There are ways to engage society at large to communicate concerns about the future of the race and hatred for 'the system' other than threatening to continue bombing innocent people until one's diatribe is published. Breivik quoted Kaczynski in his manifesto, what does that tell you?

i know that brevick did and i know that brevick was a terrible awful man but that has nothing do with the content of the article or the fact that ted was a genius

You asked us our opinions of him. My opinion is that he's a murdering piece of shit who deserves to be executed.

He likely had some good ideas - I haven't read his manifesto - but killing people is not the way to go about it.

There is some truth to it. There is also some very clear paranoia to it.

Or it will make you blow people up.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

lol but really it discusses how liberal arts educations is bullshit and how professors exploit their jobs at the expense of the students which many will agree with

another reason i think people should read it is that he was a former prof and people should not send their kids off to school and take out huge ammounts of loans

RE: the unabomber
I read the piece on academia years ago, to me he mostly came across as bitter and naive. A mix between stating what everyone knows, and some paranoia mixed in. Not impressed.

What's wrong with blowing up people?

I remember seeing a documentary on him. I found it kind of inspiring, I can't remember much about it now.

if by bitter and naive you mean constructing a piece of literature that nobody can debunk and people seem to label the work of a madman
