Elon Musk replied to some skank’s post about Uncle Ted by saying “he might not be wrong.”
It’s cool he said that.
But it sort of fits into his AI fear-mongering that I disagree with.
I agree with fear-mongering about AI, but it should be fear-mongering that only certain people have access to it. Not that it is going to go buckwild and kill everyone – that is just actually goofy.
Also, referencing Ted Kaczynski in a positive way has become a kind of acceptable edginess in recent years.
Tucker Carlson has mentioned Ted several times. I read an article (or saw some CNN segment) tracing the history of right-wing figures talking about it to Tucker Carlson in an Andrew Yang interview.
“Bad person, but a smart analysis.”
Remember this legendary moment on @TuckerCarlson when Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, went mainstream? Whereas once upon a time his writings were dismissed as the incoherent ramblings of a mad man, time has allowed us to find the meat amidst the gristle. https://t.co/tARY6zMVKF

It’s like brah, check the New York Times’ front page profile on Carlson to see where that came from.
I’ve been pro-Ted since Tucker Carlson was shilling the Iraq War.
It’s whatever.
Like I say, it’s cool and edgy, but it’s sanitized edgy. Maybe it’s useful. I wish more people would read Ted’s book.
But it is still well into the safe zone.
Listen:
They’re not ever going to say “Hitler – bad person, but a smart analysis.”
The lines of acceptability can be moved in order to titillate the goyim. But you’re always going to have these lines drawn around the hook-nosed elephant in the room.
In my eulogy for Ted, I wrote that he was a very smart person, but because he was not starting from the point of truth – The Word (Logos) – he would never be able to reach the right conclusions.
And that is the whole system – you can run around forever analyzing problems, but until you start talking about the fact that people who celebrate their ancestors committing deicide are running every level of our society, you’re not really talking about anything.
There is one single three-letter word that bypasses all analysis of every problem in the modern world.
You either say it, or you don’t.
