      Go watch the conclusion, Ted just hated people then dressed up his hatred in this manifesto in a way that would be agreeable. He said nothing new, merely observing the condition of society and justified his terrorism and murders.

      She also has a nice loving family and a younger brother, literally lives in a tree on the edge of a forest, is almost completely independent from civilization except occasionally going out for supplies in a nearby town, oscillates between appearing super polite and rudely asocial, and was kind of an outcast in school. Oh, and there was a prolific meme in the fandom about her wooden shack, filled with murder-adjacent things. She's literally Ted but with friends.

      It's a common symptom of the inherent selfishness humans possess, we like it when our ideas and feelings are reinforced, which makes it really easy to focus on those things that coincidence with what we believe, creating a sort of willful ignorance where people will jump through mental hoops to validate and justify the person with those beliefs so that they don't feel like their own beliefs are invalid by extension. Nobody wants to be wrong, but just because someone who is despicable holds an ideal doesn't necessarily mean that ideal is equally despicable, people just need to do a better job of looking at the gray and mucky parts of morality rather than believing things to be white/black absolutes.

      Ultimately Ted was a hypocrite. He successfully retreated from society, claimed he never got bored communing with nature and didn't need "surrogate activities" -- and then got bored and adopted the surrogate activity of trying to change society for other people. Literally doing the exact thing he was complaining about. Bombing a university has nothing to do with his direct biological needs, the only ones he considers "real." It's crazy how self-delusional even very smart people can be.

    I think you hit it dead on with your final conclusion about Ted. I seriously doubt he ever even cared about his ‘cause’ since his entire manifesto, when combined with the details of his personal life, just paints the picture of a man who could never form connections with people and was jealous of everyone else because of it so in the end he just wanted those people to be as miserable and alone as he was. He absolutely used the technology angle as a scapegoat however I get the feeling it was simply a warped expression of his true feelings; the idea that technology was distracting humans and stunting their growth being representative of a belief that nobody wanted to be with him because they were either distracted by others or simply too stupid to ‘get him’ as he was some higher form. In the end he died exactly how he lived: separated from society.

      It's interesting that he lived his "true" life out in nature and fully put his efforts towards living off the land rather than living off corporations, YET contradicted himself severely as he 1. Didn't build his own housing(used family members' funds) 2. Frequently went into modern civilization to buy survival needs 3. Still engaged in "surogate" activities like politics and literature and philosophy which he claimed ancient philosophers were guilty of living lavishly and were out of touch with nature and only cared of philosophy 4. Engaged heavily in technological and mathmatical manufacturing/education to construct boom-booms 5. Relied heavily on Postal offices, News corporations, and other entities he claimed hindered society to channel his message to the public. 6. Targeted innocent people including the 6yr old, his ex gf, and shop owners which he says are still victims of modern society, unlike corpo-ceos. 7. Claimed that small communities and close relationships were paramount to well being yet avoided any interactions including family, and dismissed of his brother's marriage and neighbor's children 8. Claimed modern society still gave individuals control over "unimportant" things like religion, significant others, etc yet claimed these are paramount while stating modern society controlled important aspects like career, etc which he claimed are artificial. 9. Used highly revised written mediums like doctoral dissertations and other education obtained from Universities which he claimed to hate. 10. Inherently distrusted people and hated their intrusiveness yet routinely tricked his family and sowed societal distrust single handedly, also lying about then FC group, so on...
      To conclude, Ted was an absolute hypocrite and he used his high academic intelligence to create the ultimate strawman/philosophy to delude himself from his inabilities to socialise and integrate... but He also failed to fully live in nature or complete the "power process" i.e no wife, children, family to live for... He was by ALL means a technologist and a modern man who spent time physically in nature, but not mentally, emotionally, or spiritually... He said previous generations adapted to never be bored amongst nature, yet always occupied his time with unnatural concerns including fake gods and fantasies to spice up nature's plainness... Ted was a smart, yet antisocial person who didn't feel accepted by nature, but rather rejected by society and like many people in recent times pin blame on modern life rather than their inability to establish/work towards meaning and fullfillment.
      For anybody who finds themselves in his situation, understand that humans are social creatures and all things in life are obtained via relationships, no amount of work matters if others reject you for timidness/weirdness-- you'll always be ostracised. Take any anger or resentment and funnel that energy into braving new interactions and relationships. Ted was the type of guy to risk life sentences/the penalty before risking a basic social rejection, this is not sane behavior. The way to shed this delusional philosophy is to reconnect with your natural human self-- a social creature (meaning irl communication, not online lol)
      p.s This comment ain't too long this was a 3hr 30min video of course I got things to say🤣🤣also if you disagree and still think technology is the problem then why you still on your computer/device shouldn't you be growing a bean stalk or at least reading a book, but ofc the meme praising Ted are chronically online and sharing their message through tech.

His idea of personal freedom is uniquely liberal. Thomas Aquinas wouldn’t make such an argument. Also, if you replace the cause of his revolution with communism and not environmentalism, boy doesn’t that sound familiar. Also the whole “lefts only do things for their own benefit” as homeboy is delivering bombs in the mail to kill people he doesn’t like lmao.

To think of going straight to killing people and nearly a 3 year old child before trying to make change through his position as an academic authority speaks volumes.

