I first read Industrial Society and its future when I was 12 and I came back to it sporadically over the course of my adolescence. I do not condone random acts of violence or believe that what Theodore K did was right. I do think he massively anticipated most of the issues with modern society and oversocialization which were infinitely worsened by the invention of the internet. His discussion of leftist beliefs being diluted into raw identity politics with white upper class leftists personalizing the struggles of marginalized groups is spot on. I have personally seen many people who have grown up in positions of immense privilege who have attached themselves to social issues entirely which could be attributed to a lack of anything at stake in daily life. This is not to invalidate the fact that making attempts to help those who suffer oppression is a good thing, but rather to say the way that some of these leftists go about aiding various groups seems more about their feelings towards themselves than a moral motivation. The simple truth published by Kaczynski is that our behavior and psychology evolved in an environment alien to the one we currently reside in. The way human beings attach themselves to goals and reward themselves with dopamine has been hijacked by technology infinitely more complex than we could have imagined even 100 years ago. In the time since the first bombings by Kaczynski social media has used algorithms tailored to take up all of your attention to completely hijack the way we pursue media. The effects that will arise longterm from this are unseen and deeply worry me. Technology has placed us in a position where the aims we have on a daily basis are being attempted by systems designed to help us hunt large mammals and avoid predators. I am not a proponent of Anarcho Primitivism. I am not saying we should be accelerationist and degrade society so we live a more dangerous life. If we do not design technology and systems of power for the way they affect human beings soon we will influence ourselves in profoundly harmful ways.
