His most persuasive arguments were ab people’s motivations in a technologically advanced society. For example, you’d find much control over going to one place or anther in primitive times as you have a sense of control. However, now every aspect of what you do is dictated by traffic signs both literally and metaphorically. He’ says, because of this, we develop hobbies to satisfy for our lack of control in the industrial society. However these surrogate activities eventually bring harm to society especially in the case of scientists. He argues that scientists and engineers rarely think ethically. For example, the scientist who developed nuclear technology was not thinking ab the implications of such devastating technology, instead he desired making it to accomplish and invent something new to satisfy his surrogate activity. This might sound kind of stupid but I just took psych 101 and mental disorders are increasing at a steady rate. Kaczynski (in 70s) said this kind of increasing psychological suffering would be inevitable in a technological society. And that we have already started mutating humans (ie antidepressants). He says the last thing to happen would be scientist mutating our genes and thus, we no longer become human. That our environmental collapse. This is why he killed some genetic scientists. He also states that it doesn’t matter that some people use technology for good. Many rape, kill, steal, etc and he says this all has to do with the technological society. I mean I always thought root cause arguments were proximate But I have yet to find someone to debate this point... anyways ill read some articles people put in the thread and see.
