Here is the opening paragraph of his manifesto “Industrial Society and Its Future” by T. Kaczynski. I tend to think he has some great points. He hits on a lot of issues in the entire manuscript that are that we keep feeding into the machine and it has gone beyond a sustainable level. He advocated for the reduction of consumerism and a return to a more simple rural society.
I can't say that I agree with his approach. Mostly because of the community guidlines. But let's go less consumer and hit the Oligarchs where it hurts, the wallet.
- The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They
have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but
they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to
indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical
suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued
development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to
greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater
social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even
in “advanced” countries.
