I want to live somewhere distant, completely isolated from humankind. A cozy cabin in the woods perhaps, but if anything; the void would be a perfect place for me.

A cozy cabin in the woods like Ted Kaczynski’s

Did you read his manifesto? It's right on point.

Yes I did, and yeah it is...what that psychologist Henry A. Murray did to him while at Harvard using him as a test subject to study what stress on the human psyche was nothing more than legal psychological torture

Has Ted said anything about those experiments on him?
In his manifesto, where he talks about the "power process" and how modern humans are deprived of it via the techno-industrial society and how this causes many psychological problems is fascinating.

To use a 16 year old as a guinea pig for a psychological experiment on what stress does to the human psyche is pretty sadistic he would go on to describe it as the worst experience of his life

Just being a 16 year old at Harvard had to be stressful enough in itself
Yeah I couldn’t even imagine being at Harvard at 16. Ohh I was wrong he was actually 17 not 16 when they experimented on him

He did go to Harvard at 16 but the Murray psych tests were probably administered later.
I think I read somewhere that Ted shrugged it off and didnt buy the theory that it affected him in the long run. But it's been a while and my memory may be faulty.
