This comment was posted 46 minutes after a video that was posted 40 seconds ago dawg wtf 💀
I know this is kind of strange, but does anyone else think that the thumbnail looks like a movie poster with Kurt Russell starring in a movie about the unibomber?
Here before the government makes you take it down in the states, they don't like his story getting out.
We are living in the unibomber's worst dreams right now.
Yup.
The church is to blame.
@@Hex-Mas the churches arent the issue. The churches actually cared about nature and warned against unrestricted technological growth without proper consideration.
The new religion (that isn't called a religion) of critical theory, is the issue. It doesn't care about anything but power dynamics, intersectionality and whatever furthers it's own despicable and corrupt ideology.
Nightmare *
@@Hex-Masgod bless you
Considering the man's intelligence, his psychological struggles, and the amount of time he had to carry out his destructive ideas, it's actually a minor miracle he only killed three people over 17 years.
But the money this man single handedly made them spend a whole generation reconsider everything. But also forcefully increased our security ironically to be safer.
Over 17 years the amount of money spent from the government was insane.
Also a good example something similar was the guy that made his own tank to destroy business's. Cost is what they want to injure, not humans persay. The idea is the point.
Make a video about how Shell is running Nigeria for their oil and paying the military so the people cant stand up
@@MrHeroicDemonahh yes the armored tractor, love that story, even if it was a complete tragedy. That guy was pushed out of his auto mechanic business because of corporate greed.
@@MrHeroicDemon ...he put a bomb on a plane
Not bad for his unwilling MK-Ultra training
If you read the manifesto, you will be surprised at the level of insight he had in the modern world .
The guy had a 167 IQ which is well above “genius level.” Emotional problems aside, you’d think that someone that intelligent would have some valuable insight on a lot of things
Yup. It is spot-on. Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
After I read his manifesto, it became clear to me that he could see too much truth. It drove him mad. Probably due to the mk ultra experiments.
@@gregbors8364I agree with you.
Smart man made dumb decisions in how to implement them. You could almost say he was his first victim.
Ted is the perfect example of a guy with a good message but has terrible delivery (pun intended).
Oooof!!
Underrated
Don't shoot the messenger (or at least don't put him in solitary confinement for over a couple of decades).
This comment wins UA-cam today 😂
We wouldn't know this if he didn't do what he did.
His manifesto is an incredibly interesting read and he turned out to be right a LOT
woah there, enough of the double ungood wrongthink, pal.
Christian terrorist think alike.
@@DannyDelusion - (*Whoa).
Well, he was very wrong for thinking that bombing people would have been an appropriate solution to the problem.
Definitely an interesting read, and yes there are an incredible number of things he got right in that document. It's truly unfortunate he poured his energy into such useless destruction and violence. If he had instead channeled his time and anger into writing and publishing a book, then people's discussion of him now would be very different!
Imagine if he didn't join that experiment and just went on with his genius life. He'd probably be an expert somewhere starting another field to save the woodlands he love so much.
I was very sad to read his manifesto and realize how intelligent he was. what a tragic waste of a life. My heart goes out to his victims.
F his "victims".
If only his packages got to the correct persons. Then it wouldn't be so bad..
@@tasteskill5649 Like who?
There are genius's born often, just depends what they do with their life.
Some play chess, and is the best. Some try and help with the hardest equations or 100-1000 year unsolvable maths. Genius's are born everywhere, some find way to keep themselves from being bored, thats all. All humans dont want to be bored.

I never knew why he was named the unabomber. I always thought it was because he was a one man team (UNI-bomber). I didn’t realize it meant university-airport bomber
I actually thought that as well....for quite a while.
I still don't really get it. There's no A in university.
@@compugasm U - university
N - abbreviation for the term "and", pronunciation is basically the same
A - airport (or airliner as someone replied)
I thought he was called the Uni-Bomber because he bombed Universities. I did'nt know he also bombed airports and planes.
@@gregbors8364 O.K. but my point still stands. I did'nt know he did that, hence 'Uni-Bomber'.
The scariest part is that he was right about a lot of things. He just went about it the wrong way.
Was it really wrong though?
