I've read Kacynski. I think he had the correct observations, but completely the wrong conclusions.
The same here with Luigi.
They way you phrased "he could have started a podcast" was slightly amusing though, 😄 but I know you meant it sincerely.
The disconnection goes beyond nature though extends to our modern lives. American life is not tribal, but we are bombarded by news in our "global village" and it causes this angst. Luigi will have bearing over my life, and here we are discussing it as it if happened down the street.
Human beings’ disdain for and mistreatment of nature, particularly animals, is appalling. The glee with which we inflict harm on awe-worthy species tells you everything you need to know about the human animal’s arrogance.
Maybe more powerful than amoral CEO’s, an administratively bloated health care system, and a bad back, there are two other major influences behind Luigi’s ill-conceived act: the staggering mediocrity of his Ivy League education and the banality of his intellectual tastes. We’re talking about a man who paid for a chat with Gurwinder. And it’s past time to shatter this image of Kaczynski as someone who just happened to commit an oopsie daisy with a few mail bombs but was otherwise a smart man with sensible thoughts. He isn’t worth taking seriously; suffice it to say he was a terrible writer and a poor thinker. Maybe a coincidence that he was also Ivy League. The only thing he did was shone a light on the salient problem of the U.S Healthcare System For this they blamed Thompson, the CEO of the US’s largest health insurance company. Luigi’s alleged rationalization, given in a 262-word “minifesto,” was nowhere near the intellectual standard of Kaczynski or of someone who was actually well informed. “the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy,” ignoring the fact that the US’s healthcare costs are broadly in line with its income level, and its life expectancy has little to do with health insurance and much more to do with Americans being disproportionately obese, violent, and drug-addicted. Vernated above all the above is UnitedHealthcare’s net profit margin is just 6.11%, which is only about half of the average profit margin of companies in the S&P 500. If UnitedHealth Group decided to donate every single dollar of its profit to buying Americans more health care, it would only be able to pay for about 9.3% more health care than it’s already paying for.

I'm a fan of your third option -- let's do that 😀

I wonder if Luigi read Mishima.
