    Actually, it seems like he views himself as a MLK…

    From Mangione’s review of Ted Kaczinski’s book:

    Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life.

    It’s easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.

    He was a violent individual – rightfully imprisoned – who maimed innocent people. While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary.

    It’s just his standard for Malcolm was Kaczinski…

      Certainly. I’m not trying to argue with you about what this guy thinks of himself.
