"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable." ~ Ted Kaczynski
When I first saw AOL and all the negative things that came with it, I started to wonder if this guy was perhaps just smart and aware of things others weren't or maybe aware of things that some didn't want others to be aware of.
ChatGPT, make this a rap song... edit: (Verse 1) Yo, imagine a society, let me paint the scene, Where people suffer, trapped in unhappiness, obscene, Then they're handed drugs to cope, a twisted dream, Science fiction? Nah, it's our reality, it seems. In this world, they manipulate our mental state, Creating conditions that breed depression, hate, But instead of finding the cause, they medicate, Antidepressants given, as if it's our fate. (Chorus) Welcome to a world where minds are controlled, Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll, But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold, Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold. (Verse 2) See, they claim it's a solution, a remedy, But it's just a mask, hiding true misery, They'd rather change our minds than fix society, A means to tolerate what's unbearable, silently. They remove the blame, shifting it on our brain, But it's the system that's flawed, driving us insane, We're caught in their game, where nothing will change, Popping pills to survive, it's all so deranged. (Chorus) Welcome to a world where minds are controlled, Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll, But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold, Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold. (Bridge) Break free from the chains, let your voice be heard, Expose the system's lies, let your actions reverberate, We won't be silenced, let truth be the word, It's time to fight the battle, reclaim our fate. (Verse 3) Now the time has come, let's rise up, unite, Illuminate the darkness, bring forth the light, We won't rely on drugs, we'll fight with all our might, To dismantle the system that keeps us trapped in this plight. We'll address the conditions that breed despair, Creating a society that's fair and aware, No more masking the pain, we'll confront and repair, A world that's built on love and compassion, we declare. (Chorus) Welcome to a world where minds are controlled, Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll, But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold, Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold. (Outro) Break the chains, break the chains, Together we'll rise, no more in vain, A society reimagined, where happiness remains, No longer subject to their unhappiness games.
@ynraider no, it doesn't predict WW3. Burning the books is a reference to how the Germans and losing countries had to burn their diaries when they lost the war to cover up the crimes committed by the Allies.
Me too! I had heard of the Unabomber, but I heard one podcaster speak of his manifesto. So, I thought, you know what, I'll listen to his manifesto. Mindblown! I had to keep pausing it to just sit there and thick how accurate he got it!
I make my own furniture from timber. I'm not a master craftsman, but it fills a void. As we create very little in the modern world, making something from scratch, that is far superior to what is available, changes you for the better. I whole heartedly encourage any man or woman to find a friend or associate who has a workshop for blacksmithing or woodwork and ask them to teach you the basics. 99% of them would happily teach, and show you the tricks they have learned. Make a shelf, bar, dinner table, chefs table, workbench, knife, or hammer. It will change your life.
I agree. I think every human should express themselves through some kind artistic expression. I use a camera to express myself. Gives me purpose. Keep making :)

Hes also told me that Ted's conversations with other terrorists are actually very profound.

So Ted was a subject of MKUltra, where they had him and others place their beliefs, aspirations under attack in order to emotionally manipulate and break them. Yet we live in a digital age where suddenly social paradigms, beliefs, and identities are being constantly manipulated seemingly out of the blue through social media.

He died today at 81 in Federal prison. As a university student he submitted to human experiments that amounted to psychologically brutalising torture involving the abuse of technology. One of his bombs was sent to the President of the California Forestry Association, which is striking a blow for the trees in a sense
The experiments did not involve any "abuse of technology" (whatever that means). It involved experimental and brutal interrogation techniques where they would tear apart the subjects world-view. According to some sources who partook in the sessions Ted had already articulated his anti-tech worldview prior to partaking in the experiments. There was no LSD or other substances administered in that particular branch of MK-Ultra. The impact on his later terrorist activities that the branch of MK Ultra Ted was involved in is highly debatable. When Ted himself was questioned about the experience he said "it wasn't so bad". I think the impact of the experiments are often completely overstated when we recount the Unabomber story.
The irony is that people will watch this video, suggested by the algorithm, be like 'yeah he makes a lot of sense' then go on to watch the next algorithmically suggested video on end

I've read his manifesto last week and it has the same effect on me that 1984 - George Orwell did when I was 14yo. It totally blew my mind. I was expecting rumblings from a paranoid man and was surprised with how accurately he predicted the society we live in forty years ahead of his time. Due to the cancel culture, I don't think he has a platform but if even Shamina Begum got a podcast on BBC he should be allowed to express his opinions and points of view.
He could say whatever he wanted in Facebook, Twitter and UA-cam. And of course also reddit and 4chan. Actually I think there are more important manifestos in all those platforms already. Maybe today he would be another crazy dude, one more of the bunch.
That quote about society creating conditions that takes your happiness then bandaiding the problems with drugs hit the hardest because all this left side right side stuff is pointless when the gov doesn’t care about anyway of us and they’ve shown us that for DECADES yet year after year we’re fighting against each other 10x harder.
Taking advantage of class and social/racial differences is straight from the Olde Communist playbook. The Globalist Oligarchs distract us with bullshit while they Problem-Reaction-Solution the people into submission.
I wounder if Ted Kaczynski read Dune? And made him think about the future. In the Neo-Roman Catholic Bible in Dune "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." He should have made a novel and use internment to spread his message. Say what you want to say Ted Kaczynski, and even Frank Herbert were right about to much technology.
"yet year after year we’re fighting against each other". Which likely answers....to a primal human need. Modern society diverts our instincts in weird ways, some "randomly" and instinctive, some obviously channeled on purpose by "elites".
Yes. I’m tired of it, too. Even though I vote liberally, both sides have some good points. I do not like having to choose when I feel there is so much more compromise and coming together we could be doing. Very frustrating and maddening! 🤦🏾♀️💜
"Surrogate Activities to replace meaningful goals". Our whole gaming industry is built upon this thought. I can't fathom how much recently I got addicted to management sims games. One of which was Dave the Diver where I spent two hours finding a fish in a game.
I feel you, spent a lot of time myself on similar stuff. Still find myself doing that. One plus I can say is that it's a good escape to heal mentally. There were times I've had enough of it and picked up creative hobbies. It's very good since I can learn and still enjoy myself.
I do t wanna act like I’m special or anything, but recently games have just been a cause of stress, I realize now that these aren’t goals that bring me happiness but that these games were just objectives and stories that ultimately killed your time. You did nothing but sit and watch pixels move on a screen, I just thought to myself “what am I doing with my life”? And I just couldn’t be engaged with any games since.
For a few months, I also fell into gaming. Binge watching TV, movies, cat videos isn't too helpful, either, though. Thankfully, there are excellent free videos and web sites online teaching science, journalism, engineering, coding/tech, survival skills, cooking, dog training, carpentry, construction, foreign languages - things that are practical and helpful.
The craziest thing about MK-Ultra is the fact that until today only one of the two defined goals of the project is public, the other goal is still redacted but other sources claim it was social control through cybernetics.
I was literally just wondering about this the other day. The government is complicit in his bombings. Had they not experimented on him, perhaps this would have never happened. Charles Manson was also experimented on when he was in prison. It’s crazy they can get away with this. They had a hand in creating these monsters.
Why do you feel the need to say "literally"? If you just said I was just wondering about this the other day", people would take it as literal and not figuratively..
They are not monsters to anybody but the system of the beast. if they were not tortured they would have never been enlightened, it is good, now we have the truth from Theodore, which otherwise we wouldn't have had. So on this part I thank the CIA, going to read this Manifesto soon Godwilling.
the problem Ted faced was most likely a sense of helplessness. an extremely intelligent man who isolated himself for a lot of his life, likely ending up feeling helpless in the face of the titan that was modern culture. in short, when he wanted to get his point across, he felt cornered into doing what he did. I cant say if this is 100% true or not, but thats what i think.

