I'll add my opinion here: I think uncle Ted on some level understood that people are not naturally incel NEET loners and that's why he reluctantly allows for reliance on a small group to not violate the autonomy requirement of the power process. But he does indeed underestimate the degree to which it is in our nature to need to belong in a small group, a family or a tribe and the importance of this need, practically and psychologically.
EDIT: I listened a bit further up to 55 minutes now and I guess you're saying basically the same thing. The power process as the general theory of human fulfillment is insufficient because it doesn't account for the psychological need to belong, which comes from the very real biological need for families and small tribes.

Gonzalo, you have critically misunderstood the role of "autonomy" in the power process. Autonomy is not the goal or an intended result of the power process. Autonomy is one of the four REQUIREMENTS for going through the power process. Therefore, your example at 52 minutes of satisfying the sexual drive and how that limits your autonomy is completely irrelevant. The relevant part is: is finding a mate (1) a goal that you chose (2) which requires effort (3) and which is hard but not impossible (4) and can you do 1,2, and 3 without relying on a faceless and overwhelming global industrial system, i.e. autonomously?
Furthermore, reliance on a *small* group of people, a family, or a tribe, would not be a substantial limitation of this autonomy according to Ted as stated in paragraph 42.

Although T.Kaczinski is guilty as hell for his despicable terror activities, you whitewashed his anti-leftist stand, perhaps protecting yourself from cancel culture. It was a good webinar, though. You never lived in a communist country, I guess.
