Joe regards to your connecting Kaczynski to the Luddites, I wanted to post something I recently made comment upon in another SS. Kaczynski used malicious means to achieve his point. This is exactly what destroyed the Luddite movement as well, when they turned a corner from speech and destroying the power looms to killing. Many of them were hung for their deeds and the larger issues of truths of their movement unfortunately got buried with them...

Agree with your assessment that Kaczynski went wrong when he took matters into his own hands. I do think there is much to learn from the Luddites and connect the dots to our own historical pivot point.