Golden ages are started usually from a era of abundance. It’s not being comfortable that’s the problem it’s the lack of morality in pursuit of endless wealth. During 2001 America was like 90% Christian basically more Christian than modern day Brazil (they live the “hard and honorable” lifestyle you zoomers talk about from the safety of your laptop/phone) anyway the lack of morality has caused the degenerate nature of mankind to take out
@@Dorkeydaze it’s proven morality doesn’t come from religion, and that atheists are just as moral than Christians, except we don’t hate gay people. ( but seriously you need to read the Bible, god does worse shit than anyone on this earth ever has)
@@Dorkeydaze the previous "golden ages" you speak of were localized, meaning the local government had limited control over the demographic. This day in age we have multi national corporations controlling eyeballs of billions of people, along with multi national meetings and "control parties" targeted at manipulating the entire world. Never in history have governments and corporations been so powerful, and THAT is what is scary about this.
@@Dorkeydaze I dont think everyone converting to Christianity is gonna solve our problems. The Romans did that and their empire collapsed soon after. However I agree that morality is definitely been pushed to the back behind chasing wealth, lavish lifestyles, and materialism. But I believe the culture shifted this way when Hollywood, the media, and now social media all began shoving in the public's face what they define as a life a worth living/chasing. and so people focus on working hard, and forgetting about family, and forget about morality, and being kind, and having relationships with people. And technology is rapidly atomizing/dividing everyone into empty shells of humans whose only way to feel better is to consume, hence the optimal consumer
Ted talking about anti depressants seriously rings true in my eyes, in ten years I’ve been prescribed 8 different SSRI style antidepressants and not a single one has helped my depression because the way I see it I’m not depressed internally I’m depressed because of what I see and experience every day externally, I can see that life as we know it, right now, is barely liveable. struggling to make ends meet in a minimum wage job whilst watching everything get more and more expensive, as the world is slowly being destroyed by CEO’s and fossil fuel execs with more money than they can spend in ten lifetimes and as corporations are destroying nature just to make a buck off the back of their workers depresses me to the core. I feel like I’m watching the world crumble around me and there is literally nothing I can do to stop it and saying that out loud to a any kind of medical professional tends to just get you moved from one pill to another and makes zero difference to the kind of life I live. it’s frustrating and genuinely saddening on a deep level that I can barely explain to most people. I just hope that by the time the world finally collapses in on its self I’m not around to witness it.
My man,....telling any of that to a healthcare professional is the definition of irony. I hear you, completely. Those doctors are paid kickbacks by big pharma reps to push their specific pills, and are just another cog in the machine you're talking about. But let me tell you, it's not totally hopeless. You just have to vote, and get everyone you know to vote too, but not just at the election polls. You have to vote with your dollars, since that's all they pay attention to. Investigate your products, and only buy things you actually need, and for the rest, find the most non-asshole company to buy them from. Don't use Amazon.

The way he says people living under totalitarian monarchies had more freedom than people of the modern world is so true. What makes it even more poignant is the fact that most people are either too ignorant to realize this truth; or too afraid to admit it.
The enlightenment was a bad thing for freedom. People will eventually revolt against a totalitarian king, but they are much less likely to revolt against totalitarianism that they voted for.

Easily the best essay I've seen on the unibomber. I grew up in a remote river valley in the 70s, with nearly nobody around, and today I live in a major metro area. I know without a doubt that Ted was correct about everything in his manifesto.
I grew up in the Bay Area of CA in the 70’s. It was mostly farmland before it started turning into malls, shopping centers, and Silicon Valley. My childhood was nostalgic. Hardly any day went by where I wasn’t happy. Once I finished high school, I went to college in Northern CA in a small town called Rohnert Park. Mostly farmland, but a modern town as well. My stress levels went way down despite studying. Came back in the early 2000’s to the Bay Area and right away my stress levels went up threefold.
John Zerzan has been writing very similar stuff, even stuff that goes way beyond Kaczynski, for decades. Since the internet, he has become more well known, doing speaking tours, online discussions, and the occasional debate. Many of both can be found online.
I fully agree with but a sincere question. What is the answer? Rural, nature integrated communities? But then what about jobs? Also basic running water, sewer system and electricity are needed, aren't they? Every other aspect of modernity can go. You moved from rural to big urban area because of economic reasons right?
@@simplehealthyliving4681 Partly economic, partly ego. I wanted to see how far I could go in life. But I'm 50 years old, and I no longer have the drive and ambition of my 20-year-old self that left the country with knapsack on a stick and dollar signs in his eyes. Today, I would say that happiness comes from community as goofy as that sounds. It really does. Money is important to the degree that you feel secure, but beyond that amount it is not worth chasing. Jobs are a means to an end, nothing more than that. A career is overrated and will mean little after you're gone. But if I told that to my 20-year-old self he'd have rolled his eyes, hugged me goodbye and driven off to New York City with all his worldly possessions in a Saturn SC2 coupe. Which is what he did. Poetry aside, you asked a legit question. I never figured things out, but my parents did before I was born. They're smarter than me. They bought a plot of land that cost very little and paid it off over 30 years. We had a well. When it went dry, we built a cistern and paid for water deliveries. Not ideal, but not that expensive. A few hundred dollars got us through the year. We dug our own sceptic tank and leech lines. No regulations out in the country! It works to this day. Over time, we added solar panels that almost cover the electric expenses, water purification machinery as the water quality got a little more questionable, finally the great moment in 2021... we got SpaceX's satellite internet. It works as well as comcast cable and is a true game changer for those that can pay its $140/month bill. When you consider that most food can be grown or bartered for, that there's almost no entertainment budget (not that you're ever bored, there's just no need for money to have fun), and so on, you really don't spend much money year to year. You can get by and be very happy with little money. Problem is - there's not enough land for most people to live like that. Fortunately, most don't seem to want to. They've bought in to the lie that money is everything.
I’m afraid to suggest his book to the people I know. His book changed my entire outlook on *everything* His methods were awful, but his message is epiphanic. Really hard to have an optimistic outlook since then but I try my best because there’s very little I can do to change where we are headed as a society.
Think this is more telling on what you, personally thought before, not what the other people you may suggest reading it will think, a lot of our "lack of freedom" is self inflicted, and some feel trapped in their life... Some do not.
What's interesting is how he says he knows what he's doing is terrible and awful but his message wouldn't reach as many people if he didn't do what he did. He's incredibly insightful
Not much to wonder about. He went through extreme experiments very, very, VERY few people could even imagine. Everybody begins as a innocent child... experiences make into who they are.
@@sadiegin9921 bigtime. It's not that the experiments made him do it.... The experiments made him see that not stopping the plans of evil men would be the end of mankind.
Those experiments were done TO have him commit those crimes. Welcome to mkultra. Where do you think all these random shooters come from. As crazy as it sounds there are documentary on this.
I remember watching a video about another mathematics prodigy. He was Russian and after working at a university somewhere in California for a couple of years he became extremely antisocial and decided to live in the woods instead. The fact that this is a fairly common pattern among highly intelligent people, developing a disdain for the world, it does make you think what an independent AI would ‘feel’ and possibly do to humanity.
No matter how intelligent an AI becomes, what can it do without any limbs? Imagine a box sitting there equipped with an AI that has proven itself to have actual intelligence in every conceivable test we try to run on it...but it's just a box bolted to the ground? Therefore, it is my OWN belief that, if malicious AI somehow does become a threat, it will be through deliberate action on our part in building, engineering and equipping them with human like bodies

