Ted Kaczynski RIP

[PNWest]

Ted Kaczynski better known as the Unabomber died today at age 81. He had been in declining health for several months and was found dead in his cell this morning.

Kaczynski was a Harvard-trained PhD formerly a math professor at UC Berkeley - a pretty prestigious gig. As far as I am aware he was the first and only known serial killer who knew how to solve a partial differential equation.

@PNWest is saddened by this news as I admired Mr. Kaczynski's literary works as well as his mechanical and electronic expertise. The funny thing with Mr. Kaczynski is that the life that he led after he was captured was actually far more enjoyable to him than his life as a hermit in the Montana wilderness. In Montana he lived in an unheated 12x12 foot cabin and often went hungry. Because his cabin had no heat he often spent entire winters living in a cave in the side of a nearby hill (mountain?) which was 20 degrees warmer than his cabin. In prison he had access to cooked food, shelter and still enjoyed the solitude he so craved.

Many people don't know it as the government doesn't publicize it but Mr. Kaczynski may have turned out the way he did as a result of series of purposely brutalizing psychological experiments performed on him sponsored by the CIA while he was at Harvard.

Thanks for not sending me any Christmas presents Ted.

In the long run the Unabomber was right.
He warned us about what we are living through now in regard to this information age.

Interesting and very intelligent guy and I read all about what the CIA did to him at Harvard. Like many self styled angry revolutionaries he gave up a real chance to use his talents and intelligence to enact the changes he really wanted and resorted to hate and violence. What a waste of a life…

In the long run the Unabomber was right.
He warned us about what we are living through now in regard to this information age.

He picked up on one facet of a social trend but ultimately his primitivist, hierarchical solutions were reactionary in the extreme. It is not a coincidence that his primary intellectual influence has been among people on the far right like Anders Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, and Richard Spencer.
