He went to Havard and got a PHD in mathematics. He had a short career as a researcher and professor. Later he bought a piece of land and became a hermit. But he was annoyed with society and sent people bombs, and published an article about contemporary world issues. He was eventually jailed.
A person distantly affiliated to me called the FBI on Kaczynski back when he was in society, saying this guy is FUCKIN dangerous and you really need to look into him. They said, well, he hasn’t actually done anything, so honestly there’s not much we can do.
Wasn’t he part of MK-Ultra so isnt the government is probably to blame for some of his antics
He was. His participation in MK-Ultra is documented and I think it’s a safe to conclude that that means the CIA probably fucked up his brain and/or traumatized him, and made him that way in the first place.
You went at school with Unabomber?
Sounds familiar
I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.
So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P

This also happened to me. I dropped out of game art & design school. Now I’m doing art and animation for a game dev company. I took the scenic route, but I got here eventually!
I’m still here.
Kidding! How do you determine who the smartest kid was?
Wait 5 second, they will tell you.

I mean we had a few that were al up there. From what I recall Jamie dropped out and had a couple of kids, Mark still lives at home 'cause he’s got no job and Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot. Jay committed suicide. Brandon OD’d and died.

It was me. I was the smartest kid in my class for most of school. Then I dropped out of college and now I fix cars for a living.
Not saying that’s a bad thing, the world needs mechanics and I’m paid well enough to live, but the sense of lost or wasted potential is overwhelming.
Honestly don’t know. In grade school we had a classmate who was always at the top of our entire batch. As expected she graduated as valedictorian. We all took the entrance exam for one of the coveted high schools and surprisingly she didn’t pass…and I got in lol. She kinda faded away after that. She’s probably fine though, just didn’t meet expectations going into high school.
Damn. That’s kinda why I’m not a fan of exams. People have test anxiety. In a lot of my math classes, some of the smartest people in there can’t take tests for shit because of so much test anxiety they have. This person probably had the qualifications to get in but unfortunate that the exam was too big of a hurdle.
He became addicted to drugs and fell off. Last time i heard anything off him, he lives in south america somewhere as a street performer and found love. So i dunno.
I went on to enlist in the military, got out after one enlistment, and eventually became a machinist and shipwright welder. I’m working on my SCUBA & underwater welding qualifications.
In a high-school out in the boondocks of Texas, I was easily the smartest kid. Everyone else was concerned with their parents farm, chores, football, and dating.
Nobody was interested in reading or higher education, and the teachers put no effort into encouraging students to reach higher.
She is currently a doctor, married, has a kid, and is doing quite well for herself.
They got a PhD in science from a well-known university and worked on research for a while. Last I heard, they got married and ended up selling real-estate.
Looks like he’s a Ph.D bridge engineer. Good on him.
He’s married, three kids, great wife, manages a team of salespeople.
She was my coworker, but I left her when I moved.
As far as my knowledge goes, she went to a private school then got pregnant with, like, 20 or 19-ish. Then she did lose a little control of her life. But I think that she might’ve been successful with her career and may have gotten her life under control.
I don’t know if she was the smartest kid, but she definitely got good grades. My class was honestly full of lazy people, including me. I’ve changed a lot, so I would say that I would now be the smartest kid, because I was one of the first who actually did realize how tough life is.
