Even if Ted Kaczynski is in the top .1% of people worth listening to, which I don't think he is, that means that there are millions of people with equally profound ideas. You should prioritze learning from those people first rather than one who resorted to violence as a means to spread his message.
- least 3y agoIt hardly matters if millions of people have equally profound ideas if there's no way to reasonably seek those ideas out. I'm quite certain a lot of knowledge is lost to the ether as very few people have the ability to think about things very deeply, and of those that can, even fewer are able to articulate them, and from that small group, an even smaller group of people are able to actually turn those articulations into something accessible to everyone else. Then it's a matter of how anyone else can find those things. A lot of the times it can't be found. Frankly, I don't see any reason to gate keep my own curiosity. Moral filtering just breeds ignorance.