It’s funny how people can’t even explain what he did, or discredit him, without under the same breath falling victim to exactly what he was worried about.
'Imagine a society that broke your spirit, then gave you drugs to deal' I know it's poor paraphrasing but it's quite reminiscent of Orwell's "imagine a boot on the face of a man.... forever" I like MOON - he's padding to our crutches, he's good at it.
The important thing to know is Ted didn’t lose. Not that he wanted to be caught but his primary goals were to get his manifesto out into the world and to continue to learn and develop his ideas. He’s been able to do all this from prison. The warden has gone on record to say that prison hasn’t really bothered him at all, the only thing that ever hurt him was when his defense team tried to “discredit him” (his words) by using the insanity defense.
@@HappyMomma412 It’s very interesting. He’s actually released a ton of work while in Supermax, and is an anomaly of a person. Solitary confinement not only doesn’t throw him off baseline, he thrives in it. Truly just a different kind of human being altogether.
they call him crazy, a killer, a menace, but they will never be able to say he was wrong, really sad that the only way he saw of making his works seen were by the extreme actions he took
You know you are dealing with a tyrant when first they seem to be telling you how to think, but it becomes clear that they are telling you what you think.
Ted's world views have been largely cast aside by society as the ramblings of a man who's gone mad, when in reality taking a little time to read his main points and then reflect on how society coincides with them you start to realize why he went mad in the first place. Albeit he was a very troubled man with evil fantasies, nonetheless an exceptionally intelligent and wise man.
I think the "evil" fantasies, you say, is very debatable subject matter. So many examples we could compare and contrast. I think Ted probably had a good sense of good and evil,, probably examined the philosophical quandary of these powers, quite thoroughly, in his head, and came to a conclusion, that there would be others who must die, suffer, along with himself, for the prevailing message to be driven home and understood. No doubt Ted knew trying to get through to human consciousness, would be a hit or miss gamble, as it always is. it is all very perplexing.
@@davem5308I understand what you mean but I'll hold my comments so as to not be misinterpreted or risk breaching ToS with such a sensitive topic, lifeboat ethics needs to be discussed more by the mainstream 🙂
David hated doing what he did. He had a really hard time with it. It was mainly his wife, Linda, who insisted they go to authorities. David was ready to say, "nah, it can't be him," and do nothing, but Linda kept after him, because she had no love for Ted at all and knew he was very unwell. It really destroyed their relationship as brothers, and David's heart was broken into a million pieces. He wrote a fantastic memoir titled "Every Last Tie". It had me crying a lot. Ted never spoke to David again.
What Ted warns us about is much more dangerous than the killings he did. He was trying to prevent an existential crisis and mass abuse, anyone can look at our situation today and see that he was not wrong. While I don't usually accept the killing of anyone it feels like in this case it was somewhat worth it to spread the message, too bad it did not ring loud enough in people's heads. This reminds me of the problem of the train tracks with 1 person and the ones parallel to those with 5 people, no matter where you chose to make the train go you will make someone die, looks like in Ted's case he chose to try and save humanity at the cost of few lifes. The oversocialized human is also something obvious and worrying, it just takes one to look and compare older generations to new ones
But by killing innocent people he now know as a crazy person and therefore never be taken seriously. Even if what he predicted is becoming more and more eerily accurate year after year.
@@Nothingmore146 said exactly what was in my mind. For a long time I took him for a madman until I read his manifesto. It only rings true to those who truly can recognize where we are as a society.

I took inspiration from Ted and looked up to him (except for the murderous part) when I was younger and am too planning on disappearing off of the face of the earth and moving into a small remote selfmade cabin when I finish building it.

