>>15394510
He nailed it more than any serious philosopher in the past 50 years

t. pseud

He predicted pretty much all of our social ills we’ll before the Internet became ubiquitous.

>>15394550
While intellectuals do nothing but screech about [C]apital for decades, he nailed it when he denounced technology instead.

>>15394544
>pseuds
You clearly haven’t read Ted. Industrial Society and its Future is incredibly accessible. It’s written at like a 9th grade level. Nothing pseud about it. It’s actually the opposite of most works of philosophy in that way. He says what he means and he means what he says.

>>15394533
This

>>15394510
It´s just another version of nihilism.

>>15394802
Is it good or bad?

>>15394965
Anarcho-primitivism is some of the dumbest shit ever, its basically
"earth is dying so we must destroy thousands of years of advancements even though they most likely let me be born this very day"

They're environmentalist nihilists who mainly just want a reason to be alt left terrorists.

>>15394510
I'm getting fed vibes from the sudden surge in Ted shilling.

>the feds are shilling some irrelevant primitivist
Literally nobody cares about Ted, they get upset at a handful of things like nazis and ISIS

>>15395134
>Anarcho-primitivism
Confirmed for being a pseud who knows nothing about Kaczynski, given the fact that he dedicates an entire essay to eviscerating clowns like Zerzan

>>15395185
>tfw no comfy federal government job to shill Ted on /lit/

>>15394510
A complaint against nihilism is that it really just gives you a void and no solution. Ted's philosophy gives a solution. Also a lot of burnouts see themselves in him.

>>15395134
you're an incredible dumb dumb, would not let you anywhere near my truck

>>15394510
He appeals to the internet loner demographic.

>>15394510
He's not. He's literally in prison for mass murder.

I started an OnlyFans page in January, which grew steadily until March. Once quarantine started and everyone was looking for online entertainment, it skyrocketed. I made a LOT of money, and it was one of the most exciting and fun things I've ever done. It was starting to impact the rest of my life, though, and I could tell I was starting to develop an unhealthy addiction to the attention, as well as develop a vanity that I've never really had before. After some soul searching, I decided to scale back from it so that I can focus on becoming a better employee in my actual career (the only fans page was becoming a huge distraction for me at work) and re center on my relationship as well. It had started to come between me and my boyfriend, and I didn't want to keep doing it/hurting us anymore. We decided to start the page together, and what started out as a fun exciting thing for us to take photos for etc turned into a business that I was managing separately with all of my free time.
Without it, life feels dull. I feel like I'm in withdrawal. I miss all of the attention, the thrill, buying fun new lingerie and toys online, waking up to a full inbox of people telling me how sexy they think I am. I'm embarrassed that I let myself get so attached to it, but also sad now that it's gone. I hope that I can find excitement in daily life again, without that constant rush. I recently got in shape, and have never had attention like that before, so I think it just met a need for something that I had been craving for a long time. I hope I can move past needing that, or at least find more subtle and responsible ways to recreate that feeling.

>the real edgelords are the ones *not* praising the Unabomber
Lmao.

If you hate technology so much, log off the internet.

A lot of Kaczynski really resonates with people. His explanation is radical and the more one thinks about it the more it makes sense that technology as we know it today is the ultimate source for this clownworld that we find ourselves. All this said though, I don’t get why people treat him like he is some great innovative and original thinker. Kaczynski himself mentions how indebted he is to Ellul, and though he seems to have been thinking along somewhat of the same lines even before Ellul, it doesn’t mean that he is not just retreading a lot of what has been said by other tech-critical thinkers and luddites throughout time. He definitely did a fantastic job in ISAIF and later with ‘Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How’ in making this sort of thought more accessible to the masses – it certainly worked for me. I’m not attacking Kaczynski in this post, merely the veneration that he gets. Originality isn’t, of course, all-important.

Hello, based department?

>>15395432
and you're new

>>15394510
A bunch of hypocrite zoomers like to discuss him on the internet

>>15395413
Here maybe, but he's suddenly seeing discussion on every board.

>>15395761
we must use technology to spread our message effectively. it's ironic, sure, but not hypocritical.

Ted is unbelievably cringe :3

>>15394581
You haven't even read him

>>15395134
Why you talk about ted when you obviously didn't even read fucking book it's not about dying earth it's about human society and its changes caused by industrialization god I hate this site

>>15396242
Why?

>>15398135
probably because he hasn't read ted

Whiners like Ted love to blame boogeymen for all their problems, and Ted's whining is masterfully articulated.

I love how with Ted it is so easy to spot those who have never read him at all.

>>15394510

I mean he's not actually
Mostly just on this very board
The average person these days is more likely to know the name Tiger King than Theodore J. Kaczynski

>>15395185
the FBI is much too busy grooming retards for phony terrorism busts

>>15398361
They might not know his name, but the Unabomber is pretty well known.
And this upswing in Ted obsession came from a major TV show.

>>15398803
>since he set a new standard for the genre by making it gritty and realistic.
Will technique co-opt even Ted?

>>15395739
We’ll just save him like they saved Mandela

>>15394510
Some shills are re-publishing his books and are posting / making threads about him here lately to generate interest
e.g. >>15395222
