As someone with long list of mental illnesses, the reason I didn't get help sooner was because I thought I was okay (and was told "Everyone's a bit sad sometimes").

Inferiority complex + superiority complex feels like a great description of BPD 🤣

You can't really ignore the fact he was also ensnared by the MKULTRA program while at Berkeley uni. Psychologically abused, possibly dosed with LSD, and left more damaged than he already was.

“... who struggled with manners.” lol 🔥

rage against the machine.

I am a true crime enthusiast and also have a background in mental health service provision and, later, law. I saw you on @ShaunAttwood a couple of times and very much appreciate your content. I am a subscriber but have not yet had time to review some of your other videos, but will take the time to do that. Thank you for this content on Ted Kaczynski, but I believe there is a glaring omission in your analysis that might benefit the video overall to go back and edit and include. During his tenure in undergrad at Harvard (and I think he may have gone to Harvard at a very young age) he was an involuntary, un-consenting, unknowing subject of LSD and mind experiments undertaken by his immediate supervisor and mentor who was working in tandem w/the CIA. This study was called MKUltra. Your video is completely devoid of this important and, most likely, devastating part of Kaczynski's history. Not only was he subject to unknowing ingestion of LSD, but there was a mind-play component that was carried out by his "mentor" and probably the head of the Department (I don't know all the details). Without acknowledging and including this history in your analysis and potential long-term effects of not only LSD on the brain but unknowing, un-consenting exposure to LSD in a mind-play environment, it seems that there is a big gaping void in your analysis of how Kaczynski actually operated in his adult life.

I seen you on Shaun Attwood channel last night ( 16 / 08 ) and once before that so looking forward to looking at your back videos and more to come

Nothing about the three year psychological torment and humiliation experiment he was recruited for at harvard causing its participant's to experience severe stress and unbeknownst to him would last 3 years.

You have so informative content for people to understand themselves while entertaining, you are hilarious Dr. This channel has helped me immeasurably. Just an insight: i think Ted grande gets loads of viewers bcoz he is serious and it can add to the scare effect whereas you make it lighthearted which lessens effect of crime, but your humour is gold. Just wait and see i guess. Hope it helps.

Really glad I discovered this channel. Lots to watch. Cheers.

He was turned in by the Unabrother.

Good evening, just found your channel. Enjoying it very much. I've read Ted's paper and I can agree with most of it. Do you think he could of been aspergers?

I just watched your 2 hour video from Shaun attwood the whole 2 hours at once and then came here best after work viewing for sure msn keep the videos up I can see this channel exploding[pun on Ted's bombings)lol

you might find interesting the mind control studies he was involved in at Harvard

Hi I came over from Disturbed Reality.

Have you read his manifesto? I didn't find it rambling. Should I be worried about myself.

Any thoughts on the plymouth shooter?

Kaczynski got technological slavery right but why would he act so strongly on a cause that wouldn't have effected his lifestyle? It's weird how he went through all the steps to be untraceable yet in the end his personality came through on paper and he was recognised. I don't mean to be an ass and the video was great. But I found the fast edit style made it a little hard to absorb all the information. I need a few seconds to reflect on the information and ideas.

National Geographic had the photo.

I love your humour - "Naomi Campbell, famous supermodel who struggled with manners....!" 😂 I have a past working as an RN in the operating theatre and sometimes to get through challenging roles, humour - often dark or quirky humour is a must.

Thought-disordered manifesto? Ranting, raving, rambling? Did you even read it? I'd appreciate some specific references to the text that indicate disordered thinking. Dr. David Skrbina, professor of philosophy at University of Michigan, thought Dr. Kacynski's ideas were coherent enough to include them in his book, The Metaphysics of Technology. He also thought the man was psychologically sound enough to have communicated many letters with Kacynski about his ideas after he was incarcerated.

Although I also sometimes troll nitwits on the internet I wouldn't do that to people who have an interesting channel with some depth. You seem to be very enthsiadtic in your profession. I like that. It was interesting listing to you and your opinion on Kaczynski. Keep going with your good work. 👍

That was great! I'm wondering now where the dividing line is drawn between a personality disorder and a mental illness, what the criteria are, or if it's more a matter of severity on a spectrum? Here it seems like delusions/hallucinations are key, but a delusion is something which might have blurry lines too? Anyway I expect you have a video you've prepared earlier? If not, well lets just say I'll be disappointed... dun dun durrrrrr!