His point about overpopulated urban centers is interesting, it doesn't seem like he is saying there is too many people on earth, rather there are too many people in the same places. Like the idea of a big city isn't the problem, it's the amount of people in that big city that is the issue. For nearly all of human history, a "big city" was 100,000 people spread over a large area. Ancient Rome (the city) had up to 1 million people. Back then, that was a mega city metropolis. Nowadays, that's barely a "big" city in most developed nations. The Roman empire itself had between 70-90 million people, nowadays all over Asia there are mega population centers like the Kanto prefecture (where Tokyo is) that holds almost 40 million people. I have always been drawn to rural towns and small towns. Give me a home in the mountains thats less than 30 minutes drive to a small town of 30,000 with grocery stores, takeout food, gasoline, and a hospital. That's the ideal way for humans to live. Nearby to one another, but not packed into a small space like sardines.
Idk I like living in Urban areas. Coming home from school just looking across the city. Going all over the city for different things, ending up in random places. What you are talking about with these small cities only really works in places like europe. In Australia, there is very little space for these small towns you speak of because there is a large desert. Also, you reference Tokyo, which if you look at the Island of Japan, there is very little space there as well. Cities are created out of necessity and there clearly are enough people who want to live in these spaces to allow accommodation of millions. You may believe that this is a better way to live, however there are many people who would prefer to live in a big city because unlike a small town, there are more things to accomodate your needs and interests. Also, I am very interested in skyscrapers and stuff so living in a big city is kinda cool. If we all returned to these small towns, it would be inefficient to transport things and there would be very little to do. What works for you doesn't work for everyone and your proposed idea I believe cannot work in advanced modern societies such as in South Korea, China or Japan with huge populations, massive megacities and some of the most efficient economies in the world
As someone who grew up in town of 30 000 I have always wanted to escape it. The suffocating feeling of small town community is still horrible now that I'm in my 40ys. Society's pressure to conform is way way stronger there. Once you become somewhat aware of yourself and surrounding world you suddenly see the plan for your entire life laid before you. And no deviation is accepted. And at most steps of your life you see people that perfectly represent what you would be at those stages, and they are not exactly happy. What exactly is so enticing lookin at those small towns? It's certainly not common since opportunities to move that way are far from rare, but not many people take them.
Lmfao you're joking. Amsterdam (a big city, literally the capital city of netherlands) has a population of 800,000. I think you're exaggerating a bit. Also i live in a town with a population of about 100k and it sucks to high hell dude.
Its never supposed to have been about numbers or space, but quality of ourselves. What is evolution of our human condition has been debated for centuries, and unfortunately our greed continues to cycle our extremes😓
I saw it in some documentary about him, it was no epic poem, a few lines, maybe 4 or 8, and I think the jest of it was something along the lines if "Liza doesn't want me anymore, so she is a bitch". He didn't handle rejection well.
they can also track every litte thing about your phones physical state, exactly where it is, how many steps you are taking and at what speed, even the phones orientation and where the camera is facing. Its also likely its constantly listening to its surroundings even when off. If they can already track every little thing about us im kinda afraid to see what AI, robotics and technology of the future will be able to do. Crazy times with even worse to come
It's such a tragic irony that in the end his books and his ideas in which he did not see much potential soared, while his terrorist acts that he thought would change the world only ended up ruining his credibility and preventing his ideas from spreading a lot faster than they have. Ted's story is a living example of why you may probably want to take things slowly instead of rampaging towards the end goal right away.
That's a real glowie take. How many thousands of well-worded papers on this subject sit moldering on the shelves of countless universities across the world. Do you truly think he's the only one who saw these tremendously obvious events unfolding? No, it's much more likely that he is the only one we've ever bothered to read because of the brutality that and acted. If terrorism murder violence and armed revolt didn't actually work they wouldn't have to say so often and so loudly that it doesn't.
@@dans864 An interesting point, however, I'll counter by stating that he could've actually been more effective in sharing his ideas if he had a significant amount of wealth and social standing from which his ideas could Propagate. All his bombing did was create fear that people eventually forgot about, as we always do. Case in point, no one cares about isis anymore, because fear can only carry an idea so far.
The problem with that idea is that you aren't taking into account how much government and media manipulation before, during and after his actions have changed how people view him and his message. If your message is being colored by your "adversaries" before you can even get it out, people will view it as unhinged and see your being caught as a miracle and then completely ignore you. Did his actions negatively impact how people viewed him? Undoubtedly. But if he weren't viewed as a madman, or better yet if he would have been able to get his message out in a normal way, people would have been able to make up their own minds about how to view said message. And when you have a government willing to perform stuff like M K Ultra, Tuskegee Experiments, etc, you don't really stand much of a chance of getting your message out in a way that people can view it with a neutral vantage point.
@@the_boss2194 Democracy is extremely easy to rig. A company can literally buy every single candidate, specially given the global reach that gives corporations more power and stronger finances than several countries. You can use those puppets to drain national resources for fiat paper for an extremely cheap price. Democracies can be rigged by opening the borders and bringing foreigners, you can both buy votes in exchange of money, and raise taxes for such extractions. If you give poor people money for having children instead of working, the party will win indefinitely. It's all about the number of people, not qualifications. A monarch can't be bought because no company is allowed to have more power than the royal family. Instead of having politicians, the prince studies for decades to fit his role. He already has a fortune, so he needn't steal everything in four years and leave a time bomb to the next president. Also, if the prince has a low IQ, his parent's advisors lead the realm for him. If the realm succumbs, so do they and their titles. If a realm gets poorer, the royal assets decline in value, that's why most monarchies settled in about 8% taxation. People have more financial power, for there are not public government officials everywhere. A realm has its own culture, tradition, history and values,and is much secure than a republic, since criminals are severely punished instead of being "voters". Global world wars don't exist, and the international finance system that drives them doesn't either. I could go for hours really... another important one : accountability. If a president brings a country to ruins he can always blame the previous president. An absolute monarch can't shift blame. And an addendum. If in a democracy 51% are poor, then they can vote the goods of the other 49% away (socialism). As more people get poor and depend on charity, less middle class and less money to extract there is. 70% are poor? Easier to win the next elections by promising the money of the 30% remaining. When rulers discover this, It always ends with a socialist dictator. Democracy is self-imploding. If there's a lot of poor people in a realm, the King's head will end in a pike.
All my life I heard this dude was nuts but never knew the story. When I finally read his manifesto i was blown away at how accurately he described the modern world today. The dude was INCREDIBLY intelligent. Please, if you haven't already, read his manifesto! It will change your life I promise.
If ten days of isolation seriously harmed his development, imagine how badly harmed our current young people will be after the “two weeks to flatten the curve.”
I read 'The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future' about a year ago. I absolutely concur with Ted's multiple conclusions about people's overall psychological frailty and the countless detrimental effects of technology. Turn on the news, or just look around you, and you'll see evidence everywhere you turn. He shouldn't have killed any people to get his point across, but he was totally right about everything he wrote in his manifesto, back in 1995.
@@entireglxy4338 Write a book, it'll be forgotten under other conspiracy theory bullshit. Kill people and be the source of the single most expensive investigation in criminal history and you'll never be forgotten. It's the sad truth of being a genius; you start to realise how much you actually matter. Smart people live more fulfilling lives, dumb people live happier lives. Ted Kaczynski isn't still known today because he killed people or because he was nuts; it's because he was a mathematical genius who applied the laws of absolute logic and came to the conclusion that terrorism was the right answer. Absolute logic disregards things like morality and ethics as they're purely emotional and looks at things through the facts. The thing to remember about all terrorists is that even the worst of them start from a place of sincerity. Al-Qaeda was formed in response to American atrocities in the Gulf War, McVeigh did what he did because of the war crimes at Waco and Ruby Ridge and ISIS began because of American actions in the city of Fallujah. It's when that anger is allowed to fester and turn to radicalism that you get 9/11, 7/7 or Oklahoma City.
His mistake was not killing but killing innocent people that were victims themselves. If he targeted the people that was and is benefiting from the rise of the internet and social media he would be seen as a hero.
I see your point, but I disagree, I don't agree that he should have targeted anyone, terrorism is terrorism, and to me murdering those that you've deemed the "correct" targets is as bad as murdering anyone else. Ted DID target the people he thought responsible, or would be responsible in the future. As correct as he may well be, we can separate that from the acts of terrorism and lives he's ruined and ended.
Shoutout to the re-upload, you know you're pissing off the powers that be when you gotta alter your videos in order to stay on a video sharing platform. Keep up the good work🙏
Bullshit: Even if he DID reupload due to typos, let's not act like its outrageous to think YT would censor videos to promote/protect certain viewpoints and suppress others. EVERY major platform suppresses dissenting viewpoints whether they're true or not. ESPECIALLY if they're true, if you ask me. The narratives must never be challenged, and challenges are to be deflected with ridicule, rather than addressed honestly/logically.
I recommend the Wired article "Why the future doesn't need us" by Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy. One of his friends was a victim of the Unabomber, and he even despite that engages with some of his message about technology and its impact on society in the future.
In Ted's defense, his message wasn't wrong. The delivery was...questionable. EDIT: Also this brings up, there's a mini-series that was made called Manhunt about Ted / the investigation. It focuses on the field of linguistics and how it played a key role in figuring out who did it (Ted wrote in a style of English that only those born during a certain time period in a certain geographical area would write in). It honestly does a great job at humanizing someone that everyone just thought was unhinged. It doesn't make apologies for his acts, but it does shed light on how he became the way he did. It even has a great episode on the experiments Dr. Murray conducted on him and how it psychologically broke Ted. I think his in-person interview (mainly audio) is still on Netflix, and it's deeply fascinating. The funny thing is, as he's being interviewed you can tell he's actually far more social than people initially think. He's extremely outgoing, just happy to have someone listen to his ideas and hear his story. He doesn't gloat about his "achievements" or glorify them, he just goes into the thought process behind it.
The only way they figured out who did it is from his brother recognizing a specific phrase he used in his writing and ratting him out. Otherwise they had no clue. Just trying to make the FBI look competent
Hi Moon, another great video. Quick editorial note, at time stamp 15:12, I think you meant to say “I think we can all condemn” instead of “I think we can all condone”. Keep the great content coming. You’re one of the most thought-provoking content producers out there.
He absolutely nailed it with his manifesto. Totally ahead of it's time. This is not to condone what he did but life could have been so much different for Ted. He clearly had the brain to make a significant contribution to society but was not allowed to.
Sadly brains and ability are not what gets you in a position to make a meaningful difference, you have to be seen as valuable to people with political connections and money and only if you are in agreenent with what they want. Right now our only hope for liberation from them and their technological control grid is to own the decision to reset and a Carrington level event to cause enough damage that they cannot exicute the next stage. Our future is far worse than his manifesto predicts it to be. Many sci-fi things back then are reality today. In a nutshell we are on an evolutionary trajectory that leads first to alteration, then enslavement, then finally to obligate dependancy like the Borg out of star trek. 🤔
I found myself so caught up in the story and how thought provoking this story is, that I almost forgot to zoom out and look at the big picture of how well done this video is. This was put together in such an easy to understand way while still diving into an interesting, but complex subject. That was a fast 20:57 lol
I agree, but I don't know if you noticed. Once I realized it, I couldn't stop noticing it throughout. The video was the constant misspelling of words in transitional titles and text on screen to go with pictures
The thing is, we all know citing him is equivalent to academic suicide, but the few academics I speak to (me stupid) are just baffled by his ideological consistency. I for example, can say "being nice costs nothing," but you and I both know that I'm not always kind to others, and that isn't even a difficult thing to do consistently. He "predicted" what happened because human nature is so good at creating tools that we'll eventually no longer need to think.
A few years back, a friend sent me an untitled document and asked me to read it. I was fascinated by the content and could already see the signs of the impact of the technology outlined. He later told me who wrote the manifesto. It was unsettling to me finding that I agreed with much of it.
Yes, he made a lot of accurate predictions about the negative consequences of technological progress. But... so did countless others. It's literally at the core of the cyberpunk genre. Before Ted was even born, Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World depicted a society that literally worshiped Henry Ford and took a drug called Soma to cope with the monotony and meaninglessness of everyday life. Today, nearly a century later, countless people hang onto every word out of Elon Musk's mouth as he encourages everyone to "get on the grind" while those same people self medicate with weed and alcohol to get through life. Sound familiar?
if you're comparing Brave New World to the unabomber manifesto then you haven't read it. That's like saying we should disregard Shakespeare because Cervantes wrote Don Quixote. You're comparing apple to oranges.
People are addicted to a multitude of prescription medication. Why single out alcohol and marijuana, both of which have been available for thousands of years.
Ted was created and managed by the CIA same as Charles Manson. They keep a watch on their nutjob creations and allow the mayhem and carnage these people create to put society in a state of fear. Control of society is the only goal, there are almost no one in Government high levels that care about nation or fellow humans - they are nothing but 'Lee, ches' sad to say.
Here's a good quote from paragraph 119: "The system does not and cannot exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior that has to be modified to fit the needs of the system. This has nothing to do with the political or social ideology that may pretend to guide the technological system. It is the fault of technology, because the system is guided not by ideology but by technical necessity."
I read his book, The Unabomber and though many lives were lost and destroyed by him, it’s quite scary that his manifesto does sing to the tunes of our current years. In any case, I think on a Joe Rogan show once, he was in some LSD experiment back in the days and that’s how he gotten to “know” about the future. The universe is fascinating and crazy at the same time. That’s for sure.
At some point u start to see that MKUltra was never shut down or abandoned. They were successful and now use the tactics on social media. Ted was crazy because MKUltra made him crazy, however it also gave him extreme insight to what was happening and where it would lead
Imagine if Ted met a small hippie group, grew connections and pushed himself into creating a seed that would grow past his lifespan. He could have had an amazingly positive impact
Wouldn't change much. Government's control is far more overwhelming than ever. The only thing we can do, if this technological progress will really be our undoing, is to approach it more cautiously next time, if we get the chance.
@@zulu-6373 I mean control isn't very high if most of the police force has been murdered in high numbers in the last three years and billionaires or government officials being robbed or murdered in broad daylight is not control hell it's easier now to find government secrets or even their residences ever before in history anyone can find where you live even private information I don't mean to sound like a doom and gloom person but that's not great
Maybe the way he directed his anger and frustration was misplaced but I've been reading about this dude for years , amazing foresight and mind who if listened to at the time wouldn't be forced to be so extreme
He was fighting the system. There was no way that the system was going to let him put his views out there peacefully. The fact that he was able to get his message out at all is surprising.

