planet earth." Martin Heidegger was one of the individuals who examined this question most carefully. However, groups such as the Freedom Club (or FC), of which the Unabomber is a member, have brought it to our attention most forcefully. Since Dr. Theodore Kaczynski has recently agreed to accept responsibility for the Unabomber crimes, this is also a particularly appropriate time to examine these problems. FC alleges that the Industrial Revolution has brought about much psychological devastation