Did he ❓. People took notice , we need to . ❗️
Did he? Can you think of a better way ?
Idk if it was wrong, I'd say he didn't go far enough. I wish he would have been better with explosives and never caught.
@@Akhen. there is no better way, because something HAS to happen. Otherwise the Human Beeing will never Change. Its so fckn Obviously.
Kind of off topic. But people always imply that having no electricity or running water in a cabin in Montana is insane. That's just the way it us up there. Especially starting out. You're pretty much on your own out there. Eventually homesteaders cobble together systems. Sometimes not. Usually it's several homeowners who will co-opt together to construct and maintain a shared system. My sister and brother in law are as normal as normal can be. One works in hotel management, the other for National Parks. Just on the outskirts of Big Sky. It took them 3 years to build a pipeline from a mountain spring to share with a neighbor. They're still on solar and generator to this day.
I think that's the polar opposite of insane
Our properties in both Wyoming & Alabama are off-grid.
No more insane than most 😊
Wow I live very close to your family in MT. And YES it's not at all uncommon for kids to be raised off grid, hunting elk by 12, Montana is just different.
Well like you say your sister and them are normal and part of that is the community aspect. Ted's being a hermit that cut off ties to everyone is what made him more insane to me, not his geography or lack of utilities.
Oh I guess they're crazies huh?
"During the production...of this very video."
That gave me such chills, dude. I don't even know why.
So, it all began with those psychological experiments he was subjected at college.
It wasn't just psychological, they were secretly testing LSD on him. This is well documented. Not sure why he skipped that part in the video...
Good ol harvard somehow swept that under the bridge bet they wanted to forget that one. Doesn't look so good to go from making/introducing geniuses to destroying them. But don't jokes pay their childrens way into harvard now a days? Honestly where are our current big geniuses like before? I don't blame them for hiding, after how we have treat them, and how no matter the good they make we always turn it bad. oppenheimer for example. Stupid people use destruction, smart people find alternatives. Says a lot about our current world leaders huh, no wonder geniuses just stopped trying to better the world... I wonder what our timeline would look like if tyler didn't under go those experiments to become the unabomber. Smarter than einstein ffs, he could of done a lot of good...
He got mkultra'd into the plot of terminator 2.
Not just any studies. It was part of a CIA program that used subjects as lab rats to break them mentally as part of their experiments around interrogations
His manifesto was eye opening.
In my mind he will always live on in the SNL skit of his college reunion in shackles brilliantly played by Will Ferrell.
America’s Worst Nightmare? - Our government has that one covered thoughty2.
Love your videos though!! I’ve seen them all.
Lol, the govt is just the tool. Look beyond the handle and at the hand who holds it; that is where the nightmares are fueled.
Agreed, politicians are many people's nightmare the worst of the worst right there!
American Government killed millions of soldiers and civilians in unjust wars like Vietnam and Iraq. People are so so so stupid.
Lmao
@@erwins_armour government had that one covered with him too since they are DIRECTLY responsible for every one of Ted’s killings
Another classic example of a creation of the “Em Kay Ultra” program.
Never underestimate the ability of government to turn normal humans into murderous monsters for their own ends…
@@NaesGalaxydefinitely *
@@NaesGalaxythey do shitty stuff too. Two things can be true
What a shame you know... imagine the good he could have done with that mind.
And the industrialists who could have profited from his work.
What good? If he just spoke out against industrialists and oil barons he would have had a slander campaign against him, funded by billionaires. Nobody would have died, but no good would have came from it either
@maven YGO exactly. He probably knew what he was doing and was willing to face the consequences of his action. If he just went on a protest and spoke against the big shots, most people would've just dismissed him as a crazy lunatic and discredit all his credentials. Sometimes people go for extreme measures just to be heard.
One might wonder how well he would have been received if he had been invited to give a TED talk.
If it's ome thing I like, it's when an individual outsmarts the government
Another good example of how intelligence and wisdom are 2 different things.
The Unibomber was a brilliant student from I think Harvard when the CIA did mind control on him.
That’s documented.
MK Ultra. He was a victim of the CIA's mind control experiments, called MK Ultra.
