Was Ted right?
>>109765333Well being a top false-flag CIA agent you'd expect him to know all about that stuffhttps://web.archive.org/web/20100923103142/http://foresight.org/Conferences/MNT05/Papers/Gubrud/index.html
>>109765333What a genius. He saw it all coming like nobody else could and it drove him mad.
>>109765333He was partly right but I don't really understand his concept of "surrogate activities." He seemed to think we're supposed to suffer like cave men and anything that makes it easier to obtain food and shelter is bad. I agree with his sentiment, though. I think the Amish have the right idea. They do not automatically reject technology, but they come together as a community to discuss how a certain technology will affect them and decide whether or not to adopt it. They often use technology in their business life that they keep out of their home life. I like that.
>>109765333No, he was completely wrong.The enemy are billionaires.
>>109765443He's a mathematician. He simply took his arguments to their logical conclusion, something many philosophers are too scared to do.If people suffer because technology gave them the free time to do other things, then remove the technology and they won't have the free time.Where's the cutoff? I don't know. I haven't seen any evidence that being primitive somehow increased their suffering.We've all seen those posts from Mongolians and Afghanis who were until recently happy in their corner of the world where they understood everything and their place in life, and now they have to deal with the realities of urbanism and all of the negatives that come with it.
>>109766090Kacynzski's argument just boils down to this image, applied every few decades to the consequences of some invention downstream of the industrial revolution
>>109765333No
>>109765443>"surrogate activities." In ISAIF, he didn't write that they were "bad", but rather a coping mechanism. When people don't have meaningful activities and goals, like gardening, fishing, hunting, knitting, etc., people create artificial goals simply for the "fulfillment", like collecting stamps, golfing, growing massive muscles, and so forth.
>>109765333>One of his victims corresponded with Epstein about his blonde studentsRight? Idk but vindicated.
I like Bill so I might read that article.
>>109765333vote by mail?
>>109765333He’s right. Ask any post grad in your local maths department. They talk about how solving complex problems will do this and that, but in the end they just find it fun like doing a crossword.Mathematics is just a high complex crossword puzzle. High tier math models solve very little unless they have physical application. I’m glad that nigger got his idea stolen. Hopefully he can do something more productive now than spend 10 years in a cubicle teaching undergrads
>>109765333Obviously recent history have proven him right, but there were others who saw it too. They chose the smarter path of writing harry potter fanfiction instead of bombing academics.
>>109765333>"Not long ago I received a letter from a gravestone sculptor whose crafted had been rendered obsolete by a laser-guided machine that cared gravestones automatically. He was in his forties, unable to find work and depressed. Maybe you think that can't happen to you.....">go to school for 18+ years to learn to do 1 thing or taught thing for 2/3 of your life >be surprised when thing gets replacedSounds like more of a education+workforce problem. Technology didn't do anything but magnify the problem. You can be replaced by anyone, human or nonhuman, regardless of your skills. If I could breed a dog that can sculpt with its anus I sure as hell would and kick that old dude out the door and many companies and businesses would gladly do the same just to save a penny."Technology" is just an outlet for people too scared to go after the real problem and that fear is the mind killer that makes you too retarded to see the truth and that truth is nobody cares that you think you're special. First new method humans get their hand on and you're out the door. Been this way for over 100 years long before Teddy was born so I don't know what world he thinks he was living in.
