Ted Kaczynski, a man known for his bombings sent via mail and hand-delivered, more so than his intelligence. Ted attended Harvard at 16, and went on to get his PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. The Ted’s influence of psychological development seems to stem from more environmental factors than that of heredity. From the days as a baby in the hospital in seclusion with the measles to the research studies he participated in while attending college. The lack of ability to “fit” in, and the uniqueness within his personality, limited any type of social or family support. Trying to explain Mr. Kaczynski’s personality if far from simple.

In the end, there was just one Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. Ted was a smart man, he skipped grades 6 and 11, and started attending Harvard University at the age of 16 (Ted 2 of 3). While at Harvard in 1958, he participated in a multi-year psychological study which was said to have had a negative impact on him. Ted was a professor at UC Berkeley for a few years, the youngest there at the time. He never had a significant relationship with a woman (Ottley 11 of 15). He was against “societal progress” and was against technology, hence why he isolated himself in the cabin in the woods of Montana (Ted 2 of 3). Ted Kaczynski was jobless and cutoff from the world, so he had to get the money to make and transport the bombs in some other way (Goldman 1 of 2). It turns out, his family was unknowingly supporting his bomb manufacturing by sending him checks. Investigators composed “detailed accounting of checks Kaczynski had received from his mother and brother from 1985 until 1995 and had established a correlation between when Kaczynski received checks and the dates of the bombings” (Goldman 1 of 2). Over the years Kaczynski’s family sent him about 17,000 dollars which was used to construct the bombs. Ted’s family has to live with the guilt and be haunted by the fact that unbeknownst to them, they funded their brilliant Ted’s bombing spree that killed and injured innocent people.
The categories used to describe the words of the Unabomber Manifesto gave us a greater understanding of the context with which we were studying. We decided that grouping the words into concepts of positivity, negativity, power or any other category based on the words we believed would assist in organizing it. We aimed to interpret if there was a deeper meaning to such words as we all chose them for a reason. To illustrate, when we saw words related to technology such as cameras and computers, we noticed that both collect information and process it. Giving extensive thought to these words gave them depth and whenever we saw these words again, we remembered what we associated them with originally. In terms of giving words meaning and association,
