Feminists, beta male losers, and other leftists are just fulfilling their power process through their favored surrogate activity of achieving institutional dominance over those they cannot beat on an individual or small group basis.

Exactly why I noted the FPWP on this thread.
The system is made up of individuals, but individuals have no say in its trend.
Individuals and small groups have no place or say, only large organizations, and large organizations will trend the system such that the people exist for it rather than it existing for them.
You can already see this, and you can already see what you suggest and what he suggested, that the system ultimately will not need people and will work to shed them.
Suicide is a natural consequence of our present system and its anti-human tendencies, so maybe it's part of the shedding process.
Immigration likely is as well, now that most of humanity are just cogs existing at different price points.
The system takes the cheaper ones and sheds the pricier ones.
The system also has no need for this type of discussion and will trend toward the acceptance and promotion of the dumber and dependent versus any type that could present a challenge to it.
This is happening as well.

I'm not totally convinced that technology itself is the core issue but eliminating it altogether does solve his problem.
He treated individuals as of the same intelligence, motivation, and morality when this is obviously not the case.
So maybe a great cleanse would rid humanity of its opposing factions, for better or worse, and create a singularity of purpose under which technology could be harnessed appropriately and for the benefit of all.
Not to push this too far, but advanced species outside earth have likely done this.
We are not nearly as advanced as we believe, so there's time to stop what is happening as well as time to get on a better track to use it for our benefit.
Either way, the suicide question is obviou and Ted has already answered it.

I'm a huge fan of Kazynski and believe him to be up there with some of the most creative minds of our time but cannot get over the fact that he was a serial killer. To me, being a serial killer is a more dominant mental trait than his musings on society and, to be fair, social writings are somewhat of a bore when not concerning society's greatest influence, technology.

We get it, live in nature and do as nature says. But he was a hermit, living alone, so how could he pretend to be authoritative on society anyway? It's like a fish writing a book about the rainforest. I love the guy, but find him somewhat stupid. I respect him because I understand him, but in no way would I include him on your list.
