im reading the unibomber manifsto, and although he has some mental issues (and also killed some people) I am not going to adress his idea by ad hominem flaw. i came to the part of "The Motives of Scientists" and he has strong convinctions about the motives of scientists and although he doesn't have (in my opinion) a sharp logical reason why he thinks scientist arent motivated by curiosity, but it does seem that if they were only curious about their work thay would put the amount of hours to their type of work.
he also disregarded the notion of huminitarian reasons for their alleged motives and i must say that it's clear to me especially from the scientists who worked at (i think, I am not sure) the manhattan project that humaniterian they arent.
anyway I am not sure about his conclusion that almost every scientist's motives is to pursue his goals, only.
what do you think of this part of the manifesto?
