Page 2 “We emphasize that negative PHYSICAL consequences of scientific advances often are completely unforeseeable. (It probably never occurred to the chemists who developed early pesticides that they might be causing many cases of disease in humans.)” |

A copy of a 1967 Esquire Magazine article, “The Human Race Has, Maybe, Thirty-Five Years Left,” by David Lyle, was found among other documents in Ted’s trunk at Wanda Kaczynski’s house.
A comparison of the last three (3) paragraphs of six-page article is as follows:
| “Esquire Magazine” | “U” Documents |
| “The control of human behavior by artificial means will have become by the year 2000 a frightening possibility. Govemment---’big brother’ —might use tranquilizers, or hallucinogens like L.S.D., to keep the population from becoming unruly or overindependent.” | U-14. Paragraph 157 “Assuming that industrial society survives, it is likely that technology will eventually acquire something approaching complete control over human behavior....Hallucinations can be induced or moods changed by drugs.” |
| “More and more subtle forms of conditioning will lead people to react in predictable ways desired by government or by commercial interests without people quite knowing how they are hoodwinked.” | U-14. Paragraph 159 “Will public resistance prevent the introduction of technological control of human behavior? It certainly would if an attempt were made to introduce such control all at once. But since technological control will be introduced through a long sequence of small advances, there will be no rational and effective public resistance.” |
| “Which sounds like Buck Rogers stuff, until you remember that the gravity belt is here,...” | U-14. Paragraph 160 “To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday’s science fiction is today’s fact.” |
