The down and dirty about the unabomber.

The government puts your brain on a petri dish.  You might want REVENGE.

Who woulda thunk that?  Surprise Surprise.

QuoteI believe Ted was objectively correct in his analysis of our modern world, and many of his predictions have come true since he wrote his essay.

If you subscribe entirely to Ted's philosophy, then sure his Solutions seem like the only way forward.  But for most people myself very much included.  Sending bombs in the mail seems like a pretty bad solution to very real problems. 

Indeed it would seem to me like his 20 years of domestic terrorism had basically no impact on the world.

The problem with letter bombs is anyone worth sending one to has somebody else to open the mail.  Demolishing the mailrooms probably won't save humanity.  I am in general agreement with TK that technology is the main problem of our species, because it separated us so far from all other living things we have essentially no predators.  Modern medicine and the extension of the human lifespan was the last straw.  Runaway human population overshoot doomed the planet, though hopefully not irretrievably.

Only time will tell what shakes out after the population knockdown.  None of us will be around by then to see it though.