MK Ultra was the name of the CIA program
Yep. They can manufacture school shooters or terrorists as needed.
@@TerryMcQ79 it was project paperclip before that. CIA has some some shady stuff/
The fact that he died while you were working on this video is really eerie.
Same, when he said that I got chills😬
The Unabomber gave the world a new perspective through illegal violence. 😂
Its too bad, given his level of intelligence, he could have contributed to making the world the better place that he wanted in a more positive way. Despite all that, all his fears and premonitions weren't completely unfounded, either. Which is kinda scary
That ending was crazy, absolutely epic. This whole story was eerie but interesting.
So it was Thoughty2 who finally killed off the Unabomber.
Perfect timing! Thank you for being the most consistently brilliant source of education on UA-cam!
He's good but not the most brilliant on UA-cam 😮
Wow, Thoughty2, you're not liking very many of the other comments. What gives?
@@TeSolycMandalor He can't just start to like all the comments in his video, he probably has something to do
Bot.
@@moxictasculinity 🤖Thank you
Funny, just a couple days ago I got a recommendation about the Unabomber.
Now this.
Violence is wrong, but Ted was right.
he was feared because he dared to tell the truth
No, it really was the random murders that caused the fear. I hope someone is monitoring you closely. Salivating over a murderer is a big red flag
@@bbbb98765 who's salivating? I said the message was important, and never glorified the means. I hope you learn that ideas and people are complex and not as black and white as "murderer is 100% wrong"
@@bbbb98765 dont even need to be a murderer they are already spying on you
When I was in high school I had a UNABONGER t-shirt - the famous sunglasses and hoodie sketch but with a smoky bong held in his hand. It flew under the radar for a while but eventually someone noticed it and I got in trouble. Worth it, that shirt was hilarious.
RIP Uncle Ted.
You forgot to mention that he was separated from his parents as a baby due to an allergic reaction to some medicine. This had a major impact on his character development
The Unabomber plead guilty to his charges instead of going for an insanity defense because he didn't trust psychologists after the psychological torture he went through while in Harvard. I guess I can't blame him for being wary around psychologists after going through that hell.
They have neural monitoring capabilities and can literally read your thoughts
Bullshit, it's because he didn't want to be labeled insane which would negatively impact his message.
Stop making up shit
"bespoke verbal abuse" had me in stitches
Whiplash if it took place in Electric Shock Therapy.
BRILLIANT, as always... whoever does the investigations, like whoever does the graphic design, deserves SO MUCH creditS... CONGRATULATIONS
Somehow (and a bit perplexing) you left out of this story a key bit of his famous identity and how it came to be. The hoodie and sunglasses.
Also left out the whole thing about the government testing LSD on him. Those weekly sessions weren't just to yell at him, they were drugging him, and have admitted to such.
r.i.p Teddy K.
I feel like Thoughty2 reads bedtime stories to his moustache each night before bed.
He was correct though.
What happened to the unethical professor who destroyed him and then set him loose on society in the first place?
I was hoping you'd touch on the Harvard studies, and I wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to more of your fantastic content. Keep up the great work!
uncle ted was so right went about it the wrong way but HE WAS RIGHT
What's the right way to deal with psychopaths who want to kill and enslave you? I'm all ears.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 well how would of you dune it ???? im also all ears as i dont wanna end up on some watch list unlike you
He could've done a Ted Talk 😁
@@huwhitecavebeast1972just say nuh-uh
I still don't see what's not right. Isn't this what our military does on a like bi monthly period? Accidently bombing civilians knowing full well the potential outcome of dropping said bombs on cities, but then saying it couldn't be avoided accidents happen the means justify the end no? No one gets into trouble for it really. I mean shit, if the means don't justify the end wtf is our military doing? This is just the conflicting paradox of tribalism people don't like to think about and can fuck things up fast, since well then people become people not an ideology. If their is one thing ted had it was true freedom, he lived how the state lived and saw his vision and tried to make it true just how our government tries pushing it's views on the rest of the world... lol
Now don't get me wrong i am against violence i try and solve everything in my own life with pacifism and understanding. I find it absolutely heinous what they both have done, it's just depressing to see how everyone condemns someone while protecting another from the same exact thing. With no variable differences yet they so ignorantly wish to believe their is. Denials the first stage right?
