The Unabomber Manifesto - Technologické otroctví




Snížením inteligence v důsledku paranoidní schizofrenie

Podle některých analytiků se na pozdějších Kaczynského atentátech podepisuje jeho účast na pokusech psychologa Henryho Murraye. V nich studenti vedli tajné dlouhé debaty o svých postojích a hodnotách. Tyto rozhovory byly přitom tajně nahrávány, poté byly studentům připoutaným k židli puštěny a zesměšňovány Murrayem a Kaczynským.
Před tímto riskantním pokusem, kdy hrozí ataky 
schizofrenických stavů, byl Kaczynski stabilní osobností. Poté to již neplatilo. Bez vysvětlení z univerzity následující rok odešel.

Creator: John ‘Ted’ Kaczynski is also known as the Unabomber is most famous for engaging in a mail bombing campaign in the US from 1978 to 1995.
Purpose: The Unabomber Manifesto is titled ‘Industrial Society and its Future’ and it speaks to the “erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organisation.” (Wikipedia)

Introduction

(Opening Sentence only of the Five Points in the Introduction)
1 The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
2 The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down.
3 If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful.
4 We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system.
5 In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system.

 INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AND ITS FUTURE


Introduction

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.

2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.





HOW SOME People adjust

77. Not everyone in industrial-technological society suffers from psychological problems. Some people even profess to be quite satisfied with society as it is. We now discuss some of the reasons why people differ so greatly in their response to modern society.

78. First, there doubtless are differences in the strength of the drive for power. Individuals with a weak drive for power may have relatively little need to go through the power process, or at least relatively little need for autonomy in the power process. These are docile types who would have been happy as plantation darkies in the Old South. (We don't mean to sneer at the "plantation darkies" of the Old South. To their credit, most of the slaves were NOT content with their servitude. We do sneer at people who ARE content with servitude.)

79. Some people may have some exceptional drive, in pursuing which they satisfy their need for the power process. For example, those who have an unusually strong drive for social status may spend their whole lives climbing the status ladder without ever getting bored with that game.

80. People vary in their susceptibility to advertising and marketing techniques. Some are so susceptible that, even if they make a great deal of money, they cannot satisfy their constant craving for the the shiny new toys that the marketing industry dangles before their eyes. So they always feel hard-pressed financially even if their income is large, and their cravings are frustrated.

81. Some people have low susceptibility to advertising and marketing techniques. These are the people who aren't interested in money. Material acquisition does not serve their need for the power process.

82. People who have medium susceptibility to advertising and marketing techniques are able to earn enough money to satisfy their craving for goods and services, but only at the cost of serious effort (putting in overtime, taking a second job, earning promotions, etc.). Thus material acquisition serves their need for the power process. But it does not necessarily follow that their need is fully satisfied. They may have insufficient autonomy in the power process (their work may consist of following orders) and some of their drives may be frustrated (e.g., security, aggression). (We are guilty of oversimplification in paragraphs 80-82 because we have assumed that the desire for material acquisition is entirely a creation of the advertising and marketing industry. Of course it's not that simple. [11]


paragraph
90)
No doubt the majority of scientists, like the majority of the general population, are more or less susceptible to advertising and marketing techniques and need money to satisfy their craving for goods and services



Technologické otroctví


Technologické otroctví


Tento příspěvek zahrnuje dvě antitechnologické eseje, které se zaměřují na díla Teda Kaczynského.
První z nich je Technologické otroctví: Odezva na Campbella a Lipkina. Esej je reakcí na jinou esej Thomase Cambella a Michaela Lipkina, v níž je komentováno úsilí Teda Kaczynského s kritickou perspektivou. Této eseje je autorem David Skrbina, jenž je tvůrcem knihy Teda Kaczynského Technologické otroctví, na níž také odkazuje tato esej.
Druhou esejí je Nová luddistická výzva, což je výňatek z eseje „Proč nás budoucnost nepotřebuje, jíž je autorem spoluzakladatel Sun Microsystems Bill Joy. Joy v této eseji možná překvapivě přiznává Kaczynského přínos.

Why the Future Doesn't Need Us

"Why is life worth living?"

Kaczynski's dystopian vision describes unintended consequences, a well-known problem with the design and use of technology, and one that is clearly related to Murphy's law—"Anything that can go wrong, will." (Actually, this is Finagle's law, which in itself shows that Finagle was right.) Our overuse of antibiotics has ...

buy sildenafil fluoxetine online in the case of erectile dysfunction, it works by targeted reduction of PDE- 5 enzymes that manage the blood flow to the penile area. Through this, the blood vessels and muscles in the smooth penile area relax and gain vasculature taking a high blood flow to the penis required for an erection.