(Verse 1)
Yo, imagine a society, let me paint the scene,
Where people suffer, trapped in unhappiness, obscene,
Then they're handed drugs to cope, a twisted dream,
Science fiction? Nah, it's our reality, it seems.
In this world, they manipulate our mental state,
Creating conditions that breed depression, hate,
But instead of finding the cause, they medicate,
Antidepressants given, as if it's our fate.
(Chorus)
Welcome to a world where minds are controlled,
Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll,
But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold,
Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold.
(Verse 2)
See, they claim it's a solution, a remedy,
But it's just a mask, hiding true misery,
They'd rather change our minds than fix society,
A means to tolerate what's unbearable, silently.
They remove the blame, shifting it on our brain,
But it's the system that's flawed, driving us insane,
We're caught in their game, where nothing will change,
Popping pills to survive, it's all so deranged.
(Chorus)
Welcome to a world where minds are controlled,
Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll,
But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold,
Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold.
(Bridge)
Break free from the chains, let your voice be heard,
Expose the system's lies, let your actions reverberate,
We won't be silenced, let truth be the word,
It's time to fight the battle, reclaim our fate.
(Verse 3)
Now the time has come, let's rise up, unite,
Illuminate the darkness, bring forth the light,
We won't rely on drugs, we'll fight with all our might,
To dismantle the system that keeps us trapped in this plight.
We'll address the conditions that breed despair,
Creating a society that's fair and aware,
No more masking the pain, we'll confront and repair,
A world that's built on love and compassion, we declare.
(Chorus)
Welcome to a world where minds are controlled,
Society's grip tightens, it's taking its toll,
But we won't be silenced, let the truth unfold,
Antidepressants won't fix what they've sold.
(Outro)
Break the chains, break the chains,
Together we'll rise, no more in vain,
A society reimagined, where happiness remains,
No longer subject to their unhappiness games.

The experiments did not involve any "abuse of technology" (whatever that means).
It involved experimental and brutal interrogation techniques where they would tear apart the subjects world-view. According to some sources who partook in the sessions Ted had already articulated his anti-tech worldview prior to partaking in the experiments. There was no LSD or other substances administered in that particular branch of MK-Ultra. The impact on his later terrorist activities that the branch of MK Ultra Ted was involved in is highly debatable. When Ted himself was questioned about the experience he said "it wasn't so bad". I think the impact of the experiments are often completely overstated when we recount the Unabomber story.

"Surrogate Activities to replace meaningful goals". Our whole gaming industry is built upon this thought. I can't fathom how much recently I got addicted to management sims games. One of which was Dave the Diver where I spent two hours finding a fish in a game.
I feel you, spent a lot of time myself on similar stuff.
Still find myself doing that. One plus I can say is that it's a good escape to heal mentally.
There were times I've had enough of it and picked up creative hobbies. It's very good since I can learn and still enjoy myself.
I do t wanna act like I’m special or anything, but recently games have just been a cause of stress, I realize now that these aren’t goals that bring me happiness but that these games were just objectives and stories that ultimately killed your time. You did nothing but sit and watch pixels move on a screen, I just thought to myself “what am I doing with my life”? And I just couldn’t be engaged with any games since.
For a few months, I also fell into gaming. Binge watching TV, movies, cat videos isn't too helpful, either, though. Thankfully, there are excellent free videos and web sites online teaching science, journalism, engineering, coding/tech, survival skills, cooking, dog training, carpentry, construction, foreign languages - things that are practical and helpful.
The craziest thing about MK-Ultra is the fact that until today only one of the two defined goals of the project is public, the other goal is still redacted but other sources claim it was social control through cybernetics.

I was literally just wondering about this the other day. The government is complicit in his bombings. Had they not experimented on him, perhaps this would have never happened. Charles Manson was also experimented on when he was in prison. It’s crazy they can get away with this. They had a hand in creating these monsters.