He was brilliant & our govt dosed him w massive amounts of LSD wout him knowing. They literally created the guy
Was that the government, or just the insane professor who should have been shipped off to the funny farm decades ago?
It is that insane professor's fault for turning into a terrorist. Those experiments most likely caused him really terrible trauma and because of the trauma he seeked revenge and resorted to violence.
@@nigeldepledge3790who do you think told the professor to do it?
@@factsdontlie4342 - you've obviously never tried to tell a university professor what to do . . .
@@nigeldepledge3790 He wasn't given lsd, this is an often repeated mistake - like on Rogan...
I remember a friend quaking in his boots at receiving a letter with grease stains and something solid inside it. Having had a few beer's I said don't be silly and smashed it on the counter .. it didn't go off. A few days later he came at me mad as hell. It turned out that inside the envelope was a pancake with a girls telephone number on it. Folks were so paranoid in them days :-) I must admit that I am glad that it didn't go off else I would have missed this most sublime and brilliant portrayal of what it is to have a sense of humour 🙂
Capitalism is, not him
I wonder if him being a test subject affected him mentally somehow.
It’s nuts how people can become the evil they hate
I will never forget the day my 3rd grade teacher brought her old yearbook in and we found out he had been one of her classmates…
Last February my class and I had to make a presentation about a serial killer, my group got this man. If this video had been made half a year earlier it would’ve been great to use as a source. Love the interesting topics you pick up❤
*Not going into details concerning his manifesto?*
*You don't have to agree with his methods, but his manifesto had a lot of truth in it.*
I can relate to the debilitating and paralyzing feeling of dread and hopelessness opening a package or a box, but Alibaba has made leaps and bounds in recent years.
While what the Unabomber did was unequivocally wrong, if he hadn’t have done it, we wouldn’t be discussing him or his manifesto / philosophy right now
it is really sad that it´s true :/
thats exactly why he did it
I don't think what he did was wrong.
Pretty much, he does explicitly say he only did the bombings not to hurt people, but to help gain awareness of his movement/manifesto. He actually says that people would rather watch TV shows than read it, hence why he did it. He isn't wrong either.
I would never snitch on my brother, I would hand him a list 😂
same
absolute same lol
That’s crazy all of it, especially the coincidental death during production. Good video as always very entertaining and informative keep it up
Having watched the Netflix documentary, he struck me as a neurodivergent boy who was tortured into mental illness. He was prophetic in some ways, but a monster.
That outro wink takes on an entirely different meaning after talking about how someone coincidentally commited hara-kiri while the video you made about them was in production...
That thumbnail isnt the Unabomber, its the Dude. (Big Lebowski)
Rip Uncle Teddy
Thoughty2 I am binge watching loads of your older vids. You are probably the most intelligent UA-camr I have ever seen doing videos. Keep it up!
The irony of hundreds of commenters saying "Well, he was right" -saying it by TYPING IT IN THE COMMENTS OF AN INTERNET VIDEO WEBSITE.
That shack in Montana was about 80 kilometers away from where I'm sitting right now.
Expat? You guys use km in Montana? 😂
I LOVE how this channel teaches me everything I need to know about everything I didn't know I needed to know! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ted was right.
Thank you for the upload, Arran.
I was born in 85 so i grew up hearing about the unabomber. That infomous hoodie with dark glasses was synonymous with (almost) my everyday living
Another case of genius being accompanied by madness. When his "manifesto" was delivered, I don't remember whom he sent it to, there was a debate about whether to publish it. I argued immediately that they should publish it because this was how he was going to be caught. I don't have a sixth sense or anything but it's happened before and I figured someone would recognize either his rhetoric or his writing style.
I watched a film about the unabomber and he was right about almost everything.we are destroying the beautifulness of the planet.when anyone challenges the system they call them mad are a criminal.thankgod things are coming to light now.
They call him a criminal because he killed and maimed innocent people. There were other ways to spread his message.
@jackmason5278 yes but governments do worse and get no repercussions.