      There are various ways a dolphin has of showing that she or he is interested in sex. Males are probably the easiest to detect. They will swim around, sporting an erection (anywhere between 10 to 14 inches long for a Bottle-nose), and will have no bones about swimming up to you and placing their member within reach of your hand. If you are in the water, they may rub it along any part of your body, or wrap it around your wrist or ankle. (Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.) Their belly will also be pinkish in colour, which also denotes sexual excitement.
      Females can be a little harder. The most obvious way a female dolphin has of displaying her sexual interest is the pink-belly effect. Their genitals become very pink and swollen, making the genital region very prominent. They may be restless, or they may be acting as normal. If you are out of the water, they may swim up to you and roll belly up, exposing themselves to you, coupled with pelvic thrusts. If you are in the water, they may press their genitals up against yours, nibble your fingers, nuzzle your crotch, or do pelvic thrusts against you.
      Each dolphins way of expressing sexual readiness varies, so the longer you know the dolphin, the better you will detect when they are sexually active. When a male dolphin is interested in you, about the only thing you can do, if you are male, is to masturbate him. (Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the female of the human species... it seems women just don't like dolphins enough...) WARNING! You should NEVER let a male dolphin attempt anal sex with you. The Bottle-nose dolphin member is around 12 inches, very muscular, and the thrusting and the force of ejaculation (A male can cum as far as 14 feet) would cause serious internal injuries, resulting in peritonitus and possible death.
      A male dolphin's member is roughly S-shaped, tapered at the end. If you are in the water with them, it is best to support the dolphin on his side, just under the water, with one hand, and handle him with the other.
      Male dolphins, I find, tend to prefer the base of the penis to be gently massaged and squeezed, as well as gently rubbed along it's length. It feels very much like the rest of the dolphin (ie. smooth and rubbery to the touch, but firmer). It doesn't take long for the male to ejaculate, around 40 seconds to a minute, and this is usually accompanied by either shuddering just prior to ejaculating, and thrusting and tail-arching during ejaculation. The force of ejaculation can be powerful at times, so it is best to keep your face out of the line of fire, or keep his member underwater. You can attempt to lick and suck on the end of it while masturbating as well, but be warned, do not try to give full throat, and get the hell out of the way before he ejaculates! A male dolphin could snap your neck in an accidental thrust, and that would be the end of that relationship. Well, the females are again a little trickier. There are two courses of action with a female fin: Masturbation, or mating.
      Masturbation: Female dolphins, once they show interest in you, can be supported in much the same way as the male, one hand under the fin, supporting her, the other doing the stimulating. The clitoris of the female is located at the top of the genital slit, and is a prominent lump when erect. You can rub this with your finger tips, or lick and suck it, but with the oral aspect, you might end up with a bruised nose as they thrust up into you. You can slide your hand gently into their genital opening, and feel around inside, rubbing gently. They feel warm and muscular inside, their labia like tough, squishy sponge when they are excited.
      Don't be surprised if they start to play with your hand inside them. They have very manipulative muscles, and can use them to carry and manipulate objects, including your hand. (They can do things that would make a regular human woman turn green with envy.) Their climax is coupled with stiffening, shuddering, sometimes a lot of thrusting, clinching of the vaginal muscles, and sometimes vocalisation. Mating: This is harder. Obviously, being human, it is awkward, but not impossible to mate in open water. It is easier to have the dolphin in a shallow area (like the shallows just off the beach) around 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep. This is usually comfortable enough for both the dolphin and you. Gently, you should roll the dolphin on her side, so she is lying belly-towards you. You can prop yourself up on an elbow, and lie belly to belly against her. You may want to use the other arm to gently hold her close, and place the tip of your member against her genital slit. She will, if interested, arch her body up against you, taking you inside her body.
      There is usually a fair bit of wriggling and shifting, usually to get comfortable, both outside and inside. Once comfortable, though, females initiate a series of muscular vaginal contractions that rub the entire length of your member. They may also thrust rhythmically against you, so enjoy the experience while you can, since you will rarely last longer that a minute or two. Just prior to her climaxing, she will up the speed of her contractions and thrusts. It is interesting to note that the times I have mated with females, thay have timed their orgasm to mine. Whether they do this consciously or not, I do not know, but it is a great feeling to have two bodies shuddering against each other at the one time. One thing to note. Whether you masturbate or mate a dolphin, male or female, always spend time with them afterwards. Cuddle them, rub them, talk to them and most importantly, and show them you love them. This is essential, as it helps to strengthen the bond between you. Like a way of saying that this wasn't just a one night fling. The dolphins appreciate it, and they will want your company more the next time you visit them.

"People who are pouring all of their effort into art and politics are degrading themselves the right to struggle, if they lived in a cabin out in the woods like me , they would simply never be bored and feel true fulfillment! Which is why I hand-crafted pipe bombs for 16 years for the sake of a revolution--"
    Like... Come on, man... You CANNOT tell me that *wasn't* a surrogate activity...
    Tragic thing is, if he didn't craft bombs and attempt murder as a hobby, he could still be living the life he wanted for himself. But no, he sacrificed that to fulfill a lesser need - by his own definition. I wonder if he even realized that.
