How They Were Caught: The Unabomber

yeah I'm curious about this part of the story what about the 21 other people?!

I bet he took pleasure in knowing the Unabomber was one of the subjects he experimented on

But I also wonder he he didn’t kill him? He was the one that turned him into a totally different person for revenge

I feel like it’s a cop out to blame the psychological experiments for this man’s actions. Twenty some other people took part in this experiment and none of them turned to murder, as far as we know. Yes, it was a wholly unethical experiment but the Unabomber alone is accountable for his heinous crimes.

@@Onorrie I think he had some mental issues and the experiment boosted them

The probability is 100%. There are and many many more that openly agree with much of his philosophy.

David Kaczynski (the Brother) was my parents neighbor when they lived in Schenectady New York. He worked at Union college at the time that the unabomber’s (Ted) bombings I believe

@@steveseagul probably more and more people as technology progresses

Karrie Wise I’m one of them but I’m not as violent.

@@steveseagul I have to admit, I am as well. I'd love if someone would interview him now, I'd be fascinated to hear what he has to say.

That is like Vegeta levels of detrimental.

adam bump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Oh yea this’ll throw em for a loop”

Actually the return labels were other people! Who didn’t make the bombs. One bomb he mailed off was supposed to go back to the return address due to insufficient postage, but the post man did the sender a solid and yeah.

Good movie.

Nice pull, my friend!!! I was just thinking of that line!

Blew the competition away. Yikes.

Anti social loser

@@rimamukherjee5874 oh

@@rams_r_champs Or he just doesn't find the need to feign interest in people

@@rams_r_champs Why so mean?

He said himself that people in the docs greatly exaggerated the effect of the experiment, and basically it had no effect.

It was trauma literally meant to verbally and mentally abuse the (of already somewhat lower self esteem) subject. The effects of trauma arn’t an exaggeration, everyone responds differently and they cant control the severity of their response.

@@tescoasda3879 still not good for a developing 16 yr old brain and body...

@Nigel Lush unless hes told

@@tescoasda3879 i think the fact he said so himself can be biased. he could be in denial.

And to him his only family since he said his parents didn’t love him

Ted is only alive due to spite of wanting to outlive his younger brother I feel like. Trust me. He’s never writing back.

@Mikey Mc tigue Yikes 😬

if he was antisocial how did he find a gf?

I hope he never writes back and is forgotten by his brother, he doesn’t even deserve that luxury. He took that from other people so it’s fair that it’s taken from him aswell without remorse.

governments drop bombs every day and call it lawful so I guess the irony continues...

I thought he said waffle 💀 thx for clearing that up

I heard it as... Waffle

@@thesagedwizard yeah in wars not intentionally against innocent people

@@rams_r_champs yeah because that definitely justifies bombing children right?

You know something strange? The MK ultra program stated that its purpose was to psychologically break down a person and make them do things against their will with no memory of what had happened. I know MK ultra was in the 60s and several years later we got the weapon x comic where they psychologically torture wolverine and make him do things against his will.

Yeah, I often wonder the same thing. Linda in particular was probably the only person on the planet who would have linked Ted to the Manifesto (David has openly said he would have never identified his brother had it not been for Linda). Had she not read it, there's a decent chance he would have never been caught.

no wonder ted didn't like her... he met his match

then all the bombings would have been a waste

But Kaczynski wanted to publish his work. That’s the whole point of the bombing.

Dude got too greedy and approval seeking

Yeah I was like... ok damn this is getting even more sad

Yeah, like just because your sibling's a mass murderer you gotta rat them out???

@@PoochieCollins he and the rest of his family could have got into a lot of trouble if they found out they knew it was him but kept it secret, you can’t say what you would or wouldn’t do as the situation is incomprehensible

@@louiswaze4603 They didn’t know for sure it was him, they just highly suspected it was him

Well yeah when the CIA doses you with massive doses of LSD and tortures you, you would too

uncle ben my uncles name is Chris Waits, he was kaczynskis neighbor for almost 25 years. His book is called Unabomber: the secret life of Ted Kacynski. If you still don’t believe me just look it up.

