Ted Kaczynski

The industrial system has made us weak and dependent.

The future is not in technology, but in the past.

The industrial system is a form of slavery.

The only way to be truly human is to live in harmony with nature.

The industrial system has destroyed our souls.

The only path to freedom is through the destruction of the industrial system.

The industrial system is a death trap.

The only way to escape the trap is to return to the wild.

I don't want to be cured. I like being a monster.

If you want to get rid of me, you're going to have to kill me.

I would rather die than go to prison.

The system does not and cannot exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior that has to be modified to fit the needs of the system.

I am not a nihilist. I believe in nothing.

The only way to save the world is to destroy civilization.

I am not insane. I am just angry.

The leftists are the worst. They pretend to care about people, but they just want power.

I don't regret the bombings. I only regret I didn't do more.

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 painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to mere cogs in the social machine and permanently destroying whatever is left of wild nature. If the system breaks down the consequences will be very painful, but the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.

The industrial-technological system is destroying nature and reducing human beings to the status of cogs in a machine. We need to dismantle it.

The technophiles are hopelessly naive. They imagine that they can control technology, but technology will control them.
