      If you read his manifesto book its pretty poorly reasoned. He fails(in my opinion) to make a good case why anyone should oppose these things let alone fight back in the way he did. So by that alone I’d say hes wrong.

      He was a nut and majority of what he said and did was wrong. Especially, as you said, blowing people up. Still a real funny Pic though. Don’t take my posting it for thinking he was in the right.

      Given something like 40% of the world relies on crops grown with things like combine harvesters and fertilisers his rhetoric is straight up genocidal as getting rid of those would lead to the death of billions.

      Plus for all it’s horrors the pharmaceutical industry provides some pretty neat things that help people not die.

      The issue ultimately doesnt really lie with industry as a concept/ technology but how we’ve implemented it. Getting rid of it would make things worse for everyone.

      I wouldn’t call him right, he certainly had a point, the exploding people taints most it but the idea that we have become enslaved by the modern world is a pretty valid observation

    This guy used to solve rubix cubes inside his ass, it was fascinating. He’d lube one up with bike chain oil, shove it up there and just like press around on his abdomen for a few minutes and then shit it out into a bowl of rice as if it was some kind of electronic that got wet. I used to go see his performances at the local farmers market with my dad’s brother every couple weeks when I was a kid. Too bad he grew up to be whatever the hell this is, he had potential to do great things in the field of analphysics.

      I’d still do the abdomen-pressing in the interest of showmanship but in my experience, it’s much easier to stuff a solved cube up there ahead of time. Lets you focus on the crowd work instead of cube state.