Why do you feel the need to say "literally"? If you just said I was just wondering about this the other day", people would take it as literal and not figuratively..

todays man is a comfortable, docile consumer, where all needs are met by technology produced by corporations looking to control him
That's why we need to send our mens to war. And if they success - they will back as winners.
Golden ages are started usually from a era of abundance. It’s not being comfortable that’s the problem it’s the lack of morality in pursuit of endless wealth. During 2001 America was like 90% Christian basically more Christian than modern day Brazil (they live the “hard and honorable” lifestyle you zoomers talk about from the safety of your laptop/phone) anyway the lack of morality has caused the degenerate nature of mankind to take out
@@Dorkeydaze it’s proven morality doesn’t come from religion, and that atheists are just as moral than Christians, except we don’t hate gay people. ( but seriously you need to read the Bible, god does worse shit than anyone on this earth ever has)
@@Dorkeydaze the previous "golden ages" you speak of were localized, meaning the local government had limited control over the demographic. This day in age we have multi national corporations controlling eyeballs of billions of people, along with multi national meetings and "control parties" targeted at manipulating the entire world. Never in history have governments and corporations been so powerful, and THAT is what is scary about this.
@@Dorkeydaze I dont think everyone converting to Christianity is gonna solve our problems. The Romans did that and their empire collapsed soon after. However I agree that morality is definitely been pushed to the back behind chasing wealth, lavish lifestyles, and materialism. But I believe the culture shifted this way when Hollywood, the media, and now social media all began shoving in the public's face what they define as a life a worth living/chasing. and so people focus on working hard, and forgetting about family, and forget about morality, and being kind, and having relationships with people. And technology is rapidly atomizing/dividing everyone into empty shells of humans whose only way to feel better is to consume, hence the optimal consumer
Ted talking about anti depressants seriously rings true in my eyes, in ten years I’ve been prescribed 8 different SSRI style antidepressants and not a single one has helped my depression because the way I see it I’m not depressed internally I’m depressed because of what I see and experience every day externally,
I can see that life as we know it, right now, is barely liveable. struggling to make ends meet in a minimum wage job whilst watching everything get more and more expensive, as the world is slowly being destroyed by CEO’s and fossil fuel execs with more money than they can spend in ten lifetimes and as corporations are destroying nature just to make a buck off the back of their workers depresses me to the core.
I feel like I’m watching the world crumble around me and there is literally nothing I can do to stop it and saying that out loud to a any kind of medical professional tends to just get you moved from one pill to another and makes zero difference to the kind of life I live.
it’s frustrating and genuinely saddening on a deep level that I can barely explain to most people.
I just hope that by the time the world finally collapses in on its self I’m not around to witness it.
You're not alone. Some of us see. Others just don't. I think it's a survival instinct kicking in for those who do not see it.
My man,....telling any of that to a healthcare professional is the definition of irony. I hear you, completely. Those doctors are paid kickbacks by big pharma reps to push their specific pills, and are just another cog in the machine you're talking about. But let me tell you, it's not totally hopeless. You just have to vote, and get everyone you know to vote too, but not just at the election polls. You have to vote with your dollars, since that's all they pay attention to. Investigate your products, and only buy things you actually need, and for the rest, find the most non-asshole company to buy them from. Don't use Amazon.

The way he says people living under totalitarian monarchies had more freedom than people of the modern world is so true. What makes it even more poignant is the fact that most people are either too ignorant to realize this truth; or too afraid to admit it.

Easily the best essay I've seen on the unibomber. I grew up in a remote river valley in the 70s, with nearly nobody around, and today I live in a major metro area. I know without a doubt that Ted was correct about everything in his manifesto.
I grew up in the Bay Area of CA in the 70’s. It was mostly farmland before it started turning into malls, shopping centers, and Silicon Valley. My childhood was nostalgic. Hardly any day went by where I wasn’t happy. Once I finished high school, I went to college in Northern CA in a small town called Rohnert Park. Mostly farmland, but a modern town as well. My stress levels went way down despite studying. Came back in the early 2000’s to the Bay Area and right away my stress levels went up threefold.
John Zerzan has been writing very similar stuff, even stuff that goes way beyond Kaczynski, for decades. Since the internet, he has become more well known, doing speaking tours, online discussions, and the occasional debate. Many of both can be found online.
I fully agree with but a sincere question. What is the answer? Rural, nature integrated communities? But then what about jobs? Also basic running water, sewer system and electricity are needed, aren't they? Every other aspect of modernity can go.
You moved from rural to big urban area because of economic reasons right?
@@simplehealthyliving4681 Partly economic, partly ego. I wanted to see how far I could go in life. But I'm 50 years old, and I no longer have the drive and ambition of my 20-year-old self that left the country with knapsack on a stick and dollar signs in his eyes. Today, I would say that happiness comes from community as goofy as that sounds. It really does. Money is important to the degree that you feel secure, but beyond that amount it is not worth chasing. Jobs are a means to an end, nothing more than that. A career is overrated and will mean little after you're gone. But if I told that to my 20-year-old self he'd have rolled his eyes, hugged me goodbye and driven off to New York City with all his worldly possessions in a Saturn SC2 coupe. Which is what he did.
Poetry aside, you asked a legit question. I never figured things out, but my parents did before I was born. They're smarter than me. They bought a plot of land that cost very little and paid it off over 30 years. We had a well. When it went dry, we built a cistern and paid for water deliveries. Not ideal, but not that expensive. A few hundred dollars got us through the year. We dug our own sceptic tank and leech lines. No regulations out in the country! It works to this day. Over time, we added solar panels that almost cover the electric expenses, water purification machinery as the water quality got a little more questionable, finally the great moment in 2021... we got SpaceX's satellite internet. It works as well as comcast cable and is a true game changer for those that can pay its $140/month bill. When you consider that most food can be grown or bartered for, that there's almost no entertainment budget (not that you're ever bored, there's just no need for money to have fun), and so on, you really don't spend much money year to year. You can get by and be very happy with little money. Problem is - there's not enough land for most people to live like that. Fortunately, most don't seem to want to. They've bought in to the lie that money is everything.

The important thing to know is Ted didn’t lose. Not that he wanted to be caught but his primary goals were to get his manifesto out into the world and to continue to learn and develop his ideas. He’s been able to do all this from prison. The warden has gone on record to say that prison hasn’t really bothered him at all, the only thing that ever hurt him was when his defense team tried to “discredit him” (his words) by using the insanity defense.

You know you are dealing with a tyrant when first they seem to be telling you how to think, but it becomes clear that they are telling you what you think.
Ted's world views have been largely cast aside by society as the ramblings of a man who's gone mad, when in reality taking a little time to read his main points and then reflect on how society coincides with them you start to realize why he went mad in the first place. Albeit he was a very troubled man with evil fantasies, nonetheless an exceptionally intelligent and wise man.
Because the people who say it's the ramblings of a crazy man are the ones that feel called out by the manifesto as being the ones that ruined society
I'm sure 200 hours w/the MK Ultra spooks helped w/his mental unhinging
I think the "evil" fantasies, you say, is very debatable subject matter. So many examples we could compare and contrast. I think Ted probably had a good sense of good and evil,, probably examined the philosophical quandary of these powers, quite thoroughly, in his head, and came to a conclusion, that there would be others who must die, suffer, along with himself, for the prevailing message to be driven home and understood. No doubt Ted knew trying to get through to human consciousness, would be a hit or miss gamble, as it always is. it is all very perplexing.

