can't say those 3 years did anything positive for me in the long run.

Ted getting MK-Ultra'd at 16 is a part that always gets dismissed and glazed over pretty hard in all the documentaries. I imagine giving a 16 year-old 160+ IQ boy heroic doses of acid and simultaneously testing out mind control conditioning and anti-terror interrogation might have a slight impact. Ted might be the maddest of lads.
Mk Ultra was so much more than just plying people with psychedelics. And from all accounts I've heard, he wasn't part of the psychedelic aspect
People really don't understand how bad it is to mess with your brain chemistry/hormones. I'm not talking about doing a tab at Bonnaroo or some rave. I'm talking about prolonged exposure to reality altering substances. People can become completely schizophrenic off of moderate does of ayahuasca. It's no wonder people think things like Monarch Mind Control exist. Because ever since Josef Mengele information around that stuff is like looking around a house of mirrors.

Being moved away from kids your age is awful. I was in school in the 70’s/80’s and the school put me in advanced studies. I did that for a couple years and they decided to have me skip 7th and 8th grade, throwing me straight into high school. My mom was a POS who saw it as a feather in her cap and shoved me into all of it. That experience was beyond terrifying and I purposely tanked it so I could get out. I just wanted to be with my friends and get away from high school boys being high school boys (I’m female).
Funny thing is that I’m no genius but rather pick up on things quickly and enjoy learning. There’s a HUGE difference. The workload was obscene and they had me in these weird gifted classes that just pummeled me. I did one semester, failed on purpose, and was SO relieved when I got booted.
With a name and hilarious avatar like that, I was sure you were a dude under 30, haha
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 I take that as a compliment! I’m an almost 50yo boring accountant mom, but swear I have the mind of a younger dude. My Lego collection is a good example! 😂
Stefan Molyneux has talked about the unintended consequence of taking children out of one- or two-room schoolhouses and putting them into separate classes that rarely, if ever, interact with children of any other grade level--and especially not kids more than one grade above or below. He talked about his own experience of growing up in a neighborhood of kids of mixed ages and studies that show that that's actually good for kids. For example, when a bunch of kids of different ages get together, the older kids learn to have empathy for the younger ones and hold themselves back in order to make things easy for the young kids so they can have a good time. And older kids act as role models and encourage younger kids to grow up and stop crying or pouting when things don't go their way.
So kids actually learn better social skills when they're exposed to kids both younger and older, not just kids their own age. (The same thing is true with adults; interacting with grandparents or other elderly people is important for children as well.)
The sad thing is if you had been in one of those old-fashioned schoolhouses, you could have studied more advanced subjects while still sitting surrounded by kids your own age and you would have still played with them. (You would have also been around the older kids outside of the classroom, who would have almost certainly have treated you more kindly, having been used to having younger kids around all the time.)
Chalk it up to yet one more thing that was better in the past and has been hurt by centralization and industrialization (in this case, the industrialization of education).
I had a similar experience to yours, as my father and grandfather were obsessed with having a "superkid" and pushed me into gifted studies. Like you, I would never call myself a genius, and find it quite uncomfortable when people tell me I'm smart.
Out of extreme boredom and a desire to escape the gifted program, I unwisely quit hs in 10th grade and took my GED. This led to me starting college at 16 which was a terrible experience. Long story short, I became socially isolated and miserable. I wound up getting pregnant and became a mom at 17. Having my daughter is what saved me from total nihilism.
I am thankful for my ability to learn quickly, as I've never had to struggle with studies or work. At 35, I moved to another country, became fluent in their language, and completed 3 years of university studies here. Having said that, being a mother to my 3 children is the only thing that has given me a sense of calling and fulfillment. Had I simply tried to live a life of studies and work, (making the big bucks, as my dad always dreamed) I'd have probably offed myself decades ago.

it's so bizarrely wholesome and poetic that ted, who hates technology with the deepest of passions, used a synthesizer to compose a song for his love to listen to in her dying moments, using headphones.
The issue is not exactly technology, I mean technology existed for all of human history, the issue is the industrial revolution, and how it greatly affected the human race, which did not prepare for it so well.
He believed that some technology was okay to use. He outlined in his writings which types were and weren't. Even if they contradicted a lot of the time.
I read the manifesto, he hated technology because he thought humans with technology were like alcoholics with a barrels of wine, I.E they would overdo it and cause alot of problems for themselves and everyone around them.

I’ve read Industrial Society and it’s Consequences and I must say it definitely wasn’t what I expected. It’s incredibly well written, definitely not the ravings of an insane man as the media would have you believe. Dank is absolutely right most of the book is absolutely based. Everything from his critique of leftists and conservatives, to the analysis of the continually sprawling issues that come with the increase of technology is such a breath of fresh air in our stagnant society.
It’s a sad catch-22 that the only reason that I, and many others, are aware of the manifesto is due to the evil actions of Ted (and also due to the internet which is the very definition of irony). Obviously his methodology was a massive issue, but I think you can separate the criminal from his belief system.
I think in a way, that's what Ted wanted.
If he hadn't done what he did, nobody would have ever even known about his manifesto.
Nobody would have read it at all.
I somewhat disagree. Many passages in the book go like this;
[Make a statement about technology bad,] [make another statement clarifying that it's not always bad,] [make statement suggesting statement 1 overrides statement 2]
And don't get me wrong, I understood it, and in reading of philosophers like Alasdair MacIntyre and Oswald Spengler I'm not ashamed to say that technology is basically dampening to the soul past a qualitative point. But Ted barely went into precise detail about the above structure. His "power process" is absent of any metaphysical grounding, and didn't he use shelter for his hut?
His clothes and hut were still forms of technology, and by omission of his own life leading, were apart of the primitive philosophy. It's not clear that suffering for worse than better; would dissipate upon returning to his utopian vision, it's also not clear where the line to be drawn is with technology as stated above because Ted certainly used some of it authentically.
@@NetworkSneed You haven't read his other stuff have you?
@@NetworkSneed I mean you can totally disagree with the writing, but dissecting it and proposing that it was “primitive” is laughable.
Ted made really interesting points on the dystopian nature of technology and its use of power harnessed by the government and big corporations. Ultimately the point of the manifesto was to “red pill” the general public and make us more aware of the consequences of our actions.
To deduct that he didn’t define technology is also COMICAL, like hello mr.literal can you not use context clues and references he made throughout the essay?
