S5E4 - Kaczynski Part 2 - An Utterly Reckless Ride into the Unknown

from The Two Tongues Podcast · host twotonguespodcast

In this episode Chris and Kyle conclude their exploration of the infamous Ted Kaczynski manifesto titled: “Industrial Society and It’s Future.” The later section covered in this episode hinges on one existential dialectic--Technology or Freedom?  We discuss Kaczynski's opinion about the nature of freedom and how it's preservation is inconsistent with the endless advancement of technology. What will it be, Modern Man? An apocalypse Terminator-style, a voluntary species-wide self-sacrifice...or perhaps something else. Can the advance of technology provide an alternative? Might our enslaver become our savior? Or, might there be a place for two versions of society to exist alongside each other? Could Brave New World have provided the blueprint? Advanced technological utopia on one side, and "primitive" reservations on the other? Enjoy :)
