I'm waiting for confirmation from TMZ

Fascinating.

Kaczynski got his Masters and PhD. degrees in Mathematics at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he became increasingly withdrawn.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Do you believe pot may have played a role in his behavioral changes?

No. I think it had to do with Ann Arbor being a very cold, unsupportive, unemotional, community.

It probably had to do with the psychological experiments he volunteered for… 3 years of repeated torture sessions…

Let's go to the tape, Ben.

"A significant portion of the document is dedicated to discussing left-wing politics, with Kaczynski attributing many of society's issues to leftists.[84] He defines leftists as "mainly socialists, collectivists, 'politically correct' types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like".

Everything is the leftists fault. Sounds like he would fit in perfectly here at the BuzzBoard!

Ann Arbor has long been an incubator of wacky thinking. In the Unabomber's case, the psychological abuse at Harvard preceded it. In Leopold and Loeb's case, wacky thinking in Chicago preceded it. So Ann Arbor is not the only place that helps turn geniuses into murderers. Berserkley and Madistan are others. There is the common thread of smugness in thinking that they are so smart that they can get away with murder.

I guess if you like living among arrogant "Valdictatorians" who think they're better than you, and always tell you how to live, and more than statistics would predict, become mass murderers, OK. Caution: Watch out for Criminal Justice Majors, especially those pursuing Ph.D.'s.