You had me with the Kardashians joke😂😂
I find it hard to believe a guy with great hair like that would be so salty..😂
excellent as always!
Gov did it not him
"Short of sitting there in a fooking 'I'm the UNABOMBER' T-shirt..." Thanks for making me laugh!!
Found your channel a week ago and I can’t stop watching
I'm delighted to have watched you over the years and just seeing you evolve. It's wonderful. You're doing a great job
You were too good about today's news media, dude. Too good! 😬
16:15 a coincidence indeed. I know you can make videos like they're nobodies business but it felt like this video was released too early after his death to say you started working on it then.
Brilliant video as always!
There's a thin line between genius and insanity. A razors edge.
Oh thank goodness Aaron, everyone and their sister is currently doing Oppenheimer documentaries. Glad you’re not like them and keeping it unique.
Ted.was right about a lot of stuff (obviously not the whole package bombing thing). He has described pretty well the dystopian hell we call modern society
Modern society is not a dystopian hell though.
@@soundscape26 Get help
He is pretty much my hero. I've read his manifesto several times.

The Unabomber Manifesto was the most accurate documents ever written.
"...during the production of this very video" got me.
I’m 67 and have lived like him for the last 20 years. Now totally off grid although I have treated myself to a satellite thing for the Internet . . I notice how anger rises in me when there is traffic or walkers ,who constantly chatter wrecking the piece . From a mile away . The guy was right , and made people aware . I totally see why he had such hate . If you destroy my world I’ll wreck yours.. and honestly if there weren’t people like him would we be bothered about environment . And how many do we kill to keep our fuel tanks full .
And when they manage to link computers to the plant internet . My moneys on the billion year old system ..
Do you have money?
I don't need money
Kaczynski primary premise in his manifesto was that technology is taking over people's individual lives, in 90's 🤔
I remember thinking at the time he was a madman...
I just realized what I have my face glued to... 😳
16:27 That is a creepy coincidence. +Thoughty2 nails another great one-liner, "wearing a t-shirt 'I'm the f*ing Unabomber'" 😂
Its sad that the smartest often get bit crazy. But good for me, will never be crazy then
I understand why he was offended with the crazy plea. He wasn't crazy, he was pissed off at a world that constantly fucked him over.
Yeah but normal people don’t do terrorist bombings in retaliation for that
Just read his manifesto and you will understand why he was pissed off and actually totally correct about it...
The reason why he didn't plea insane was that that way all he had done could've been brushed off as acts of a madman, with no good (or sane) reason behind the bombings. The video didn't tell the whole story, according to which he actually was clinically insane.
@@fathergascoigne6104 nobody said he was a normal person
Wish people will stop calling people crazy like a ignorant ass
I remember the Unibomber but I never knew the whole story. Very interesting and terrifying
If you're really interested in his story you should read "Harvard and the Unabomber: The Education of an American Terrorist"
It's not like other books about Kaczynski, which are almost all about his crimes, his arrest and the trial... ...it's always the same - "This "crazy guy went to live in some remote mountain cabin in in Montana and plotted his crimes". They're all the same story repeated 100s of times
Of course his life in cabin is also covered but the primary focus is on the formation of his thoughts, his education at Harvard and his participation there in some, let's say unusual, psychological experiments conducted by "reputable" scientists...
(and a lot of other crazy things. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start reading)
...and how much all of that played a part in shaping a mind of this already unique character.
It's truly a great read.
Who is he? I haven't heard of him.
I've been watching you for 2 years and I just noticed you have a ton of subscribers 😂❤ Go you!! 🎉
For a moment i thought it was Connor McGregor 😂😂
gotta respect the security guard at 8:33 like a bomb literally just exploded yet he still survived and took it like a champ
He was a hero.
I can't watch, but I'd love to know if they gloss over our government dosing Harvard students w LSD
Dang Thoughty2!!! I was laying there listening and the end of this one got me! Wow! What an eerie coincidence indeed! I love your show man! 🫶🏽💙🤘🏽👏🏽🤌🏽
Sad to know that his claims of technology destroying humanity is truly happening realistically today. Everyone is suffering from the bad effects of technology today 😢
how am I suffering?
