Thoughts on this guy?

What does /pol think of Ted K and his ideas? Personally, I agree with his thoughts on liberals and conservatives, but anarcho- primitivism seems dumb.

He's right that technology harmed western civ.

He's wrong that it can be stopped.

He was redpilled to such an extent that we normal people will never be able to attain it.

A brilliant mind and it's a shame he got MKUltra'd

It can though

He's 100 percent right

Tech is what made globalism; planes and reliable shipping, and long range communications.

He's right on lefties

He's right. On righties and how they hold on to individual freedom whilst using tech that brings in the brown hordes that vote against individual freedom

how

...

Nice digits.

His thought on cons is that technology and economic growth uber alles undermines traditional values, yet they believe that both these things have no effect on tradition.

>What do you think of Ted K?
I look a awful lot like young Ted which is kind of worrysome.
>What do you think of his ideas?
Not a practical solution to the issues he acknowledges.

I am curious too. Violence is a non- starter.

I did this sketch of him. Think I should mail it to him in prison? I'm pro-technology and anti-murder, but I do think he's fantastic writer and the most lucid and internally consistent of those writing on ecology.

Why do you think he is the most interesting ecology voice?

/sci/ took the blackpill, without the support of another Sup Forumsak he succumbed to insanity

fuck off CIA. sage in all fields

Well, I haven't read many, but I read a few deep ecology and eco-anarchist writers as a poli-sci undergrad. I don't remember the names. He writes for a perspective that takes more into account human drives. He also writes from outside of academia and left-right, whereas most other eco writers are implicitly and somewhat tediously socialist. He is ultimately a poor judge of human nature (owing in part to autism-like damage born of his isolation as an infant due to medial reasons). He approaches the complex systems of society too mathematically and fails to account for the degree to which humans actually can (I believe) shape outcomes.

I find it funny that commies have more acceptance despite murdering many millions of people and constantly trying to destroy society while just inquiring about Ted K gets you put on a watchlist.

*writes from a perspective

Is his book/manifesto worth reading?

He's no dummy

Yeah. But if you're not well-read or emotionally balanced, don't. If you're the type who quickly becomes extreme and "redpilled" on topics, don't. It's a well-written and interesting analysis of important themes. It can help you clarify your own values and expectations regarding technology. The writings themselves don't really mention violence -- it's not a call-to-arms-type thing. It's academic-grade political theory.

he looks kinda like slavoj zizek

Indeed it is

A lot of his psychoanalysis and criticisms of civilization seem accurate. However, anarcho-primitivism seems like it would be almost impossible to achieve, since it would probably require killing off 99.9% of humanity, and even then it would be difficult to prevent another technological rise. The only way I can think of to achieve primitivism that doesn't involve driving humanity extinct is to create an artificial superintelligence that is programmed to prevent civilization from existing.

Transhumanism could also solve a lot of the problems that civilization causes. For combating mental illness, for instance, people could be genetically engineered to be resistant to mental illness.

henry lee lucas was completely framed

he confessed to crimes world governments committed

the logistics make no sense and isn't it strange he was the only person governor Bush pardoned from the death penalty

so... Mass Effect?

Global disaster could set us back

chill out leaf it's a nice thread and he's asking for redpills on a terrorist

The only thing he was wrong about was that we should run around naked in forests like a bunch of assholes. Other than that he was spot on, especially regarding leftists.

It may collapse on its own at some point, there's no hope for a coordinated revolution though.

I read be manifesto printed in the Washington Post back then and found myself agreeing with most of his views. FWIW, he said Mcveigh's bombing was a "bad action" because he targeted innocent people who weren't directly involved with Waco.

WHY CAN'T REDDITORS STOP SHITTING UP MY BOARD

Ted was one my first redpills. I was a leftist activist at one time, and I had a fascination with any ideas that were deemed 'dangerous' by society, so in addition to reading marxist literature, I thought I'd give the Unabomber manifesto a read. At first, I was put off by the way he trashed modern leftism, but around the time Occupy happened, I began to realize his observations were spot on.
And not just on that particular topic, because even the modern right falls into a lot of the same trap- As technology advances, it interrupts the effort-attainment-reward feedback loop that people psychologically need to feel fulfilled.
Lack of meaningful work fucks a person up mentally and often compels them to extremist behavior- an observation made by Eric Hoffer in 'The True Believer'- a big influence on Kaczynski, and another book worth checking out.

Where the hell did he say that?

he didnt, he wanted back to hunter gatherer

>hes lived like this since last century

anarcho primitivism is the ideology for the white man

I feel Ted falls into the same trap as rightist thinkers do. They can diagnose and analyze the ailments and disease really well, but their prescriptions are left much to be desired.

This is the correct understanding of everything. It plays off of Kaczynski.

Kaczynski grew tired early of being a tool.
The mind control/LSD experiment at Harvard set up a time bomb triggering his enlightenment later.
K's extreme sensitivity to de-humanizing processes plus with the inability to escape completely pushed him over the edge from rational negotiation to pure force.
K's intellectual rigidity, which helped him succeed in academia, did him in.
He couldn't relax his anus enough to disassociate himself with the system that nurtured his existence.

he didnt getting MKd he got fucked up from illness at birth

>be me
>sees Uncle Ted thread in the catalog
>immediately enters thread

...

He is 100% right about a lot of things. Shame he didn't grasp how to spread those ideas peacefully and used terrorism in frustration. That's what stupid Muslims do. The solution is meme magic.

...

Ted hates each and every one of you

Truth

I cannot be convinced that this is anything other than torture. Execution is a blessing at this point.

...

Similar story. Huge redpill

The greatest philosopher of our time.

His cabin was about 3 x 3 metres and probably didn't have plumbing. Then again, he liked nature, so he probably misses that. I bet he stares out that little window a lot.

This isn't what Sup Forums cares about but I made a cursory study of his mathematics a while ago.

His serious work had absolutely zero impact. His less serious work is slighty more interesting, and has garnered the one citation by another author.

>but anarcho- primitivism seems dumb

As a personal philosophy, it's awesome. Sometimes the best way to win is to not participate. As a national philosophy, it's a death sentence as are all anarchic ideologies.

He was great at math.

He was mk-ultra'd
Not even a conspiracy, this is a little known fact but isn't contested

Meanwhile, in Nam . . .

Does anyone here have the pictures of the letters he sent his brother after his brother snitched on him to the cops?

Who is Sup Forums's favorite domestic terrorist aside from uncle Ted?
Hardmode: No Breivik or McVeigh

Yup. He was psychologically tortured as a child by a doctor employed by the US military.

That wasn't the Mk-ultra incident although it was said that it changed him
It was in college where he was experimented on

Hot damn.

I read some of what he wrote and actually agree with most of what I read.

source pls

I think of him everytime my sisters mentions black mirror ( netflix show)

Spooky stuff, he also released a new book , for sale on amazon

A terrorist who should lose his -ski for his crimes.

>As a personal philosophy, it's awesome. Sometimes the best way to win is to not participate. As a national philosophy, it's a death sentence as are all anarchic ideologies.
This is why great civilizations create ways for people who "don't want to participate", while still being useful for their nations/communities, see monks. The problem with modern societies is that they don't appreciate this way of life anymore.

His solution was laughably bad, as was his methods to bring it about.

Technology will not be stopped, whether we can subvert the technological process and remain masters of our own ends is an open question.

Decentralization seems like the clear path forward.
