You should be impaled by the spears of the tribe for this. We have always used the ritual coconuts to communicate and we always shall. I have sent this message via another so as not to taint myself.

Uncle Ted also used technology, for example to create his mail bombs (the better designs he made, aka battery-triggered detonators). So using technology to destroy technology is perfectly fine.

I read the manifesto nearly two years ago and it had an impact on me for months. I actually re-read completely it probably 5 times over.

Recommendation for the board: stop your obsession with Ted's methods. He was consumed by his creed and didn't stop to think if it was truly the best use of his life.

He outlines a few very powerful psychological ideas, far better than any Jordan B. Cuckerson motifs, to be sure. The lesson here is not to be violent. Ted is rotting in prison. The lesson here is to be aware that more technology and more prosperity WILL make you depressed. Just have a large family and live out in the deep suburbs / countryside even if possible. Homeschool your kids.

Also Ted fingerbanged himself in the ass quite a few times, he mentioned this sometime after he got caught that he had fantasies of being a woman (although noted this was probably due to his upbringing in the technological system)

So stop idolizing him

I don't want to focus sorely on Ted, he's a focus because he's the main anarcho-primitivist philosopher.

I agree that he indeed did a terrible decision on doing such small-scale terrorist attacks, but I think it made a huge impact on some people (after all, we are here on a luddite board). I don't know what else he could do. He was frustrated by technology, and he couldn't fight it, but he had to do something at least. In his manifesto he outlines how his favourite wilderness path (some river, I believe) was ruined by technological machines (in the form of cutting down trees and making asphalt roads).

I also agree that we should limit our use of technology, but I have some more «radical» views. I consider post-agricultural society the starting point of human degeneration. If you'd like me to add more to that, ask away.

I think he's very trustable, sorely due to the fact that he actually admitted to that, and it being a technological problem… To say some controversy, I think (and many people do as well) that homosexuality has some roots in nature, but the widespread adptation of it is highly a technological problem.

>So stop idolizing him

I don't know who to else idolize, to be honest. Zerzan is an absolute fuckwit, and a retarded anarcho-communist. He thinks that [b]natural[/b] hunter-gatherer societies were non-patriarchal and everyone was equal! Of course, Ted runs him to the ground in his essay (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ted-kaczynski-the-truth-about-primitive-life-a-critique-of-anarchoprimitivism.pdf).

How about not idolizing anyone?

Perhaps that's what I'll do. The question remains, who/what shall be the sticky image?

Current sticky photo is ok
