there is no irreversible way to stop technology
even after nuclear holocaust, those who innovate with technology will out-survive those who don't
why did ted think sending mail bombs would be good enough of a solution? he shoulda thought bigger.

You know I think it genuinely is a shame he did that. Not because "le killing people is wrong ):" but because frankly with how smart that man was if he had decided to try to make some actually change In The world, by getting involved in politics, or releasing books, he probably could have.
Instead he lashed out in an emotional outburst of violence in a way that is honestly very immature.

What if at some point a technology comes around that consumes its creators? Like porn turning people into useless coomers or ai markets turning everyone into chattle consumers. Even a slave with a machine gun is still a slave. Especially if they are too mindnumbed to learn how to use it.
But I suppose people can always adapt, and that just kicks the ball down the road.
Also teds mail bombs got him noticed, thats what they were for and now his writings are relatively widely known

Well, basically, because he was a psychopathic retard.
He was teaching at the University of Michigan and then Berkeley University.
He was on a tenure track. If he just held out for a few more years, he could've kept his teaching job, published all his radical bullshit articles, and never would've had to worry about getting fired.

Ted was a confirmed MKultra victim, the CIA messed with his mind. LSD makes you smarter but it also makes you a little crazy for a while, probably a lot crazy if the govt is experimenting on you. His failure wasn't his fault, his faculties were compromised by the govt.

This.
The Borg destroys those who might oppose it.
See Bradley Manning who they castrated, mind wiped then released to post MLP on Twitter.

Not true at all, this is just a retarded myth that gets pushed around because it seems juicy. You can literally read the transcripts from the college psychology experiments he was involved in and they are so tame: https://www.mediadisinfo.com/2021/03/ted-kaczynski-mk-ultra-myth.html

He did change the world by releasing books, check out Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How. He did much more through his bombing campaign than he could have as a mathematics professor
>>21517162
He was suicidal at the time because of how dissatisfied with his life and chose to live in the wilderness because that made him feel fulfilled. His "radical bs articles" would have only been read by a few colleagues rather than millions of people had they been published in some academic journals rather than the NYT

It's tragic that in the end what doomed him was his connection to his mother and the woman which he hated who married his brother.
And to be fair from the documentary she did seem kind of annoying and stuck up, the bully wife who bosses David around, but that's just the brief impression I got.
But I digress, I do wonder how long would it take for the FBI to find Ted, and how things would've turned out, was Linda out of the picture

You're wrong u cannot change the system from within. David foster wallace tried. Ever read Oblivion? It is one of the most subversive radical texts ever published post 1980. And yet despite his fame and popularity, things got worse not better. I believe the realisation of this futility was a principle cause of his suicide.

He should have put his faith in God. The apparatus Kaczynski fears, the infernal working of the modern world, is beyond the hope of any mere mortal to combat. You have two options in the face of this. You can despair and lapse into ruin. Or you can look for help beyond the scope of the world.

You should realize he originally send those bombs because he wanted to kill people cuz he was angry (he admit it in his journals) his anti-tech revolution idea came after 5th bombing and even then he didnt believe it would change anything(also admitted in journal) he just wanted personal revenge againts system

He’s right tho, if there was a massive revolution that destroyed all tech, humanity would never again have a Industrial Revolution
That was only possible with easyly accessible resources either on or very near the surface, that’s gone now, you won’t be building oil rigs out of wood and copper

1. the bombs were to draw attention to his thought, it worked, you are proof of it, and much of other anti-tech writers partly owe their popularity to him whether they like it or not
though he should've bombed filthier/untouchable groups like journalists

2. it's called "industrial revolution and its consequences" not "technology and its consequences", Ted's main concern was industrial civilization aka large organization dependent technology
one could make the argument coming from various directions that the current civilization, being both dysgenic but also sustaining through the ever more costly extraction of ever scarcer resources, is heading towards a realistic unrecoverable crash unless it manages to readjust itself within the medium future
I don't se 80IQ hordes of Bantus restarting industrial civilization after a significant halt and a century of entropy