His manifesto was pretty good honestly.

I remember reading about Kaczynski aka the Unabomber and feeling sympathetic towards him. Maybe if his family had reached out to him and got him help the bombings may not have happened. He could've pursued his beliefs in his professional life via non violent means like public policy or advocacy. Maybe he felt no one would pay attention.....social isolation can do crazy things.

Agreed - His manifesto had (has?) some very applicable ideals regarding technology. It's too bad that he didn't find a better avenue to try to get through to people. I bet he was perfectly capable of writing a genius book, and after his competent editor did away with the ramblings, he could have achieved the best seller's list and been chosen for Oprah's book club, for example! 😁 Think of how many people he could have reached with his theories and predictions! My next question is - do you think his schizophrenia in particular was with him at birth, or could his brain development and wiring have been disrupted by his social and emotional marginalization and exacerbated by his superior intelligence?

Great video! I thoroughly enjoy your sense of humor. Does that mean I have some type of disorder?

There was a guy in NZ whose crimes were so bad that when he was due for release, the prison had to set up a house on the prison site for him because no one in the community would let him live among them

I was under the impression that an IQ test can't measure above 160 points.

Bi-Polar with amygdala damage--dopamine production, and controlled by the mania associated with the insula system. Which could easily have happened due to the rampant LSD and marijuana use in Frisco in the 70s, which itself led to his Bi-Polar mania and depression (and sexual confusion--insula is where one finds sexual orientation). So where his body still produced stress and anxiety (cortisol), but where he had no pleasures or drives (dopamine) to balance out his anxiety, fears, and anger (cortisol effects). Too much cortisol would normally lead to schizophrenia accompanied by too much noradrenaline (which creates the audio hallucinations), but without the dopamine then noradrenaline would not be produced (just adrenaline). The other guess is he was Bi-Polar before he went to Berkeley, but where before going there he was eating traditional American meals--with lots of sugars and dopamine producers which kept his amygdala semi-balanced, but where drug use and/or veganism made his condition worse (most meat by-products are fed with corn--sugars). Berkeley being the center of the Hippy movement in the US at the time, what is now known as the "New Age" movement. Where many "spiritualists" continue to advocate for veganism, drug use, and "fighting against the system." All connected with the insula system...and either Bi-Polarism with schizophrenic episodes. But he was not full on schizophrenic or his manifesto would have had "God" references--where DMT comes into play (also found in the insula system). As dopamine plays a part in noradrenaline and DMT production--mixed with the serotonin, these seem to be missing from the puzzle. So no dopamine...no pleasures or needs beyond just basic survival (the goal of most Buddhist Monks--and New Agers--to "turn on and tune out of society"). By going off and living in the woods, making his mental situation worse--as he would have no pleasures from external events most of us get them from (sex, porn, wanting things, gambling, alcohol, stimulants like coffee and sugar itself). With no addictions and living frugally, he was able to be "content" (serotonin) with his lifestyle, although like most Bi--Polar people he would need to keep his serotonin levels up by having "purpose" (insula--our "virtue" center, concerned with "species" survival vs amygdala--our vice center with self survival as their drives).

Thank you Dr. Das. I always enjoy your channel. Ted is an intense person. I think they screwed Ted's brain up when he participated in medical testing at the university

Did you know that the brother of Ted also lives in isolation? I don't know if he did before his brother was caught bubut he did say that having such a recognizable last name made life difficult for him. He lives on a homestead type place in the desert somewhere in the southwest part of the USA. He has 1 friend who he has a bond with and who comes to see him. I don't remember the mans name but he is also a brother (or father?) of a serial killer. I find it interesting that the brother also chooses to live in total isolation.

If you want to do protests against the destruction of the environment it should be done in a way that gains sympathy instead of turming people against you and your cause. Like bying an electrical car for a poor family instead of blocking trafic. It is easy for good causes to be kidnapped by narcissists that wants atention.

