Theodore Kaczynski

Postby harris » Sun Jan 31, 2010 1:38 am

All-

I have spent a few years looking into this man. In his earlier years it seemed that he showed some traits that would be considered "SPD", but personally I believe that he achieved his total "isolation", and for whatever reason it did not satisfy him. He turned violent, why?

What I am asking is do you believe that this man was suffering from SPD? When he committed his crimes was he still the same/SPD, or did he morph into something else?

What are your thoughts on this case?

Thank you,

Harris

I think we talked about this guy in the past, and I think the consensus was that he was probably more antisocial than schizoid. He was way more "anti-society" than simply detached from it.

I believe that he may have drifted towards that, but he seems to have to been SPD before the cabin. Would you agree?

The feds dx him with some form of schizophrenia when they caught him.

SPD or schizotypal pre-morbid to schizophrenia? What little I've heard about Ted Kaczynski reminds me of Travis Bickle ("Taxi Driver") for some reason.
This is not an exit.

It is very possible that he was autistic actually. He didnt commit any crime. The FBI planted bombs on him and used him for the planned war on terror as a patsy. He is totally innocent and he had no friends, problems with social interactions, couldnt form relationsships with women, a perfect victim for CIA and FBI. They simply used him for their war on terror.

Yeah, to me he was angry, mad, and pissed off wanting to
strike back against society.

If he were true SPD I don't think he'd have such strong emotions
for or against people or society. It seems quite off-base to me for
him to be SPD. I'm sure what he did have (whatever that is) had
the side effect of isolating him. He might have liked and wanted
isolation, or just ended up isolated from his behavior and/or
condition but he seems way to 'passionate' about others to be
SPD. (In my opinion of course. hehe) :D

Have you taken a look at the world we live in today? People in today's world don't really need excuses to kill each other they just go out and do it. Its been the same story sense before mankind came down from the tree's.. The religious do it for their god, The patriotic do it for their country, and then you have those who kill out of greed,anger,the thrill of it, etc.

TBH i can't stand people and can identify a bit with him. But am i ready to go out and start killing people? No.. While i don't put much value on human life (there are over 6 billion people on this planet.. nothing that numerous is special).. I have always believed that each person should be able to do whatever the hell they want as long as their actions do not directly effect other people. IE someone wants to do drugs fine.. Let them.. They want to up and off themselves ?.. Fine let them... Taking someone else's life though is not something that i would ever agree with.. The only time to do that would be in self defense.

So in truth i don't know what set him off, What goes through someone's head before they decide to kill someone? I don't know and i hope that i never have to find out tbh. Just not a place i ever would wan't to be.

Every trade, including mail bombing, awaits its ultimate practitioner. Ted was it. The thing I most admire is that Ted went to the trouble and inconvenience of prioritizing difficulty of detection over ease of construction. He foiled piglice efforts completely, and would have been free today if not for his ne'erdowell nonachieving brother turning him in.
