Oddbean new post about login | logout should i know who this is?
You probably know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski?wprov=sfla1
uhhh never heard
Read about him and his manifesto; he might be one of the most fascinating people you will ever read about. There are a lot of documentaries about him on YouTube.
Thought his manifesto would be a rant but it wasn't. It's almost as if he warned us all. It's also available in Audible BTW - good narrator too.
I don't think many people realize this today, but his manifesto is going to be the basis of a future decelerationist movement, which is inevitable as we continue accelerating towards a techno-future.
A 2000 report by the United States Commission on the Advancement of Federal Law Enforcement stated that the task force had spent over $50 million throughout the course of the investigation. Yes $50 million behind one mind.
A true legend, he was ahead of his time. Although people may not fully grasp his words now, they will soon come to understand. Ted Kaczynski’s IQ: 167 Harvard admission: At 15 Youngest ever math prof, UCB: At 25 Money spent by FBI to find him: $50+ mil
It’s Ted.
