Ted you would hate 2026. And you were right
Yall sympathizing with this serial killer is insane….he destroyed lives. His brother instantly it was him…….
He hated technology yet he used bombs to ki,,?
can you imagine what he would think of AI
Both Ted and Jeffrey Dahmer came back from the hospital as babies never the same interesting….
I don't think Ted was schizophrenic. I've had several family members with schizophrenia and I don't see the same characteristics in Ted. I think Ted was a psychopath and an introvert and had difficulty interacting with others.
Usually with schizophrenia there is cognitive decline; people with this disease have difficulty with reasoning, planning and may speak or write incoherently. Ted had none of these symptoms. His manifesto is coherent, although rambling at times. His high cognitive test scores (136 on the WAIS R) and outstanding math research provide strong evidence against schizophrenia. His ability to evade the FBI for nearly 20 years is further evidence against schizophrenia. Someone who was thought disordered wouldn't be able to out-think the FBI.
Wasn't A Beautiful Mind about a mathmetician that had schizophrenia?
He had Polish roots? Ya don’t say!
He was speaking truth about technology in today's society
The older you get, the more you understand Ted.
Why did they leave out the MKUltra experiment they put him through?
The part that stayed with me: after the longest manhunt in FBI history, it wasn't forensics that broke it — it was Linda Patrik reading the manifesto on vacation in Paris and recognizing Ted's writing, then David finding that 23-page essay at their mother's house. The image of the investigator comparing the two texts side by side and forgetting which one he'd already read says everything.
Wow the “fun” music and bouncy voice over are so inappropriate for this subject
Who’s here after watching the Netflix documentary? I’m not defending him, but if their version is true. I find it awfully funny that he is another killer on the list that had some involvement with the CIA first.
He was a lunatic. He gets too much credit for speaking ill of technology and living “in nature”. Forgive me, if you are building bombs in your nature hut, then it doesn’t seem like the serenity of the outdoors is having a positive impact. The folk hero nonsense attributed to this dude is ridiculous. There are far better people to look up to.
"setting off harmless explosions in class" lol
Ted "How did you catch me?" Technology! I had my AI robot compare your writings. Ted "aaarrrgghh"
He was definitely misunderstood by todays society. I’m not condoning what he did. But he was definitely misunderstood by todays society on his beliefs.
How can I write to him? I would like to communicate with him.
He committed suicide!
I think he was possessed after his journey in the hospital. Who nose what happened to him in the hospital. At this age rejecting the affection of his mother and the complete change in behaviour is a serious sign of the presence of evil especially for a child… Yes it is a very sad story. I think we should take more care of people with mental disorders. When they are diagnosed at a young age, they should be prayed upon and given more care. Love is stronger than evil but people just think '' oh I can't deal with this '' and they put them on medication that don't solve the problem… This guy acted as he best new and is sense of reality was seriously warped.
he was a martyr!!!
In a shocking turn of courage, Ted Kaczynski disclosed that he identifies as female and that he has been living with postpartum psychosis.
Stunning and brave.
7:01 I think we call young men like this today as InCels.
I hear Eddie Vedder's fine song Society when I think of Ted. Many of us Luddites do not feel glee with more technology arriving at our door step unannounced and uninvited into our world demanding our loyalty and obedience. Kinda scared me when I read his "manifesto" printed in the paper and discovered I agreed with the mad bomber! Not his violent methods but his well thought out belief of what was really wrong in our modern society's love of all things tech.
Wasted 10 minutes of my life, no mention of MK Ultra and went straight to schizophrenia smh
And what fo you know, he was right! 😂
I met Ted Kaczynski in Berkeley in 1969.
His mind i understood. It shows in today's SOCIETY
Solo hizo lo que muchos no nos atrevemos
….yeh?….On Walton Pond…..
An Early Case Of Trauma So Often Disturbs And Splits Two Paths So Definitively….Lightning Strikes !!!
My question is was he so smart and such a good explosive expert that his knowledge could be useful?
CNN would hire this guy. No doubt.
No mention of MK Ultra🤔
If some nutjob says he’s not crazy, then it must be true, you can totally trust him 👍
Schizophrenia is no joke
Passed away? Why not say the truth? He had advanced cancer and he hung himself.
They did a real injustice to Ted with his run in with the CIAs Harvard experience,way to just brush that one over👍 psh
A lot of this sounds like government derived backstory
There's no way Ted was a paranoid schizophrenic. His writings are both logical and well thought out. Those suffering from schizophrenia write the same as the speak, that is to say their writings are a form of 'word salad' and will veer off on unrelated tangents. This can't be attributed to any of Ted's journals. It was the subject matter that they had problems with. Attempting to diagnose him in this way was convenient, attaching a label, thereby no 'normal' person would do the things he did. The thought that 7 'professionals' signed off on that garbage is both hilarious and terrifying.
That even at just nine months from birth, we can be so traumatized is eye opening
So glad Ted's brother did the right thing!
what year