It would take someone at Ted's intelligence level to help rehabilitate that advanced mind of his.

I think it's important to separate the issues here. His ideology led him to murder people, and he was able to do this because he had a complete lack of empathy toward human beings. His writings talk about the destructive influence of elitist control over the population in an industrial society, but I always get the sense that he was talking about himself, his life, the pain he suffered as an undergraduate, and the career stagnation that ultimately drove him to despair. Negativism, paranoia, a bias toward hostile interpretation, and all kinds of traits led him to murder. But the observation is correct, that in industrial society we are all retrofitted to be cogs in a larger machine. Still doesn't mean we should be murdering people.

You need not ask what his beliefs about the future... its right there in paragraphs 174 and 175 174. On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite-just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft- hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone’s physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes “treatment” to cure his “problem.” Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or to make them “sublimate” their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals. 175. But suppose now that the computer scientists do not succeed in developing artificial intelligence, so that human work remains necessary. Even so, machines will take care of more and more of the simpler tasks so that there will be an increasing surplus of human workers at the lower levels of ability. (We see this happening already. There are many people who find it difficult or impossible to get work, because for intellectual or psychological reasons they cannot acquire the level of training necessary to make themselves useful in the present system.) On those who are employed, ever-increasing demands will be placed: They will need more and more training, more and more ability, and will have to be ever more reliable, conforming and docile, because they will be more and more like cells of a giant organism. Their tasks will be increasingly specialized, so that their work will be, in a sense, out of touch with the real world, being concentrated on one tiny slice of reality. The system will have to use any means that it can, whether psychological or biological, to engineer people to be docile, to have the abilities that the system requires and to “sublimate” their drive for power into some specialized task. But the statement that the people of such a society will have to be docile may require qualification. The society may find competitiveness useful, provided that ways are found of directing competitiveness into channels that serve the needs of the system. We can imagine a future society in which there is endless competition for positions of prestige and power. But no more than a very few people will ever reach the top, where the only real power is (see end of paragraph 163). Very repellent is a society in which a person can satisfy his need for power only by pushing large numbers of other people out of the way and depriving them of THEIR opportunity for power. then in regards to running away he identifies eventually its pointless "Today, however, we are at the mercy of organizations, such as corporations, governments and political parties, that are too large to be responsive to single individuals. These organizations leave us a great deal of latitude where harmless recreational activities are concerned, but they keep under their own control the life-and-death issues on which our existence depends. With respect to these issues, individuals are powerless. In former times, for those who were willing to take serious risks, it was often possible to escape the bonds of the family, of the village, or of feudal structures. In medieval Western Europe, serfs ran away to become peddlers, robbers, or town dwellers. Later, Russian peasants ran away to become Cossacks, black slaves ran away to live in the wilderness as “Maroons”, and indentured servants in the West Indies ran away to become buccaneers. But in the modern world there is nowhere left to run. Wherever you go, you can be traced by your credit card, your social security number, your fingerprints. You, Mr. N., live in California. Can you get a hotel or motel room there without showing your picture I.D. ? You can’t survive unless you fit into a slot in the system, otherwise known as a “job”. And it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a job without making your whole past history accessible to prospective employers. So how can you defend your statement that “[m]odern urban society allows one to escape into an anonymity that family and clan based cultures couldn’t”? Granted, there are still corners of the world where one can find wilderness, or governments so disorganized that one can escape from the system there. But these are relics of the past, and they will disappear as the system continues to grow.”

Schizophrenia may be but more towards sociopathy

By any means necessary. Rage Against the Machine ❤❤❤

Fallout boy??

Wolfie lol doc

He wasn’t schizophrenic AT ALL. His thinking was way too advanced for modern society and the sheep that run around like a virus. He was doing the right thing and trying to help the world.

For a really smart man he wasn't very good at making bombs? And why did he live without running water?

You conveniently missed out the part where he was psychologically tortured by the CIA using MKULTRA techniques during his time in university…

... or he's right.

Should it not be spelled 'Uni'Bomber'?

Please stop trying to be funny your jokes are cringe other than that interesting video
