Seriously, how can someone who spent their whole life in the wilderness need to touch grass so hard? You feel alienated by wage labor and capitalist development and your solution is to complain about feminists and Berkeley professors? What a useless crybaby.

it's also a good rhetorical line specifically because it's so vacuous. we all have different connotations for "the industrial revolution and its consequences" and what he actually means by "disaster for the human race." that can mean something entirely different for a communist or a fascist reading the line. but ted's meaning was much closer to the latter than the former.
And you can replace industrial revolution with anything for the memes. I love it.
