  His conclusions were incredibly prescient. With each year they seem truer.

    He was an angry, murderous misanthrope who used that philosophy to justify his irrational feelings and ultimately actions.

    No, I don’t think humanity was better off pre-industry, in the era of lordship and peasantry, at best. If you have a problem with your car, you fix the problem, you don’t throw your arms up and say “cars are a disaster and should have never been invented!”

      Okay okay, I get it, however that won’t stop me from saying that cars are a disaster and should have never been invented.

    Only dumb firstworlders who haven’t seen struggle not even from afar, or people tortured by the CIA could believe that the pre Industrial era was better lol, people plainly lived shorter, worse, lives with more painful deaths.

  I fail to see how sending package bombs to some Professors and grad students, a computer store owner, was “fighting modern technology”.

  Did this ‘genius’ think some bombs would force people to stop thinking?

    He wrote a rather infamous screed on the topic. The thing with the bombs was to force the newspapers to publish it.

      Still though, dude had all kinds of valid targets, and went with …those people…? Just odd.
