83%. I've read Kazinsky's manifesto, but don't know Gore's speeches well.
We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges.

75% but I have no idea who Abomber is and I read neither. I just guessed what Gore would write the assumed the remainder belonged to another author with a different style of writing and agenda.
But Garimto was always more than just a Protoss...

Similar agenda, but Gore hasn't resorted to Kaczynski's tactics yet (as if they would ever do anything). Kaczynski was also much more intelligent (than just about anyone, not just Gore), so I based some of my guesses on that. Most were hard to guage though...probably only reading or hearing specific dialogues would help.

no actually
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

67%. Some where easy others where hard. I would have voted Moltke on all of them if that had been an option. Pretty hard to get what they meant in some of them honestly.

I also thought it was phil lack at 1st... the unabomber is a 80's story...

And except for the fact that he was a psycho sending mail bomb... Some of his claim made sense. But of course, he shot himself in the foot by acting like a terrorist.
luck is not a factor

75% biotches!

Either I got lucky or my strategy worked.

I thought about the meta-purpose of the quiz, i.e. make the point that what Al Gore says is pretty crazy, and that the Unibomber's manifesto isn't that crazy.

This is so fucking stupid. The Unabomber was a bad person - but guess what? Bad people have good ideas sometimes. Not every single sentence in his Manifesto was concentrated pure evil. So it's ridiculous to compare Gore to Kazinsky: you could compare anyone's statements on environmentalism to Kazinsky and find matches.

Was pretty tough at some parts. The unabomber has always intrigued me. He even taught mathematics at a university level before going into isolation.

75%.

i thought there were some patterns you could identify with each. gore obviously wont complain about tax, nor will he take too extreme of a stance against techonology. he may complain about stuff like social change but 'return to nature' is not his thing.

92%, I only screwed up on one because I thought the author was trying to trick me. As far as I see, these guys are very distinct. You can basically tell who is talking about the environmental imperative and who is talking from a sociological standpoint. If everyone would take this test without the (false) initial idea that these two authors are difficult to distinguish scores would be higher. It actually is as obvious as it looks.

That screenshot certainly serves a purpose in adding legitimacy and was well worth your time taking and posting since, after all, it's impossible to cheat by doing the quiz twice.

The spoiler serves to show the correct answers.

If you were more efficient you would realize the best way to cheat at that sort of quiz is to view the source code and reverse engineer the javascript; not retake it until you get a perfect score.