Nicole Stark don’t let them get to you. Thanks for the book rec! I think I’m going to check it out. Is your uncle still around? How did he feel about providing the parts/ted afterwards with hindsight?

Nicole Stark I actually looked the book up on amazon and if it wasn’t as pricy as it was I would get it. It’s interesting how so many accounts of him involve him being a nice quirky hermit who didn’t seem violent

Throwaway That’ll Stay oh yeah he’s still around, he still lives in his cabin in Montana. Believe it or not he was heartbroken after he found out just how sick Ted was. He saw Ted as a close friend, one of his only friends. He enjoyed spending time with him, and for many years Ted was one of the only people he interacted with. He felt guilty about selling the spare parts to Ted, but he was honestly more upset about the fact that he felt “tricked”

Wow, that’s really interesting!

yeah exactly. Just like every other monster they've produced and used as scapegoats to secure more oil/wealth/power

@@kartunland you do realise osama bin laden was a CIA tactician right? This isn’t even a secret go listen to immortal techniques music you’ll learn a lot

They didn't even mention the acid that was given to him

Imagine being the Stayner parents. One son gets kidnapped for seven years and dies in a motorcycle crash at age 24, and the other becomes a serial killer.

Ted is the greatest modern philosopher

Tone deaf, no
You just aren’t interpreting things correctly and that 100% leads to you having that opinion lol

@@worldisfilledb yeah she seems like she wants to join a bandwagon of hate but no fascination

His views on scientists:
87. Science and technology provide the most important examples of surrogate activities. Some scientists claim that they are motivated by “curiosity” or by a desire to “benefit humanity.” But it is easy to see that neither of these can be the principal motive of most scientists.
As for “curiosity,” that notion is simply absurd. Most scientists work on highly specialized problems that are not the object of any normal curiosity. For example, is an astronomer, a mathematician or an entomologist curious about the properties of isopropyltrimethylmethane? Of course not. Only a chemist is curious about such a thing, and he is curious about it only because chemistry is his surrogate activity.
Is the chemist curious about the appropriate classification of a new species of beetle? No. That question is of interest only to the entomologist, and he is interested in it only because entomology is his surrogate activity. If the chemist and the entomologist had to exert themselves seriously to
obtain the physical necessities, and if that effort exercised their abilities in an interesting way but in some nonscientific pursuit, then they wouldn’t give a damn about isopropyltrimethylmethane or the classification of beetles.
Suppose that lack of funds for postgraduate education had led the chemist to become an insurance broker instead of a chemist. In that case he would have been very interested in insurance matters but would have cared nothing about isopropyltrimethylmethane. In any case it is not normal to put into the satisfaction of mere curiosity the amount of time and effort that scientists put into their work. The “curiosity” explanation for the scientists’ motive just doesn’t stand up.
88. The “benefit of humanity” explanation doesn’t work any better. Some scientific work has no conceivable relation to the welfare of the human race most of archaeology or comparative linguistics for example. Some otherareas of science present obviously dangerous possibilities.
Yet scientists in these areas are just as enthusiastic about their work as those who develop vaccines or study air pollution. Consider the case of Dr. Edward Teller, who had an obvious emotional involvement in promoting nuclear power plants. Did this involvement stem from a desire to benefit humanity? If so, then why didn’t Dr. Teller get emotional about other “humanitarian” causes? If he was such a humanitarian then why did he help to develop the H-bomb? As with many other scientific achievements, it is very much open to question whether nuclear power plants
actually do benefit humanity. Does the cheap electricity outweigh the accumulating waste and the risk of accidents? Dr. Teller saw only one side of the question. Clearly his emotional involvement with nuclear power arose not from a desire to “benefit humanity” but from a personal fulfillment he got from his work and from seeing it put to practical use.
89. The same is true of scientists generally. With possible rare exceptions, their motive is neither curiosity norva desire to benefit humanity but the need to go through the power process: to have a goal (a scientific problem to solve), to make an effort (research) and to attain the goal
(solution of the problem.) Science is a surrogate activity because scientists work mainly for the fulfillment they get out of the work itself.
90. Of course, it’s not that simple. Other motives do play a role for many scientists. Money and status for example. Some scientists may be persons of the type who have an insatiable drive for status (see paragraph 79) and this may provide much of the motivation for their work. No doubt the majority of scientists, like the majority of the general population, are more or less susceptible to advertising and marketing techniques and need money to satisfy their craving for goods and services. Thus science is not a PURE surrogate activity. But it is in large part a surrogate activity.
91. Also, science and technology constitute a power mass movement, and many scientists gratify their need for power through identification with this mass movement (see paragraph 83).
92. Thus science marches on blindly, without regard to the real welfare of the human race or to any other standard, obedient only to the psychological needs of the scientists and of the government of ficials and corporation executives who provide the funds for research.

