Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber (2000)
A really interesting read and imho it&#x27;s quite relevant to our current times. This is the current political climate in a nutshell:<p>&gt; Dualists in a relativistic environment tend to see themselves as surrounded; they become increasingly lonely and alienated. This attitude “requires an equally absolutistic rejection of any ‘establishment’” and “can call forth in its defense hate, projection, and denial of all distinctions but one,” Perry wrote. “The tendency … is toward paranoia.”<p>Reading parts of the manifesto, rambling on about &quot;leftists&#x2F;collectivists&#x2F;socialists&quot;, also reminded me about rather recent &quot;alt-right&quot; arguments. I guess we humans just prefer our realities to be neatly dualistic or else we might be wasting too much energy actually &quot;thinking&quot; about stuff, what a hassle that would be!