First week on youtube?
What Ted warns us about is much more dangerous than the killings he did. He was trying to prevent an existential crisis and mass abuse, anyone can look at our situation today and see that he was not wrong. While I don't usually accept the killing of anyone it feels like in this case it was somewhat worth it to spread the message, too bad it did not ring loud enough in people's heads. This reminds me of the problem of the train tracks with 1 person and the ones parallel to those with 5 people, no matter where you chose to make the train go you will make someone die, looks like in Ted's case he chose to try and save humanity at the cost of few lifes. The oversocialized human is also something obvious and worrying, it just takes one to look and compare older generations to new ones
I read Ted Kaczynski's two books, Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution, and they were great ...

His point about overpopulated urban centers is interesting, it doesn't seem like he is saying there is too many people on earth, rather there are too many people in the same places. Like the idea of a big city isn't the problem, it's the amount of people in that big city that is the issue. For nearly all of human history, a "big city" was 100,000 people spread over a large area.
Ancient Rome (the city) had up to 1 million people. Back then, that was a mega city metropolis. Nowadays, that's barely a "big" city in most developed nations. The Roman empire itself had between 70-90 million people, nowadays all over Asia there are mega population centers like the Kanto prefecture (where Tokyo is) that holds almost 40 million people.
I have always been drawn to rural towns and small towns. Give me a home in the mountains thats less than 30 minutes drive to a small town of 30,000 with grocery stores, takeout food, gasoline, and a hospital. That's the ideal way for humans to live. Nearby to one another, but not packed into a small space like sardines.
Idk I like living in Urban areas. Coming home from school just looking across the city. Going all over the city for different things, ending up in random places. What you are talking about with these small cities only really works in places like europe. In Australia, there is very little space for these small towns you speak of because there is a large desert. Also, you reference Tokyo, which if you look at the Island of Japan, there is very little space there as well. Cities are created out of necessity and there clearly are enough people who want to live in these spaces to allow accommodation of millions. You may believe that this is a better way to live, however there are many people who would prefer to live in a big city because unlike a small town, there are more things to accomodate your needs and interests. Also, I am very interested in skyscrapers and stuff so living in a big city is kinda cool. If we all returned to these small towns, it would be inefficient to transport things and there would be very little to do. What works for you doesn't work for everyone and your proposed idea I believe cannot work in advanced modern societies such as in South Korea, China or Japan with huge populations, massive megacities and some of the most efficient economies in the world
Tokyo has almost 40 mln ppl
As someone who grew up in town of 30 000 I have always wanted to escape it. The suffocating feeling of small town community is still horrible now that I'm in my 40ys. Society's pressure to conform is way way stronger there. Once you become somewhat aware of yourself and surrounding world you suddenly see the plan for your entire life laid before you. And no deviation is accepted. And at most steps of your life you see people that perfectly represent what you would be at those stages, and they are not exactly happy.
What exactly is so enticing lookin at those small towns? It's certainly not common since opportunities to move that way are far from rare, but not many people take them.
Lmfao you're joking. Amsterdam (a big city, literally the capital city of netherlands) has a population of 800,000. I think you're exaggerating a bit.
Also i live in a town with a population of about 100k and it sucks to high hell dude.

It's such a tragic irony that in the end his books and his ideas in which he did not see much potential soared, while his terrorist acts that he thought would change the world only ended up ruining his credibility and preventing his ideas from spreading a lot faster than they have. Ted's story is a living example of why you may probably want to take things slowly instead of rampaging towards the end goal right away.
That's a real glowie take. How many thousands of well-worded papers on this subject sit moldering on the shelves of countless universities across the world. Do you truly think he's the only one who saw these tremendously obvious events unfolding? No, it's much more likely that he is the only one we've ever bothered to read because of the brutality that and acted. If terrorism murder violence and armed revolt didn't actually work they wouldn't have to say so often and so loudly that it doesn't.
@@dans864 An interesting point, however, I'll counter by stating that he could've actually been more effective in sharing his ideas if he had a significant amount of wealth and social standing from which his ideas could Propagate. All his bombing did was create fear that people eventually forgot about, as we always do.
Case in point, no one cares about isis anymore, because fear can only carry an idea so far.
The problem with that idea is that you aren't taking into account how much government and media manipulation before, during and after his actions have changed how people view him and his message. If your message is being colored by your "adversaries" before you can even get it out, people will view it as unhinged and see your being caught as a miracle and then completely ignore you. Did his actions negatively impact how people viewed him? Undoubtedly. But if he weren't viewed as a madman, or better yet if he would have been able to get his message out in a normal way, people would have been able to make up their own minds about how to view said message. And when you have a government willing to perform stuff like M K Ultra, Tuskegee Experiments, etc, you don't really stand much of a chance of getting your message out in a way that people can view it with a neutral vantage point.

" even people living under past monarchies and dictatorships had more personal freedom than those in modern society " 100% true
I still don’t understand that. How is that the case

@@the_boss2194 Democracy is extremely easy to rig. A company can literally buy every single candidate, specially given the global reach that gives corporations more power and stronger finances than several countries. You can use those puppets to drain national resources for fiat paper for an extremely cheap price.
Democracies can be rigged by opening the borders and bringing foreigners, you can both buy votes in exchange of money, and raise taxes for such extractions. If you give poor people money for having children instead of working, the party will win indefinitely. It's all about the number of people, not qualifications.
A monarch can't be bought because no company is allowed to have more power than the royal family. Instead of having politicians, the prince studies for decades to fit his role. He already has a fortune, so he needn't steal everything in four years and leave a time bomb to the next president. Also, if the prince has a low IQ, his parent's advisors lead the realm for him. If the realm succumbs, so do they and their titles.
If a realm gets poorer, the royal assets decline in value, that's why most monarchies settled in about 8% taxation. People have more financial power, for there are not public government officials everywhere.
A realm has its own culture, tradition, history and values,and is much secure than a republic, since criminals are severely punished instead of being "voters".
Global world wars don't exist, and the international finance system that drives them doesn't either.
I could go for hours really... another important one : accountability. If a president brings a country to ruins he can always blame the previous president. An absolute monarch can't shift blame.
And an addendum. If in a democracy 51% are poor, then they can vote the goods of the other 49% away (socialism). As more people get poor and depend on charity, less middle class and less money to extract there is. 70% are poor? Easier to win the next elections by promising the money of the 30% remaining. When rulers discover this, It always ends with a socialist dictator. Democracy is self-imploding.

