In her lab notes she said that this interesting little factor might prove to be problematic for future industrialized civilizations. The Real interesting thing here is that it (she) had to wait till after the war before it was peer reviewed. Then when the boys that did so (the review) ( in those days women were supposed to attend their knitting and stay out this type of thing) figured out that she was correct and then proceeded to claim the work for their own. I figured it out by myself in 1966 when I took bio 101. When we grew cultures. When one thinks about it we are just living in a giant petri dish, it is just a matter of scale. Stand by folks you have not seen anything yet! This problem was not addressed because it would cost somebody too much money to adopt zero sum industrial practices. It has always been the profit for those at the top over the cost of lives for those at the bottom.

Sad to know that his claims of technology destroying humanity is truly happening realistically today. Everyone is suffering from the bad effects of technology today 😢

how am I suffering?

He wasn't like that until MK Ultra destroyed him.

Rest in peace, Ted Kaczynski. While I may not agree with your methods, your hope for a better humanity, a cleaner and freer world and your intellectual contributions mark you out as a figure, in my mind, whose writings match the impact of Adam Smith or Karl Marx. We hope for a happier life and a better future for what you sacrificed.

Even though he could be considered “impactful” in the morally neutral sense that Marx, Stalin, Mao were, they were responsible for spawning and carrying out more human misery and death that anyone else I can think of. Impactful indeed.

What he did is horrible and I feel so bad for the victims and there loved ones, but I kind of understand the guy. It’s a shame it put his wonderful iq to such a sorry cause.

Wow, that is an eerie coincidence. However, it was lucky the Unabomber didn't go quiet for too long. Just imagine the absolute carnage he could have caused if he'd saved up all his inner fury and a large pile of pipe bombs until the time Amazon internet sales became popular. Most people were buying things from Amazon about 10 years ago. No one would've had reason to mistrust an 'Amazon-style' package. It would make a very good disguise. It may be confusing to receive a package if you hadn't ordered anything, but I've twice had orders accidentally repeated on Ebay, so I don't doubt the same thing happens with Amazon occasionally.

I understand why he was offended with the crazy plea. He wasn't crazy, he was pissed off at a world that constantly fucked him over.

[@fathergascoigne6104]

Yeah but normal people don’t do terrorist bombings in retaliation for that

[@El_Pollo_Loco]

Just read his manifesto and you will understand why he was pissed off and actually totally correct about it...

[@mikitz]

The reason why he didn't plea insane was that that way all he had done could've been brushed off as acts of a madman, with no good (or sane) reason behind the bombings. The video didn't tell the whole story, according to which he actually was clinically insane.

One correction: He wasn't an ecologist, who are trained practitioners in a full-fledged division of the biological sciences. He was an "environmentalist," a largely meaningless term.

Kaczynski primary premise in his manifesto was that technology is taking over people's individual lives, in 90's 🤔 I remember thinking at the time he was a madman... I just realized what I have my face glued to... 😳
