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.

You might be right it’s been a while since I read about him

I'm more interested in his work and analysis regarding the industrial-technological society than I am in conspiracy theories or even his crimes. I agree fundamentally that technology is gonna enslave us & dehumanize us. It already is happening.
To judge from the Internet postings that people have sent me, probably most of what you learned [about me] was nonsense.

Yeah we’re all already enslaved by technology and social media it’s turned into an addiction like a drug for some more than others. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs(when he was alive) seldom let their kids play with the very products they helped create
