Comment on The unAbomber. Otherwise, I agree.

Might be a matter of taste, but ISAIF is worth a read on the basis of its wild mix of sociological brilliance and unhingedness IMO. That’s not to say I endorse blowing people up in the slightest, but the work stands taller than the sum of its influences.

E.g. I think he synthesized and added to quite a few different authors in presenting his concept of oversocialization. (Please do correct me if I’m off-base — I love philosophy but it’s not my main wheelhouse).

    You enjoy doing extra work? Why not explain the gibberish acronym in the first comment?

    As a person of average intelligence, I knew exactly what the acronym was. Not sure the issue here.
