The Unibomber. We agree with it as a warning of danger. You probably believe in it as political dogma.

That was fast Johnnie:
The author of the above writing is Theodore Kaczynski, aka; the Unibomber.
Ted Kaczynski was an intellectually gifted as a child. He graduated from Harvard and held a master's degree and a Ph.D. in mathematics.
One of his professors at Michigan, George Piranian, said, "It is not enough to say he was smart." He earned his Ph.D. by solving, in less than a year, a math problem that Piranian himself had been unable to solve. Kaczynski's specialty was a branch of complex analysis known as geometric function theory. "I would guess that maybe 10 or 12 people in the country understood or appreciated it,"

He was hired on at the University of California, Berkeley and was an extremist environmentalist. He began to dissect the left and discovered that they were the enemy of his cause and he saw them as hijacking the environmental movement though they claimed to be its champion. .

The above writings in the original post are from his so called manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future

The main argument of Industrial Society and Its Future is that technological progress is undesirable and should be stopped in order to free people from the unnatural demands of technology. This should be done so that the people can return to a life close to nature and a life in which an alleged psychological need (described as the power process, of the ability to solve one's own problems and have power over one's life) is fulfilled. Kaczynski argued that it was necessary to cause a "social crash", as otherwise a politically correct technology dominated society would take away the freedom of the great majority to experience the power process, thus enslaving humanity, with individuals having the freedom of domestic animals in a society dominated by machines or an elite social class.

The fact that he was an insane radical environmentalist does not change the fact that he has the brain of a genius. He figured out that whole Berkley bunch and it drove him crazy.
