Due to popular demand (i.e. the Unabomber's Manifesto being my most popular episode), I present to you a full rendition of Kaczynski's first political writing: "Progress Vs. Liberty" from 1971.
In this essay, we can see the seeds of anti-conformity and radical technological rebellion were already planted well within Ted's mind. Ones he would only 6 years later let bloom into black pills that, he would allege, justify his murderous plans to destroy technological society.
In this essay, he explores topics like the social conditioning of children, technological developments that threaten freedom, the mass consumption of convenience, and how we are inevitably pulled along not by a grand design, but by humanity's collective crawl toward technological enslavement at the hands of the system.
