He was an MK ultra victim.

[–] catbum@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Realistically, do we think MK ever stopped?

[–] dontfearthereaper123@ani.social 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes they probably came up with a new better name for a new better project

His conclusions were incredibly prescient. With each year they seem truer.

[–] Carmakazi@piefed.social 29 points 6 days ago (3 children)

He was an angry, murderous misanthrope who used that philosophy to justify his irrational feelings and ultimately actions.

No, I don't think humanity was better off pre-industry, in the era of lordship and peasantry, at best. If you have a problem with your car, you fix the problem, you don't throw your arms up and say "cars are a disaster and should have never been invented!"

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How are you going to fix your car when the part that needs replacing can only be replaced with a part from the original manufacturer matched to your ECU and they stopped making them?

Of course the part needs to integrate with the onboard computers so needs to be signed so it can’t be a used part. To prevent theft of course.

The replacement process requires special tools only provided to technicians at Brand Name dealers, or you’ll brick your ECU. Again to prevent theft you understand.

Now you’ll need to buy an entirely new vehicle because you can’t replace a throttle position sensor that costs $12 to produce.

If you think that’s far fetched… look into what John Deere does.

Capitalism is sprinting past the worst imaginings of the Unabomber.

That doesn’t mean his methods are justifiable or that industrialisation was a mistake but he was ahead of the curve in understanding where capitalists would seek to extract profit.

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Your points are fine, but I think the OP you are replying to may have meant the car as the system, not the literal car within the system.

Now you can expand your comment to match their original intent with: how do we change the system when... For public safety you understand... to protect the children, you understand.... To. . .

And at that point you may reach a rather hopeless cross-road.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I think it's the crossroad that the Unabomber reached.

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Okay okay, I get it, however that won't stop me from saying that cars are a disaster and should have never been invented.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah, really, fuck cars.

[–] liuther9@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] liuther9@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Just fix your car lol

Only dumb firstworlders who haven't seen struggle not even from afar, or people tortured by the CIA could believe that the pre Industrial era was better lol, people plainly lived shorter, worse, lives with more painful deaths, without the hability to dream to do something grater for 99% of people.

In the modern world, in most countries, you can at least live a life, do stuff, even study, back then, for 99% people was "attempt not to starve or fall ill to disease and breed a lot of kids so some survive childhood."

Idk things don't seem that much different or better, humans are still making the same mistakes and are still the hateful little apes they were before they invented factories.

[–] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world -5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The fuck is a lordnn?

Your hate and racism is showing. Nobody was talking about that shit.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 4 points 5 days ago

racism towards whom?

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 2 points 5 days ago

lord of de rings right now which is the modern day spinoff of the famed saga!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I fail to see how sending package bombs to some Professors and grad students, a computer store owner, was "fighting modern technology".

Did this 'genius' think some bombs would force people to stop thinking?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He wrote a rather infamous screed on the topic. The thing with the bombs was to force the newspapers to publish it.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Still though, dude had all kinds of valid targets, and went with ..those people..? Just odd.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

He was insane.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 4 days ago

I mean, if you are dead you aren't thinking anymore

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Terrible bombs that one dude even made fun of after being injured by its misfire.

Professors had an eye for talent.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

well, you can't eat your cake and have it too
