Anyone ever read Ted Kaczynski's "Manifesto"?

I bought one for a coffee table book, but haven’t read the entire thing.

Never read it.. but I send copies to people I haven’t seen in a while every Christmas. They never call to thank me.

I read enough to understand that while very smart he has little to no hope or faith in humanity. Not much love in his heart, if any. Sad really. He should ask Jesus to bail him out, but in his case of strong and rational disbelief such is not an option. Or as William James eloquently states it “an open proposition “.

A few times. I can’t find too much to argue with. The dude could have probably done some good if he wasn’t bat shite crazy.
He was part of some messed up experiments while in college.

I disagree with him about the Industrial Revolution. I like indoor plumbing and electricity.

I did just receive "Permanent Record" by Edward Snowden and baws, they have us by the short hairs for there is no such thing as privacy anymore.

I don't agree with him blowing up people, but nearly everything he said was spot on.

I think Jesus already bailed him out of this life.

Not fully just excepts. It was just railing on the rise of a technological society and the oligarchy.

Yeah its well-documented that the CIA experimented on him with MK Ultra. Another example of unintended consequences on our society by the Military Industrial/Secret Iintelligence Complex

My wife and I have a cabin in Idaho.
My wife was the first person to move into Edward Snowden's old office in the Garden Plaza in Honolulu after the feds released the space for new tenants and we had to live there for awhile for the railroad being built at the time.
We're obviously living in a simulation but Kaczynskis never mentioned that fact in his manifesto ... which was either a blind ommission or purposely done. Either way it's weird that he did not.

Maybe it's the packaging...

A friend of mine was one of the U.S Marshalls assigned to transfer him back and forth from his cell to the courthouse during his trial in California. He said he was one of 5 people authorized to speak with Kaczynski. I’m not in contact with my friend anymore, and I regret not asking him more about it.

Yes.
He was very intelligent, but clearly incapable of living in society....which is what led to his destructive and wholly irrational actions. That said, his evaluation/description of leftism and leftist could be one of the most accurate I've ever read.

Who created the "simulation"?

Related note. I talked to John Hauser ant Peaberry coffee in Boulder and observed his mangled hand a dozen times before I realized he was a Unabomber victim. He went from being a fighter pilot to being grounded just by opening a package.
Never forget that TK was a TRUE psychopath. He put a bomb on a passenger plane and it lacked sufficient force to blow the plane out of the sky. If he could push a button and kill 3 billion, he would. I mean he literally would.
He was prescient about technology. He is also a truly evil man .
