From his Wikipedia page
In 2012, Kaczynski responded to the Harvard Alumni Association’s directory inquiry for the fiftieth reunion of the class of 1962; he listed his occupation as “prisoner” and eight life sentences as “awards”.

He did a bunch of math and some other stuff.

I loved him and Jenna Fischer on the office. Their relationship really blew up!

We had to read his manifesto for a polisci class.
Uncomfortably prescient in many ways, esp. related to technology… But also still full of wingnut BS about other stuff. Worth a read, though, if you’re bored

He continued writing and publishing until at least as recently as the second edition of Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How in 2020, believe it or not. His books have actually received some positive academic reviews. I haven’t read them, but I’ve read the reviews.

I’ve read most of his collections of letters and books and they are decent. I don’t like the ways he critiques leftism (but hey I’m a leftist so that’s to be expected). Apart from that, he has some interesting theories.

How does one get access to said manifesto without immediately being put on an FBI watch list?

Bruh you’re probably on a watchlist already for being on lemmy, live a little, google it with your VPN off.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Your on a list for asking that. Hell, you were probably already on a list for using a non-mainstream social media.
There’s a lot of fucking lists, they’re really more for adding on more crimes if you’re ever arrested/charged with something rather than active surveillance if you ask me.

I have conflicting feelings about him, because in many things, I realize today that he was right. More about technologies imho.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The fact that he did wrong things (bombings) doesn’t invalidate the things he was right about.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 months ago
He also didn’t choose particularly good targets to accomplish his goal.

Dude got tired of maths, moved to a cabin in the woods to live by himself. Part of the woods he lived in was destroyed by loggers and road builders. He got mad and started a bombing campaign against people who he views destroy nature.

He also went full reactionary sexist and homophobe. Plus bombed random people like a guy selling computers.
I really dislike the way he’s venerated by some. There are actual revolutionaries with cohesive ideologies that properly critique society and direct anger at systemic problems. This guy was just mad things were changing.
