I think it was a good idea to preface the blogpost with an explanation, but it is hard for me to continue after unsupported statements like "Theodore J. Kaczynski is an extremely intelligent yet wounded man." I guess some evidence may be included elsewhere in the post, but just dropping a sentence like that feels very similar to 4chan-like edginess.

What kind of support do you need? It's a simple statement. He was an off-the-charts genius, with a PhD in math, a university professor, his thesis is still cited. Clearly he's emotionally damaged. You don't have to agree with him or like him, and I'm certainly not endorsing him, but there's no denying he was intelligent.

read it and more importantly read jacques Ellul. It's impossible to form an opinion on TK when you haven't read Ellul.
