The Unabomber wasn't as insane as people assume. I've only read a bit of it, but I've heard that NY Times creed is a pretty consistent and reasonably well thought out argument. He has some points; arguably, our society's relationship with technology is way out of wack. I don't think he proposes a realistic scenario, and it's a bit neoluddite, but still. Sanity wise, I'd put him at least as competent as palistinean suicide bombers.
Also, he's a dead easy halloween costume; I just put on the hooded sweatshirt I always have on hand at the overly-AC'd office, slip on my magnet clip on sunglasses, and I'm good to go!

I just finished reading John Douglas' (FBI Profiler) book on the Unabomber.
Yes, he was as crazy as they were saying. There is more to mental illness than the folks who see things and hear the voice of God telling them to run down the middle of the street naked while shouting "duct tape." Some mentally ill people are more organized than others. Douglas' book was published shortly after the capture, but does include information on events leading up to that and some information on him while in custody awaiting trial. I'd love to see the forensic psychologist/psychiatrist's reports on interviews with him.

Wolf, I bow to your observations. Interesting document there.
Still, although I am a great big technophile, I do wonder if our society could still work and be interesting if it were a lot less techcentric...

Amazing how normal that reaction is, and that video games actually let you investigate the consequences in any way your mind needs. Fun too. |
