I know the tendency to mythologize serial killers and terrorists is disgusting—serial killer TV shows and movies are sure-fire hits, which is a pretty dark insight into human nature. (I mean, Netflix is like half serial killer shows now.) And trying to generalize and overanalyze and learn lessons from one-off instances of people snapping and killing is just not productive.
But…
…it’s hard not to mythologize and over-analyze Kaczynski. He had what appears to be a totally average suburban upbringing, he was unambiguously wildly intelligent, and yet he done broke bad.
