Dear Editor:

Ted asked me to politely request that you publish his thoughts on Super Bowl L. I’m sure you’ll agree that his “Takes” are very, very unique.

Personally, I admire your “open-door” policy on diverse opinions. Might I suggest that you transcribe the screed as-is? Mr. Kaczynski is very particular about edits and suggestions. Thanks!

SUPER BOWL 50: REFLECTIONS AND EPIPHANIES – PAGE 1

THE ILLUSION OF PROGRESS AND THE RUN OPTION

A. Technology creates immediacy and access to comfort, yet at the expense of killing the natural world and dulling the human senses. A critical evaluation of “progress” is daunting when our culture is imbued in air travel, “Internet” access, and microwave vegan burritos. We must look behind the “science”, scrutinize the premises disguised as conclusions, and look for facts beyond what is presented. Thus the mere accumulation of points cannot by itself render the Panthers as a top NFL offense, as it lacks premier receivers, running backs AND QUARTERBACKS.

B.  Just as promoting as “progress” the genocidal Industrial Revolution, the Media Priesthood has pushed MVP status on Cam Newton (fully disproven in paragraphs “E” to “J” below). This, plus the herd response by consumers, obviate the fact that able offensive line play and deceit have been hallmarks of football since it emerged as a way to canalize our primal bloodlust and erotic angst. This is yet another manifestation of how mass communication

creates shared beliefs that go against all reason. I know this too well, having to endure the unanimous notion that an anti-technology “domestic terrorist [sic]” dons sunglasses, effete curls and moustache, and closely shaves his beard. /*Jan this is me being “self-deprecating” to appear more “accessible and personible [sic]”.*/

THE NATURAL REVOLUTION IS LED BY WADE PHILLIPS

C.   At every single level “socialization” is the conforming of thought and action to a set of rules that are presented as having a shared purpose. A fallacy lies at its heart: these are not common values, but discrete edicts set about by a few powerful, enforced by most, and geared to extinguish our natural abilities and ends. Von Miller and Aqib Talib do not abide by such artificial constraints, and Wade Phillips ensures that the former will continue to ignore them, while guiding Talib to overcome his occasional f*ckheadedness. Ironically, NFL “Playoff Rules” also nourish the Broncos’ secondary natural instincts, as those DBs get handsier than a pat down after rec time. /*Jan that is some “personal experience” and “attitude” to “humanize” me; but I decline to “name drop”, especially those lucky bastards on Death Row. Maybe you should represent THEM INSTEAD*/

D.  Just as our purely mammalian condition negates higher abstract thought (our most “human” of aspects), so does hyperrationality undermine our natural state. Internal socialization, in the form of “moral” self-reflection, frustrates our seminal desires and ends. Our only

constraints should be biological; thus Peyton Manning is the superior sportsman. Manning has accepted, and is playing within, his physical limitations without letting his so-called artificial “Legacy” dictate what he is SUPPOSED to do. Such internal logic fabricated by socialization must be removed from thought and action; once removed, our natural capabilities are liberated and beget high individual purpose. /*Jan this is why an anti-technological agenda does not preclude the use of technology to getting that message out there. It is a matter of efficiency. Efficiency!*/

THE CORRUPTION OF SOCIETY AND CAROLINA’S PASSING STATISTICS

/*Jan I’m going to incorporate, as paragraphs “E” to “J”, my 12/18/2015 essay, “THE INTERNET INTERNMENT”. Aside from obvious substitutions (e.g., “Mike Shula” for “Steve Jobs” and “passer rating” for “Willy Wonka memes”), I need to review it. But a C.O. took my copy for “bathroom reading”; bring the original with you this Friday.*/

K. But Nature will prevail on this historic Super Bowl: BRONCOS 37, Panthers 2. Let that serve as a harbinger of Progress.

/*Jan please review before publication and after I incorporate the last part and you take out /*MY COMMENTS TO YOU ONLY*/. Please do not forget this time to bring me tessellation coloring books and charcoals.*/
