  Fun fact: in later years when he was in prison, when he filled out paperwork he listed his murder charges as professional achievements/certifications alongside his profession as inmate.

  I’ll remember this next time some hack conspiracy theorist claims that academics try to suppress them. Ol’ Ted tried to blow up universities and he’s still getting cited. Science doesn’t hold grudges lol

  I’ve been told that Kaczynski’s manifesto is compelling and some of his ideas about the danger in technology makes more sense now than when he was captured. I’m kinda scared to read it.

    It reads to me as a record of a very intelligent person having a total mental breakdown (likely as a result of being drugged and tortured by the CIA as part of MKULTRA). It contains some cogent points about capitalist alienation resulting from the industrial revolution (without identifying it as such), but is also full of homophobic, reactionary, and ecofascist rhetoric. It also completely falls flat with the conclusion being that the only way forward is a complete rejection of technology and modernity, without presenting a compelling alternative.

    Yeah he makes some solid points, it’s worth a read. The bomb stuff was just a ploy to get it published, it’s not like reading it is going to turn you into a bomber.

    You should read it. It’s short, and easily available. I read it just before the Covid lockdown, and I’m so thankful.

    He later walked back his response (blowing people up) and advocated for people to heavily educate themselves on technology so they could guide it and combat it.

    That said, it’s hard to disagree with most things he wrote in his manifesto.

    Half of it is just him whining about leftists ruining everything

    Kinda looking like the Unabomber was on the right track all along.

    • Phineaz@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The Unabomber also killed and maimed people at random. So yeah, no.

    Turns out genius mathematicians, just like average people, go a little crazy when you subject them to a shitload of LSD and torture. Who would have guessed.

      Apparently, not the CIA in 1953 to 1973

      Not only genius mathematicians, we have good examples of genius biologist with Kary Mullis. Though to be fair I’d much rather live in the same city of Kary Mullis, I’d probably enjoy a beer with the guy every once in a while.

  “Better known for other works” can be said about Einstein’s Nobel Prize as well
