The Case For Ted Kaczynski’s ‘Industrial Society and its Future’
Despite his psychopathic tendencies, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto displays a slew of accurate prophecies regarding the technocratic chokehold of present day.
“The term ‘surrogate activity’ is used to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely for the sake of fulfilment.”
technocracy
tĕk-nŏk′rə-sē
1. A government or social system controlled by technicians, especially scientists and technical experts.
2. government by technical specialists.
3. A system of governance where people who are skilled or proficient govern in their respective areas of expertise. A type of meritocracy based on people's ability and knowledge in a given area.
Theodore John Kaczynski first came to the attention of the FBI in 1978 when a primitive homemade bomb exploded in the face of a professor at the University of Chicago. Over the next two decades, he either mailed or hand-delivered a series of increasingly sophisticated bombs that killed three people and injured twenty-three more. Towards the end of his criminal reign, Kaczynski had grown so adept at bomb-making and covert action that he turned his ambition to the skies, threatening to explode airliners in flight.
A mathematics prodigy, Kaczynski abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive life after a series of triggering incidents as a student at Harvard University. In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water in Montana, where he lived as a recluse while learning survival skills to become self-sufficient.
However, it was in 1962 when Kaczynski began to understand his country as not a beacon of individual prosperity, but a beacon of control at the whim of a technocratic few. As a volunteer guinea pig for the infamous Harvard LSD Trials, Kaczynski was exposed to several high doses of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) while being subject to psychological cruelty at the hands of trial founders Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert. According to Kaczynski, it was within these LSD trips that his vulnerabilities were borne to “absolute realisations” that an “evil order of prolific patrons” were working towards submitting planet Earth as a slave planet under the guise of convenient, life-saving technology. As Lucifer promised his convenience unto his followers, so too does the technocracy promise amenity beyond our wildest dreams.
INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AND ITS FUTURE
Kaczynski’s rebuttal to the technocratic demon was to target facilities that assist in the expansion of technological rule. Although misguided in application, Kaczynski’s philosophy is sound, and as we drift closer to Agenda 2030, it is incumbent on all humanity to understand the potential ramifications obscured within the global narrative.
Although flawed in several factors, including Kaczynski’s belief of technocracy being rolled out with altruism in mind, Industrial Society and Its Future displays a prophetic template of the New World Order. The manifesto’s core body is utilised in modern times by the World Economic Forum and Davos in their implementation of fascistic rule. Kaczynski’s thesis, considered paranoid upon its release in 1995, hits the mark on the future of technocratic rule promulgated by leftist ideology under the guise of tolerance and benevolence. A revision of the manifesto’s key points demonstrates a mechanical efficiency in which humanity may fall under technological control due to the subtle hand of corporate manipulation:
Leftism psychology preys on one’s feelings of inferiority and over-socialisation.
Man’s innate need to participate in the power process and surrogate activity can be easily exploited.
The scientific community’s motivation is at polar-opposites to its proclamation of philanthropy through altruistic research.
Industrial society impinges on individual freedoms by design.
Technology can only be accepted as a complete package, not separated into categories of good and bad.
While the aspiration for freedom as a societal whole remains strong, it is weakening due to the octopus of technocratic control.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR), spearheaded by World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab, represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. According to Schwab, the FIR is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technological advances. The advances in question promote the merging of physical, digital, and biological worlds, an ethical saga destined to seed the growth of peril and desperation. Germane to this applied theory-come-system is that what it means to be human is now in question. Once a sound attribute easily explained, albeit philosophically debated, humanity and purpose has decayed in definition and substance in perfect unison with the advancement of technology. Now, as identity diminishes into the metaversal realm, we find ourselves pondering similar dilemmas to that of Ted Kaczynski, a man of great vision despite his foibles, who was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist, only to now achieve vindication in his final years. While the application of his message was horrific, his manifesto was valid and, at this time of great and deliberate turmoil, deserves an unearthing in one final effort to save humanity from those overlords who deem the general population as mere lab rats. We must act now, for in the words of Kaczynski, there will be no fifth industrial revolution.
