The Truth About Primitive Life: A Critique of Anarchoprimitivism

Ted Kaczynski
1. As the Industrial Revolution proceeded, modern society created for itself a self-congratulatory myth, the myth of “progress”: From the time of our remote, ape-like ancestors, human history had been an unremitting march toward a better and brighter future, with everyone joyously welcoming each new technological advance: animal husbandry, agriculture, the wheel, the construction of cities, the invention of writing and of money, sailing ships, the compass, gunpowder, the printing press, the steam engine, and, at last, the crowning human achievement-modern industrial society! Prior to industrialization, nearly everyone was condemned to a miserable life of constant, backbreaking labor, malnutrition disease, and an early death. Aren’t we so lucky that we live in modern times and have lots of leisure and an array of technological conveniences to make our lives easy? Today I think there are relatively few thoughtful, honest and well-informed people who still believe in this myth. To lose one’s faith in “progress” one has only to look around and see the devastation of our environment, the spread of nuclear weapons, the excessive frequency of depression, anxiety disorders and psychological stress, the spiritual emptiness of a society that nourishes itself principally with television and computer games … one could go on and on.

1. Lo scopo di questo articolo
Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di mostrare e sottolineare un semplicissimo principio riguardante la lotta ed il conflitto umano, un principio che gli oppositori del sistema tecno-industriale sembrano trascurare. Il principio in questione è che in ogni forma di lotta e di conflitto, se si vuole vincere bisogna colpire l’avversario dove più gli può nuocere.

La nave dei folli Theodore W. Kaczynski

pirateria01

C’era una volta una nave comandata da un capitano e dai suoi secondi, così vanitosi della loro abilità di manovra, così pieni di hybris e talmente imbevuti di sé da diventare folli. Fecero rotta verso nord, navigarono così a lungo da incontrare iceberg e pezzi di banchisa, ma continuarono a navigare in quella direzione, in acque sempre più pericolose, al solo scopo di procurarsi occasioni per gesta marinare sempre più brillanti.

:: EL BUQUE DE LOS NECIOS. Una parábola políticamente incorrecta.

Érase una vez un capitán y sus oficiales que se volvieron tan presumidos, tan llenos de arrogancia y tan pagados de sí mismos, que se volvieron locos.

Pusieron rumbo al Norte hasta encontrarse con icebergs y témpanos peligrosos y, a pesar de ello, mantenían la misma dirección adentrándose cada vez más en las gélidas y temibles aguas, únicamente para darse el gusto de demostrar su pericia en tan temeraria navegación.
