The Unabomber never lived to regret his actions

[SpergioLeonne]

Does anyone actually care if he regretted what he did or not?

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

He made a few good points but his entire "philosophy" can be summed up in one word: cope

Nothing he wrote is particularly interesting or profound, just a bunch of boring, fart-huffing gibberish. He'll be completely forgotten in another 10 years or so and good riddance.

I'm glad he died this year, he was nothing but an irrelevant loser, murderer and a terrorist.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

The problem with this is that we've already enjoy the "forbidden fruits" of a Post-Industrial Revolution, and Ted's dream was we'd return to tradition to families living on farms & depending purely on the sweat of their direct brow. In some fantasy world where we had Emperor Unabomber we'd experience a psychological shock that would utterly devastate the mass population.

The problem with Ted's work and by extension others that they don't have any middle ground about what is "good" and what isn't.

Social media is a plague, but it evolved from the Internet and the communities within, and at its peak the Internet was fantastic.

You can rail on any corporation and what a problem they are to the world, contributing vast amounts of money in public and private to making the world a more terrible place, but I'm not going forget that Netflix, Firefox, Google, and the rest all made great products at one time, and many others treated employees better than anything else in the world.

Modern medicine can be a problem, pushing unneeded and expensive medications on people and doctors, if not getting away with injecting people with under-tested medications that don't work as advertised, but it would be a mistake to say that all modern medicine is a problem, and has saved lives and improved the well-being of others.

In the end, Ted's rants come off like a retard who thinks that communism is the way to go because his wagie job treats/treated him like shit.
