from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review yet another non-alcoholic beer, then discuss Ted Kaczynski, aka The Unabomber, who recently died in prison. He was a genius. He skipped two grades, went to Harvard, and studied advanced mathematics. Unfortunately, he was an evil genius. Ted was a quirky guy who decided that technology and industrial society had to be destroyed. He worked for a few years to raise enough money to live in a shack in Montana. From there he started his terrorist bombing campaign. His crimes spanned from 1978 to 1995, with a 5-year gap in the middle. He got caught after his manifesto was published and his brother saw similarities between the manifesto and the ravings and letters of his brother.
