Yeah, as I understand it the Unabomber was politically motivated terrorism. He also had the distinction of being a pretty smart guy, which is unusual for the demographic that gets into mass murder.

- andreasvc 11y agoYou listed two serial killers with a high IQ; however, the merits of IQ can be debated, but more importantly Kaczynsky stands out because he holds a PhD and was a Berkeley professor.

I actually thought it was fairly common for mass killers (other than those whose mass killing is confined to a single mass casualty attack / killing spree), if for no other reason than not being smart makes it more likely that you get caught before your killing reaches the level of "mass".
