the ethics of the Unabomber
the ethics of the Unabomber
Most intellectual screeds of the suicidal intellectuals of society have a whole lot more sense in them than the speeches of most modern politicians. If you haven't yet read Industrial Society and It's Future, etc. try it. I believe you'll find far more truth than you've been led to expect. Also, in such diatribes, it's usually fairly obvious where and how they're going wrong, making their work much easier to digest than politics, which always intends to obscure.

I absolutely did. You've going to have to read it to see what i mean. There are plenty of others. Unfortunately i don't have a list, i've just read them now and then.

Re: the ethics of the Unabomber
You said and claimed: "If you read some book, then "you will find far more truth than you have been led to expect."
I then just asked you; Will you provide ANY examples? [of this, "far more truth than I have been led to expect?"]
To which you replied, "I ABSOLUTELY did".
So, WHERE did 'you'?
But this appears to CONTRADICT what you just said about you ABSOLUTELY did provide examples. Or, am I MISSING some 'thing' here?
Also, HOW is it possible for 'me' to read a book and SEE what you SAW, and what you MEAN, ESPECIALLY considering that 'you' have NOT YET told 'us' what 'you' SAW, and what you MEAN?
Plenty of other 'what', EXACTLY?
And, WHERE are 'they', EXACTLY?
If you are talking about the examples of "far more truth than I have been led to expect", then, if you just said something like: "I do NOT recall ANY examples for now", then that would have been all well and good. There would NOT have been ANY need for ANY of this completely other UNNECESSARY wording of yours here.
BUT, if you can recall some of those examples, then, will you provide ANY examples?

The book i referenced is an example. I'm speaking of the overall set of ideas in the work, not individual instances. It would be easier to say where he's wrong than where he's right, but i see no purpose for citing more specific excerpts because no matter what i say you or someone else will vehemently disagree and call me a Nazi. My point is that you should draw your own conclusions and if you're a reasonable person you'll readily see for yourself the evidence of my contention, and thereby, his. I do not seek to persuade but to open eyes and minds to The Truth. I'm not selling anything and if you don't find my contention to be true, it's your loss, because it is true.
