"To speak for myself, my own commitment to wild nature grew out of the fact that living close to it satisfied my deepest needs. It gave me freedom, it gave me purposeful work, it gave me tranquility, it offered me beauty that no human work of art could remotely approach. It gave me all of those things, and more, as an integrated whole and as a way of life. Consequently, it gave me a sense that life was satisfying and well worth living.
So I came to love wild nature because of what it gave me. You can call that anthropocentric, if you like, but I don’t think anyone becomes committed to nature merely by divine dispensation."
Why do you think you value nature? Are some people just born with a greater appreciation for the wilderness or (as Kaczynski says) do they come to appreciate it because of what it offers them?

I don't value what I can't have, that being untrodden wilderness. So larping in local forests is how I come to enjoy camping
Wild nature is the highest value, because from it springs the only real freedom that has any meaning. In other words, its the only environment that allows for total and complete freedom, not freedom defined and curtailed by a society or government. And freedom is the most precious thing. Without it, life is without dignity and fulfillment. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Millions of people throughout history have understood this. It's only in modern industrial society that people are brainwashed to believe they have freedom in technological society, or that "freedom doesn't exist" or that freedom doesn't matter compared to "comfort" and convenience. Tech society is a complete evil, and it's enslavement of humans goes hand in hand with its enslavement and destruction of nature.
Couldn't have said it any better
I think that understanding the relationship between freedom and comfort is very important in our modern age. Most modern day "comforts" are simply distractions distributed and encouraged by our society and it's been that way since the Sumerians first found out people would work for beer. I can tell that you understand as well as I that the true comforts of life come only from what you can make, your freedom and that's what modern living has stripped away. That being said I do believe that we could work to build a free world that can include modern tech, if you look somewhere like the Netherlands you can see nature intertwined with environment-friendly public transportation that allows anyone to easily access nature and is a perfect transition point to truly free land.
It's not genetics but the way your parents, other close people or educators did raise you. If they appreciate nature and expose you to it, you're far more likely to appreciate as well instead of those who never left their town or their couch.
>loves nature
>does something which sends him to the worst industrial hellhole of an existence you can find
>before that his freedom consists of hiding in a tiny cabin all day, constantly paranoid that he'll be found out
what did he mean by this?
Dude was a mentally ill incel. Nobody ever talks about how he wrote pages and pages in his diary wishing he had a gf. They also never mention how he fell in love with his lawyer and got pissy when she rejected him.
This, Ted was a loser, it's no wonder this board simps for him.
I see the glowie fags have arrived.
ted was a CIA science project that worked exactly as intended, stop sucking spook dick.
You're an actual retard if you buy the "MK Ultra" myth that was propagated by the media in order to discredit him. You can read transcripts from the undergrad psych experiment his was in and it's all tame

kys homosexual, Ted K was more intelligent and successful than you will ever be.
>and successful than you will ever be.
It's pretty funny that this is actually true when you're directing it at fags on PrepHole even though Ted spent most of his life in solitary.
>Dude was a mentally ill incel. Nobody ever talks about how he wrote pages and pages in his diary wishing he had a gf. They also never mention how he fell in love with his lawyer and got pissy when she rejected him.
None of that invalidates a lot of what he thought was right. Hell killing people to try and vaguely achieve an impossible goal was way worse than that so who cares?
martyred, rip crazy uncle ted, you werent so crazy after all 🙁

I think a lot of what I feel for it is for reasons similar to his; although I do feel a strong love for, and desire to, preserve it even if I am not able to enjoy any personal benefits from it, but the fact is I always get benefits from it so I can't say there are any real life examples where I am doing something for it or loving it in a completely selfless way. That I am also very pleased, and comforted, that a lot of it will still be around long, long after I am gone (geology hits me hard with this and never fails to inspire a bit of reverence and wonder).
I agree with the wild nature and freedom bit. At least in western style states and societies the many of the ones with the least wild nature are also often some of the most authoritarian, and where the people value or understand freedom the least.
pic not really related
I fully expect to have to go outlaw innawoods (and die like a bitch, not going to lie) within 50 years because of AI completing the destruction of society as the end phase of the industrial revolution. Too bad I will be old as fuck by then and there will pretty much be nowhere to run anyway.
