So I was getting ready to publish this interview that I have coming up with Dr. David scrubbiness, who. Actually co-wrote a book with the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. And I was wondering, does anyone even still remember that whole thing and what that’s all about? And then I found this.
Ted Kaczynski was part of the Harvard LST studies. Let’s see.
Yeah. They cooked his brain. And then he disappeared, worked as a professor to earn enough money. So he could buy a cabin and implement his plan to kill everybody who was involved in technology.
So he’d stop this takeover of the human race, which probably is true. That’s one of the things that’s disturbing. It’s just like, well thought out.
And also the argument is sad. Technology will inevitably lead to better technology, which inevitably leads to artificial intelligence, which is inevitably going to take over the world.

Okay. So if it’s good enough for a Joe Rogan, the grand master of alt media, and one of the most popular and important media figures of our age, you know, certainly if you ever look at the stats, Much more important than anyone on CNN, CNBC, Fox, any of that? Just higher rating, more influence.
Especially with the important demographic, but I digress because I’d go further and say, I think.
Like a lot of people, Joe kind of misses the point regarding Ted Kaczynski. Here’s a clip from the upcoming interview.
Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:27] , the pushback, isn’t your intellectual interest in technology or the ill effects of technology it’s that you kind of promoted a serial killer in the process of doing it.
Dr. David Skrbina: [00:01:40] Well, yeah, absolutely. And I was always sensitive to that, you know, um, I mean, I’ve always spoken against it. It’s not like I’m endorsing what he did. But on, on sort of on the one hand, we have that situation on the other, you know, we have. We have to deal with the arguments in the manifesto. And there are very strong arguments against industrial technology.
Alex Tsakiris: [00:02:00] Yeah, but David, there’s a hell of a lot of room between throwing the baby out with the bath water and promoting Ted Kaczynski.
Who, again, I keep saying serial killer and you keep saying Unabomber or whatever. I mean, he would have killed, he would have gone on killing. He planned on, you know, bombing a commercial airliner.
Dr. David Skrbina: [00:02:18] If we’re gonna, you know, not going to promote people, who’ve killed innocent people. Okay. There’s a long list of people who’ve killed far more innocent people than Ted Kaczynski has. We don’t even know the statistics about how many innocent people got killed by our military strikes, implicitly going to our president. So no one really gives that a second thought and we just respect them and we salute them and so forth where you like them or not.
Alex Tsakiris: [00:02:40] So one of the things I brought up to you in email was the link between Ted Kaczynski and MK ultra, and again, uh, you know, there’s an interesting link here that people will find is the gifted child thing.
