Look, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Kaczynski didn't invent any of these ideas, or even develop them, instead of citing him, why not cite... Literally any other person with them whose mind wasn't blown out by LSD and a desire to commit random political murder.

You're doing your point a disservice by bringing in all of that baggage.

Perhaps there are more original or precise sources for the ideas. I've read Jacques Ellul, for example, but for someone not well versed in philosophy like myself, Kaczynski is more accessible and well known.

I don't agree with many of his conclusions or actions, but I have no problem judging the good ideas he advocated on their own merit.
