My Mom sent me an article from a speech recently where this guy talks about the pitfalls of technology. Given back in the late 90's, but very relevant to today. Anyway, stumbled across this post on Reddit, and Kaszynski actually repeats(originates?) a lot of the same points. We all know what was put out there when he was captured, but I don't think many of us actually read his manifesto. And while I don't agree with his implementation of his ideas, that doesn't in any way detract from their relevance.

Man, sometimes it feels like the world is completely upside-down..

Who were the 2 guys that opened fire on the CIA employees right outside the gates at a stop light?

I hate all this because it's really a molehill. It's NOT that common.

I dunno, man. I have worked with TWO people who have kids who "transitioned". I work in small IT groups, so I haven't worked with that many people.

I went to a high school that had between 1500-2000 kids. A few were gay, but not a single one was "trans" at the time. This crap has been pushed so hard that it's become trendy. Kids who feel rejected or depressed will jump onto this bandwagon to get some attention and will likely damage themselves irreversibly.

As a father, this concerns me greatly.

OK, longer than I expected, but bear with me.

I think the answer is we have ask "why are kids depressed"? I can answer in SOME ways they are.

They are constantly propagandized into thinking they are "destroying the world" and "the world is going to end in just a decade". IF that were true and you believed it, and you were 14, how would you feel? The world is going to end by the time you leave college. What's the point?

That's ONE of the purposes of "global warming". It's to demoralize society particularly kids.

Kids are HIGHLY propagandized. What is depicted as "normal" on television for a kid to be is ANYTHING but normal. If you were hooking up in high school all the time for sex, that was abnormal. Our society never did that before, this happened in "the sexual revolution". Kids might get married at 15, but they got married at 15, they didn't go around and just fuck. IF you did that, some father would have come after you with a shotgun and put a bunch of salt pellets in your ass, and say "stay the hell away from my daughter, next time it will lead". Somebody like that would LITERALLY have been run out of town.

Hookup culture is abnormal. We've never had that either. It started in the 1960's.

There's all this pressure in media to do abnormal things, that are presented as absolutely normal and they aren't. If a typical kid today woke up in 1800 with the attitudes and social mores of THAT time, I think they'd easily adjust to it. First, they would find out they have to do a lot more work, and there's no entertainment except books, and work can be pleasant and enjoyable. I think they will find that a pleasant shock. Second, there wasn't this social conditioning imposed on children where you're constantly pushed to pervert your own human nature.

A large part of society is just brainwashed, and we all were since birth. I've been deprogramming myself ever since I got out high school. Got rid of my television, realized our "news" media was bullshit, tried to figure out what was actually going on (and there's people that know), watched a ton of films because I enjoyed them, realized they were social propaganda quit that because it was screwing me up. Believe me, Hollyweird has a LOT MORE CONTROL than you can possibly imagine - our culture is downstream of media. It's television and movies that determines EVERYTHING from what is socially acceptable to how we should dress, what we should own, how we should act, what wars to support, what people and institutions to support and attack. It's "normal to be non-binary / gay / trans / whatever" according to Nickelodeon, Disney, Sesame Street, and god knows what other bullshit there is out there. "Religious people are stupid and/or crazy", that was a common theme in the 1990's I recall.

It's not just the NEW generation that has been propagandized, my generation (X) was too, so were the Boomers, I think the last generation to largely miss it was the Silent Generation and the so-called "greatest generation". They experienced propaganda, but not social propaganda. They had propaganda for WWII.

I'm telling you, the reason modern man (and kids) are so unhappy is that they are taught to hate themselves, hate learning, hate mankind, do unusual weird stuff at ages they aren't ready for it, all sorts of shit. They're being warped and we were warped too. Everything unnatural because we have constant conditioning. Fucking BF. Skinner, it's his fault. He believed that there was no nature, it was nurture only. Well, we're being put at odds with our actual nature, CONSTANTLY, and that makes people unhappy.

Think of this: remember hearing "single moms are the BRAVEST women!!" - that was drilled into my head. Why? They are selfish women. They can't divide their time between work and child rearing easily, MOST of them end up in poverty, the kid is neglected, it's not a good way to raise a kid, but we were told over and over and over again how BRAVE these women were. No - selfish, short-sighted, all the while thinking they are morally superior, when it's the exact opposite. The reason people sometimes think "oh, the black community has all these ANIMALS in it" - well, I bet almost all of them were raised in single parent households. This is what happens to a neglected kid.

This yet another example of how women are the weak link in any society.

TED talks are the bomb.
