Nobody has ever offered a good solution to anything. prove me wrong, it can't be done. God gave us a bag of shitty balls and nice balls, and people seriously think that by shaking the bag around this way or that the shitty balls will disappear. They will not.

the problem is conflating all technology in of itself with what ted calls technological slavery, which is really just consumerist neoliberal capitalism and its grossly inefficient use of resources and wanton destruction of nature. shit like consumer electronics, universality of the car and vehicular infrastructure, suburbia, plastics, pesticides, and the entire agricultural industry as it stands need to go. but technology in of itself is not enslaving or destructive, quite the opposite if it is used wisely.

humans are tool making creatures, the industrial revolution was inevitable the second we climbed out of trees. anprim ideology is inherently impossible and self-defeating and ultimately obtrusive to environmentalism/deep ecology in general

He's different from Marx in that he makes no pretensions of knowing what a revolution would look like and what it's result will be, only that the result would be less bad than continued technological progress.

Ted was a nobody before he became who you know him to be. He's the one and only Ted, Unabomber, or Kaczynski and everybody in the room knows exactly why they've heard of his name. It's irrelevant whether you will ever know him personally, write to, or chat with because the Kaczynski need just be a character. The individual can know him as a friend, but a crowd must know him as a character. Pragmatically he could have only hoped to become a prepackaged personality that is scalable and amenable to exportation across the internet, news, or books, so for the greather good he becomes a great story. A hidden beraggled genius with all sorts of wild opinions who is ready to commit acts nobody can consider is a spectacle nobody can turn away from. This is the relationship you are condemned with for life when it comes to any idea reasonably promoted en-masse with fidelity. That is the power of the principle of a single source of truth. His solution was shitty until you people turned it into one of the most effective options to date. The funniest part of it all is that the nature of the spectacle was only possible thanks to the most grotesque bastardization of everything he hated most. This thread is the same as looking at a $20 bill and exclaiming 'Andrew Jackson is based' while managing to avoid the pinch of situational irony.
