Yea his wikipedia page makes it sound to me like he was an idiot savant. Brilliant math prodigy and professor, but his ideologies were absurd and… Regressive, to say the least. But maybe he snapped, because he just like up and moved into the woods.
Ted Kaczynski was legitimately a mathmatics genius.
In 1967, Kaczynski’s dissertation, Boundary Functions, won the Sumner B. Myers Prize for Michigan’s best mathematics dissertation of the year. Allen Shields, his doctoral advisor, called it “the best I have ever directed”, and Maxwell Reade, a member of his dissertation committee, said, “I would guess that maybe 10 or 12 men in the country understood or appreciated it.”
People can be incredibly intelligent in one area and absolute idiots in others. Bobby Fischer was one of the greatest chess grandmasters ever … and a holocaust denier.
Didnt he go to Harvard tho

Yeah and I studied physics and graduated with a load of morons.
I’m willing to concede he was good at maths, much better than I’ll ever be. Doesn’t mean he knew shit about fuck though.
I would’ve thought murdering random people working on computers would be enough of an indicator someone maybe didn’t have the most functional mind.
I will say, Harvard professors were busy running a US backed psyop on the students then, which, may have contributed to his mental downfall.

He was a victim of the CIA’s brainwashing experiments at the time.
Oh fuck I forgot, thank you
Prestigious universities are full of morons full of shit who don’t have anyone who properly questions them because they’re from a prestigious university. So let’s just add the regressive anprim to the list
