What did you think of it?

I loved it so much. I’ve always been pro-primitivism + anti-civilisation. Ted’s views align perfectly with mine. I love his insights on lefties. He’s very spot-on.

What does he say about lefties?

These 4 pages summarise it well. Basically that they bring us into a dystopia by taking away our freedoms leading to our oppression as a collective.

Written before 1996, so he was well ahead of his time.

He was a fuckin genius. No, I mean, literally, a fuckin genius. Went to Harvard when he was 16. Became a professor of mathematics at Berkeley by age 25.

Indeed. It’s sad he got punished the way he did. I wish he had published more books from prison. I’m writing down my favourite quotes from his book so I can write a blogpost about it. It’s a must read for any person who is into dystopia + doesn’t want to read a fiction novel.

Thanks for the link. I’m excited to read this one :) 🙏🏼

I haven't read but excerpts of this text that were uploaded to the internet a few years back.
There's a documentary on the net somewhere that has the only known interview with Mr K. He sounded like a regular, down to earth, common sense kind of guy, to me.
He probably would be bc of his love for the simple life + wilderness. I always felt that way too. I hate this technocracy we live in. I remember when I gave up my smart phone + switched to a basic phone for almost a year + my employer forced me to get a smartphone to clock in.

I'm fucked. I'm totally addicted to the internet. The internet demon has a stranglehold on my psyche.
Help me, Zeus, father in the universal sky!!!
