Before he became a symbol of rebellion and tragedy, Ted Kaczynski was a mathematician turned philosopher who saw the trajectory of civilization as a slow suicide by technology. In this reading and analysis of Technological Slavery, George Monty dives into the uncomfortable truths of Kaczynski’s arguments — the loss of autonomy, the illusion of progress, and the psychological toll of a world governed by machines.
This episode isn’t an endorsement — it’s an examination of a prophetic, dangerous mind who saw the future unfolding faster than anyone could stop it.
In this episode:
- The core philosophy behind Technological Slavery
- How technological systems dominate human behavior
- The paradox of freedom in a hyper-connected world
- The moral and psychological collapse of industrial society
- Can humanity reclaim control from its own creation?

Many people understand something of what Technological process is doing to us yet take a passive attitude towards it because they think it inevitable, but we don't think its inevitable.
We think that can be stopped and we will give, hear some indications of how to go about stopping it. As we stated earlier, the two main tasks for the present, our to promote social stress and instability in industrial society as well to develop and propagate an ideology that opposes technology and the industrial system. When the system becomes sufficiently stressed and unstable, a revolution against technology may be possible.
The pattern would be similar to that, of the French and Russian revolutions, French society and Russian society for several decades prior to their respective revolutions showed increasing signs of stress and a weakness. Meanwhile, ideologies were being developed that offer a new worldview that was quite different from the old one.
In the case of the Russians revolutionaries were actively working to undermine the old order. Then when the old system was put under a sufficient additional stress by a financial crisis in France, by military defeat in Russia, it was swept away by Revolution.

One is to destroy an old form of society. The other is to set up the new form of society is envisioned by the revolutionaries. The French and Russian revolutionaries failed. Fortunately two create the