Watched this video yesterday, but gonna watch it again.
If ten days of isolation seriously harmed his development, imagine how badly harmed our current young people will be after the “two weeks to flatten the curve.”
He wasn't isolated lol. He was mkultra'd. It's like the difference between getting hit by a scooter and getting hit by a train.
The lockdown destroyed our country's citizen's mental health
He was isolated for ten days when he had hives as a child and this seriously affected his development. MKUltra came later at Harvard.
My thoughts exactly.
@@GodplayGamerZulul We're all being MK-Ultra'd
I read 'The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future' about a year ago. I absolutely concur with Ted's multiple conclusions about people's overall psychological frailty and the countless detrimental effects of technology. Turn on the news, or just look around you, and you'll see evidence everywhere you turn. He shouldn't have killed any people to get his point across, but he was totally right about everything he wrote in his manifesto, back in 1995.
Maybe he didn’t kill anybody it was the elite who wanted to discredit his manifesto
To be fair, no one would've gave a shit if he simply wrote his manifesto. Even being as intelligent as he is
@@entireglxy4338 I couldn’t agree more, humans are weird something drastic has to happen before we listen
Tbh, he killed those people out of spite. It was just enough of a bargining chip to get his book published.
@@entireglxy4338 Write a book, it'll be forgotten under other conspiracy theory bullshit. Kill people and be the source of the single most expensive investigation in criminal history and you'll never be forgotten. It's the sad truth of being a genius; you start to realise how much you actually matter. Smart people live more fulfilling lives, dumb people live happier lives. Ted Kaczynski isn't still known today because he killed people or because he was nuts; it's because he was a mathematical genius who applied the laws of absolute logic and came to the conclusion that terrorism was the right answer. Absolute logic disregards things like morality and ethics as they're purely emotional and looks at things through the facts. The thing to remember about all terrorists is that even the worst of them start from a place of sincerity. Al-Qaeda was formed in response to American atrocities in the Gulf War, McVeigh did what he did because of the war crimes at Waco and Ruby Ridge and ISIS began because of American actions in the city of Fallujah. It's when that anger is allowed to fester and turn to radicalism that you get 9/11, 7/7 or Oklahoma City.
His mistake was not killing but killing innocent people that were victims themselves. If he targeted the people that was and is benefiting from the rise of the internet and social media he would be seen as a hero.
He's seen as a hero by many.
@@EthanIzeta I concur. RIP Ted 🙏🙌🏼
I see your point, but I disagree, I don't agree that he should have targeted anyone, terrorism is terrorism, and to me murdering those that you've deemed the "correct" targets is as bad as murdering anyone else. Ted DID target the people he thought responsible, or would be responsible in the future.
As correct as he may well be, we can separate that from the acts of terrorism and lives he's ruined and ended.

Sad story of this man.
Also unfortunate for victims since he turned dark.
I recommend the Wired article "Why the future doesn't need us" by Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy.
One of his friends was a victim of the Unabomber, and he even despite that engages with some of his message about technology and its impact on society in the future.
In Ted's defense, his message wasn't wrong. The delivery was...questionable.
EDIT: Also this brings up, there's a mini-series that was made called Manhunt about Ted / the investigation. It focuses on the field of linguistics and how it played a key role in figuring out who did it (Ted wrote in a style of English that only those born during a certain time period in a certain geographical area would write in). It honestly does a great job at humanizing someone that everyone just thought was unhinged. It doesn't make apologies for his acts, but it does shed light on how he became the way he did. It even has a great episode on the experiments Dr. Murray conducted on him and how it psychologically broke Ted. I think his in-person interview (mainly audio) is still on Netflix, and it's deeply fascinating. The funny thing is, as he's being interviewed you can tell he's actually far more social than people initially think. He's extremely outgoing, just happy to have someone listen to his ideas and hear his story. He doesn't gloat about his "achievements" or glorify them, he just goes into the thought process behind it.
The real irony is an even more guilty government with thousands completely absolved of much more serious charges.
The only way they figured out who did it is from his brother recognizing a specific phrase he used in his writing and ratting him out. Otherwise they had no clue. Just trying to make the FBI look competent

He absolutely nailed it with his manifesto. Totally ahead of it's time. This is not to condone what he did but life could have been so much different for Ted. He clearly had the brain to make a significant contribution to society but was not allowed to.
But he did make a contribution
Sadly brains and ability are not what gets you in a position to make a meaningful difference, you have to be seen as valuable to people with political connections and money and only if you are in agreenent with what they want. Right now our only hope for liberation from them and their technological control grid is to own the decision to reset and a Carrington level event to cause enough damage that they cannot exicute the next stage. Our future is far worse than his manifesto predicts it to be. Many sci-fi things back then are reality today. In a nutshell we are on an evolutionary trajectory that leads first to alteration, then enslavement, then finally to obligate dependancy like the Borg out of star trek. 🤔
@@christopherleubner6633 Your post got memory-holed. Not sure why

I agree, but I don't know if you noticed. Once I realized it, I couldn't stop noticing it throughout. The video was the constant misspelling of words in transitional titles and text on screen to go with pictures
R.I.P. Uncle Ted
Ironically, modern technology is helping to spread his message wider and faster than ever before
The only reason we are familiar with his writing is because of the tragic things he did.
The thing is, we all know citing him is equivalent to academic suicide, but the few academics I speak to (me stupid) are just baffled by his ideological consistency. I for example, can say "being nice costs nothing," but you and I both know that I'm not always kind to others, and that isn't even a difficult thing to do consistently. He "predicted" what happened because human nature is so good at creating tools that we'll eventually no longer need to think.
IMAGINE Putting someone through this program then the system acting surprised when they get the product.
A few years back, a friend sent me an untitled document and asked me to read it. I was fascinated by the content and could already see the signs of the impact of the technology outlined. He later told me who wrote the manifesto. It was unsettling to me finding that I agreed with much of it.
There are countless "forbidden" works that will do this to you. Anything "forbidden" by the current Habitus should be read and considered deeply.
Yes, he made a lot of accurate predictions about the negative consequences of technological progress. But... so did countless others. It's literally at the core of the cyberpunk genre. Before Ted was even born, Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World depicted a society that literally worshiped Henry Ford and took a drug called Soma to cope with the monotony and meaninglessness of everyday life. Today, nearly a century later, countless people hang onto every word out of Elon Musk's mouth as he encourages everyone to "get on the grind" while those same people self medicate with weed and alcohol to get through life. Sound familiar?
Feminism and women drinking wine and being on anti-depressants.
if you're comparing Brave New World to the unabomber manifesto then you haven't read it. That's like saying we should disregard Shakespeare because Cervantes wrote Don Quixote. You're comparing apple to oranges.
Read his books retard
People are addicted to a multitude of prescription medication. Why single out alcohol and marijuana, both of which have been available for thousands of years.
Ted was created and managed by the CIA same as Charles Manson. They keep a watch on their nutjob creations and allow the mayhem and carnage these people create to put society in a state of fear. Control of society is the only goal, there are almost no one in Government high levels that care about nation or fellow humans - they are nothing but 'Lee, ches' sad to say.
Here's a good quote from paragraph 119:
"The system does not and cannot exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior that has to be modified to fit the needs of the system. This has nothing to do with the political or social ideology that may pretend to guide the technological system. It is the fault of technology, because the system is guided not by ideology but by technical necessity."
Watched this during the moment I found out he died this morning 🙀
I read his book, The Unabomber and though many lives were lost and destroyed by him, it’s quite scary that his manifesto does sing to the tunes of our current years.
In any case, I think on a Joe Rogan show once, he was in some LSD experiment back in the days and that’s how he gotten to “know” about the future.
The universe is fascinating and crazy at the same time. That’s for sure.
did u watch the video? it clearly mentions how he was a subject in MK-ultra.
Dont believe anything that Joe Rogan says
Congratulations, you are even dumber than Joe Rogan.
Reporting your own brother to the FBI is a worse crime than anything Ted committed. I hope David can't sleep at night.
Henry David Thoreau, also a Harvard man, basically did the same thing--MINUS THE BOMBS! and outlined it in his book Walden.
CIA dude tho
At some point u start to see that MKUltra was never shut down or abandoned. They were successful and now use the tactics on social media. Ted was crazy because MKUltra made him crazy, however it also gave him extreme insight to what was happening and where it would lead
Kaczynski has written two books from prison, they're excellent: Technological Slavery and Anti-Tech Revolution !..
Imagine if Ted met a small hippie group, grew connections and pushed himself into creating a seed that would grow past his lifespan. He could have had an amazingly positive impact
He didn’t like hippies, they are part of what he talks about in his manifesto.

He was fighting the system. There was no way that the system was going to let him put his views out there peacefully. The fact that he was able to get his message out at all is surprising.
