Steve discusses reading the Unibomber's manifesto as assigned reading in a college class called 'political rhetoric,' where they read various political writings from figures like Dr. King and Camille Paglia. He references specific content from the manifesto about levels of difficulty in human survival and technology's impact, relating it to Phil's discussion about domestication and survival pressures. Steve clarifies he's 'not pro unibomber' but found the manifesto had motivating thoughts worth studying in an academic context.
