Finish what he started

The system wants to deconstruct masculinity and femininity because it no longer has any for either. Both sexes have been incorporates into the system as drones while reproduction has been outsourced to the third world.

Anybody can get published if they try hard enough.

Into the trash, once we overthrow technological society.

other than his manifesto any good books from other authors that deal with the same issues?

>175. But suppose now that the computer scientists do not succeed in developing artificial intelligence, so that human work remains necessary. Even so, machines will take care of more and more of the simpler tasks so that there will be an increasing surplus of human workers at the lower levels of ability. (We see this happening already. There are many people who find it difficult or impossible to get work, because for intellectual or psychological reasons they cannot acquire the level of training necessary to make themselves useful in the present system.) On those who are employed, ever-increasing demands will be placed: They will need more and more training, more and more ability, and will have to be ever more reliable, conforming and docile, because they will be more and more like cells of a giant organism. Their tasks will be increasingly specialized, so that their work will be, in a sense, out of touch with the real world, being concentrated on one tiny slice of reality. The system will have to use any means that it can, whether psychological or biological, to engineer people to be docile, to have the abilities that the system requires and to “sublimate” their drive for power into some specialized task. But the statement that the people of such a society will have to be docile may require qualification. The society may find competitiveness useful, provided that ways are found of directing competitiveness into channels that serve the needs of the system. We can imagine a future society in which there is endless competition for positions of prestige and power. But no more than a very few people will ever reach the top, where the only real power is (see end of paragraph 163). Very repellent is a society in which a person can satisfy his need for power only by pushing large numbers of other people out of the way and depriving them of THEIR opportunity for power.

From his manifesto. Thoughts?

And then one day, for no reason at all, people started killing themselves in the thousands and murdering large groups of complete strangers

I'm not American but I'd like to write a letter to Ted Kaczynski. Question is, will they put me on some sort of list and look into my background for doing it? All I really want to do is ask him a few questions.

Had he had sex he wouldn't have killed people

So the reason you pukes all bother to read this shit is because you weren't alive when the bombings occurred or when he was arrested and revealed, and you watched 'Dur Maaat Daamonnn Hunting', heard Robin Williams make him out to be some tortured genius and decided to cash in you edgebucks, right?

I was on-board with what he was saying about leftists and social ills, until he started demanding that we start living like cavemen.
