Ted Kaczynski grievance thread - since Ted Kaczynski has died, this thread will serve as our grievance to him

Ted Kacyskyi was MK Ultra'd in a program revolving around dosing the students with LSD and emotionally abusing them one at a time round-robin. He was also in extremely close proximity to John Money, the quack doctor who was responsible for falsifying medical literature to shoehorn gender identity into biological medical literature. It was a rough life, and all he really wanted to do was live in the woods as a forest hermit, and he couldn't even do that cause corporations kept pushing into the peripheries of his territory.

This is sad for several reasons. Not only his death, but also the waste that was his imprisonment, what could've been, what he could've done with his genius if he had been free. If he hadn't been betrayed to the feds by his own brother.
I don't know how he lived his imprisonment but I hope that it wasn't too hard.

“… suppose a forested region is occupied by a number of small, rival kingdoms. Those kingdoms that clear the most land for agricultural use can plant more crops and therefore can support a larger population than other kingdoms. This gives them a military advantage over their rivals. If any kingdom restrains itself from excessive forest-clearance out of concern for the long-term consequences, then that kingdom places itself at a military disadvantage and is eliminated by the more powerful kingdoms. Thus the region comes to be dominated by kingdoms that cut down their forests recklessly. The resulting deforestation leads eventually to ecological disaster and therefore to the collapse of all the kingdoms. Here a trait that is advantageous or even indispensable for a kingdom's short-term survival—recklessness in cutting trees—leads in the long term to the demise of the same kingdom.”

“With several self-prop systems of global reach, armed with the colossal might of modern technology and competing for immediate power while exercising no restraint from concern for long-term consequences, it is extremely difficult to imagine that conditions on this planet will not be pushed far outside all earlier limits and batted around so erratically that for any of the Earth's more complex self-prop systems, including complex biological organisms, the chances of survival will approach zero.”

Ted's PhD thesis is available on Wikisource. I believe that part of why he didn't become a mathematician was that although he outsmarted everybody working on the problem there by producing a perfect version (with an "if and only if" equivalence between two notions) the wider mathematical community didn't give a shit because it was both an old-fashioned area of mathematics, and one that was very hard to understand. So he expended a lot of effort to do something that almost nobody else in the world could do, but nobody appreciated it, even the people who are supposed to (academic pure mathematicians).
 
It was on my bucket list to some day get him out of prison and bring him back into the wild. It wouldn't have been worth it and was very likely not going to work anyway, but an ambition like that is one of those “Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" kind of things, y'know?
 
This is kind of fucking me up. Just the other day, I started composing a letter to Ted. I swear to god. Wrote a few short paragraphs about the WEF, recent developments in AI and synthetic biology, and what the technocrats were planning.

Partway through, I couldn't shake this weird feeling. I thought, he's gonna pass away of old age right before I finish writing this. Sure enough. What the actual fuck.

Maybe it's for the best that he didn't read what I planned on writing. It wouldn't have been a letter that I would have wanted to receive on my deathbed, if I were him. Let the man rest easy, I say.

I've been meaning to write to him for years, but always chickened out because any contact with him puts you on glowie surveillance probably for life.

Whatever I could have said would have been absolutely midwit tier anyway so he didn't miss much.
 
Seeing all this Ted Kaczynski worship tells me that someone needs to inject some truth here.

Ted Kaczynski was a nutjob that inured and killed innocent people basically for nothing. With that out of the way lets go over some details.

I read some of his manifesto back in the late 2000's. Probably long before some people posting in this thread read it. He made some good points but a broken clock is right twice a day. It was basically a bunch of armchair psychology crap mixed with some captain obvious points. When it wasn't that it was the ramblings of a mentally ill man. That's because Kaczynski was a diagnosed schizophrenic. Apparently a paranoid schizo. I read most of it and I didn't find it to be that profound. Yes, technology has progressed and it's having an impact on the world negative or positive. Like I said, captain obvious tier stuff. But that has always happened. Technology progresses and it changes the world. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it isn't. It also varies on the perspective of the people being impacted by the technology and change it causes.

So what did Ted Kaczynski do? Starting in the late 70's he was mailing bombs to people. He either delivered them himself or through the postal service. His early bombs were built in wooden boxes that weren't strong enough to contain the explosion long enough for it to build up enough pressure inside the box to cause any serious damage. So his early bombs didn't do much. By that I mean they didn't kill anyone at least not right away. I think I read online that one of the early victims had a few fingers blown off. That's still a horrible thing to have happen. From 1978 to 1995 he managed to kill 3 people and seriously injure 23 more. Most of these people were just nobodies. They didn't have any real power or the ability to make any real decisions. He was basically injuring and killing innocent people from what I read about years ago. Instead of targeting the people that were actually making decisions that would impact society and the world he went after regular people.

Now what was Kaczynski's motivation for all of this? What set him off? He was living in the woods in a cabin. Some crews started cutting the trees down in the area around his cabin and this made him angry. He was basically a crazy tree hugging nut job. So after this started happening he did some of his earliest bombing campaigns. All because people were ruining the view around his cabin. Innocent people had to get injured and killed because Ted didn't want the view around his cabin ruined. I know, this sounds like behavior of a man that is clearly mentally well. No, it isn't. Ted Kaczynski was an unhinged schizo that killed and injured people for no reason other than he didn't like people cutting the trees down around his cabin. The manifesto was just the ramblings of mentally unhinged man that was pissed off because trees in the area of his cabin were being cutdown. It wasn't for any other reason. Kaczynski decided the best way to deal with it was to kill and murder people. Just imagine of some rich fag moved into the middle of nowhere with a forest surrounding his house and some company started cutting down the trees for whatever reason and the rich fag starts sending rando's bombs. When you strip away all the pretentious bullshit surround Kaczynski and his manifesto this is what you're left with. A mentally unhinged man who was angry because the view around his cabin was being ruined.

Ted Kaczynski really shouldn't be looked up to or considered a hero. He didn't do anything to deserve it. All he did was injure and kill innocent people.

even if he was a schizo (there has been no evidence), Anti-Tech Revolution is fantastic at laying out axiomatic arguments against economic control and how economies are shortsighted

but ISAIF was completely stupid, his actions were impulsive, and he still labelled his genuinely helpful literature “anti-tech”

Or imagine if he had been an arab named Teddullah bin Kaczsyskaidi and wrote his works in Arabic and still mailed bombs to people like a lunatic. The exact same behavior but as a brown person. He'd be taken totally differently, especially around here.
 
Ted Kacyskyi was MK Ultra'd in a program revolving around dosing the students with LSD and emotionally abusing them one at a time round-robin. He was also in extremely close proximity to John Money, the quack doctor who was responsible for falsifying medical literature to shoehorn gender identity into biological medical literature. It was a rough life, and all he really wanted to do was live in the woods as a forest hermit, and he couldn't even do that cause corporations kept pushing into the peripheries of his territory.

If they didn't MKULTRA him he'd just be some innawoods guy writing books or something.
