Ok. That’d do it. That’s 118 bucks today on the internet. Still some questions about his funds.

Are we to believe that the esteemed Fields Medalist, Dr. Gerald Lambeaux, was not aware of the existence of Ted Kaczynski?

I’m sure you mean profit, unless there is a subtle joke I missed.
I think he was prophetic. It’s just that to achieve happiness and freedom in his view, we’d have to kill off about 75% of humans.
I’m also a little skeptical of a guy who never got laid lecturing me on happiness.

How did he afford to travel back and forth to San Francisco
Didn't he ride a bike to the bus station and take the bus?

most of the radicalism we see today was born in academia during the 60s
Ted saw it all firsthand at its birth

Money from his family and he worked odd jobs around town.

That’s the story.
So he rides his bike to Lincoln, leaves it on the side of whatever little store is the bus stop, then does a six day round trip on the bus?
And nobody in Lincoln notices that he is taking these odd trips with a package?
And that’s if there was even a bus stop in Lincoln. Otherwise he had to ride that crappy bike down a mountain fours hours to Helena.
I’m not saying impossible. I’m saying, hmmmmm.

I get that. And people were live and let live in northern Montana.
But still. Seems like it’s worth exploring whether he had help.
How did he get plans for bombs? Chemical recipes? He’s a mathematician, not Walter White.

Hey, Gerry, In the 1960s there was a young man that graduated from the University of Michigan. Did some brilliant work in mathematics. Specifically bounded harmonic functions. Then he went on to Berkeley. He was assistant professor. Showed amazing potential. Then he moved to Montana, and blew the competition away.

His manifesto was actually quite good.

Most manifestos are pretty good.

I don’t agree with everything he laid out in Industrial Society and its future, but homeboy nailed most of it. I read excerpts of that shite in the paper in my school library when it happened. I read the whole thing and it’s incredible that he penned that shite after a quarter century in isolation.
ETA: there is apparently some corroboration that he was involved in the CIA/Harvard LSD studies; frickers fried him up with huge daily doses for a year. Dude saw the light type thing.

Of course. He was brilliant.
But that also doesn't mean he wasn't extremely cynical and more than a bit paranoid.

You think the Feds didn’t explore this?

I have trust issues. And I think the feds wanted him put away with as few complications as possible.
