I don’t think he should have been mail-bombing people but his thesis wasn’t wrong. nostr:note1k4en3djcj9ed8x4ukk8u8ervk7mas53jzwz9hxk8cxjzyq0ml4jqp023f0

Agreed. Very few have read it though. It is indeed thought provoking.
Is it ok to mourn his life and his death?
Yeah. But like I said, what he’d did was reprehensible and that shouldn’t be celebrated but he was pretty spot on about what technology was doing and going to do to humans.
I never understood the bombing part of the whole thing.
We wouldn't have read his thoughts otherwise... and even though its feels unnecessary to emphasize the obvious, I agree innocent human life is sacred and should never be taken for personal, political or any other gain or ideology.
It appears to be highly calculated and coordinated how the media referrs to his manifesto. They say its 'radical environmentalism' which was about as far from the point as you can get, quite disgusting. Environmentalism was Kaczynski's preferred alternative to the underlying societal disease, but it was far from his primary motivation.
The only reason I can glean from this gross misrepresentation is the media is aware if they correctly would summarize his observations, many plain-thinking people would take interest in it and find that he has a persuasive explanation for the psychological root of the societal rot. He introduces the concept of oversocialization, perhaps an original idea, but a lens that leads one, for the first time, to see the cause of many common delusions and mental dysfunctions to come into focus undistorted.
Kaczynski was a monster and criminally insane, but what he wrote contained a powerful insight.
Excellent point. I completely agree.