EDIT:
made it look a bit prettier

@@aldoushuxley5953 Wish he had put forward his belief as sort of a counter culture instead of becoming a criminal.

@@MuhammadRaiyan135 yeah, me too.
I doubt anybody would have read the manifesto without the bombings though.

Idk if my sister and I are just weird but we were talking about this case and she said “If you did that I’d turn you in.” And I said “I’d do the same”

my brother and i are not close at all

Yeah I do really miss their unsolved series:(

They have puppet history

cedits_.s are they not doing it anymore?

@@monkeydoodle7805 I have no idea, all I know on what they're doing right now is Watcher and Puppet History. I got no idea if season 6 and or 7 is coming out. Either way, I miss my ghoul boys doing True Crime/Supernatural

I think Ryan’s researching for a new season rn, he posted on his IG story ^^

W grandma

And he was only a teenager at the time; even though he was super smart his brain was still developing at that time, he had probably only just had puberty.

I guess that the professor want,making people feel suffer cuz of him and mentally sick

@@advshreeyaketkar5299 aww why would you say that? That's rude and I think untrue. World doesnt get what it wants or is ready for, world and the people in it just.. exist

Imagine the things he could have used his brain power to do if he hadn't been completely destroyed by the sick psychological experiment

@@allymog5228 the sick psychological experiment is modern society.

True

you say that as if we'll ever evolve to that point like we're not overly comfortable in our condition

If you want to watch one about him you can check out biographics video about it

Helter Skelter is currently airing

the guy from up?

brad pitt and a pit bull

oh the singer?

I was thinking maybe he unbombed places

That sounds like a nice story!

Danae Baragar it sounds possibly worse

He just walks up to an explosive package, picks it up, and leaves.

NotSkeptic he’s just a really good guy who rebuilds places that have been bombed

wouldnt have even gotten close to the prez.

lbr here, Linda was the mvp. David would never have done it if not for her.

I have a 1 murder policy with my family. I'll help you cover up 1 murder but that's it!!!!!

Easier said than done homie

Ur a chump snitch

You're disgusting, Ted was a hero damn it.

Absolutely false. True Psychopaths are born. They have a physical deformity in their brain that they are born with. No cure.

@@deeprollingriver52 Think of it like hanging a picture on a wall you know is flimsy. If you add to the stress of the flimsy wall by adding a frame, it will crumble and break eventually. In a similar way, even if someone is born with a deformity in their brain, outside influences can only add to the physiological damage. And drive someone who may not have done anything terrible, to do terrible things. NO human being comes out of the womb with a desire to kill.

Wdym? Is it well written?

It really is quite a read.

@@flarebear5346 the actual writing is pretty terrible amd incoherent but it's clear he had incredibly advanced ideas that he could not quite articulate. Definitely worth a look but its not entirely refined

@@MitchOrangeHoarder he made a better one

Personally, I think a lot of the ideas / points he attempted to articulate were quite interesting, and while it’s not necessarily well written, there’s a reason that the manifesto sparked a ton of discussion during the time surrounding it’s release.
Honestly, a lot of the thoughts he had about technology having the potential to become all consuming within society were accurate. I really think if he had chosen a less violent path to advocate his thoughts we could have achieved a much more balanced relationship with technology.
We’re so dependent on our tech, it’s interesting to imagine what the world could have been like had someone drawn attention to the many concerns before those side effects started appearing visibly in the population.

What discredits him is the fact he killed innocent people.

@@nelixsulu6201 to be fair he killed less people in his life then US government did in a week.
