his one act play "ship of fools" is underappreciated as a guide to his mindset. he inserts himself into the story as a cabin boy who's obviously smarter than everyone else because he wants the ship to "turn around" while the fools on board quibble about social relations. there's no mention of what destination he proposes to reach by turning around, that's just an end in itself, justified by the fact that is not "onward." Ultimately it doesn't matter; what matters in the story is Ted and his "courage" in taking on the fools

Also in that story the whole LGBTQ community is portrayed as a guy who wants the right to, as he puts it, suck cocks.

So yeah, a pretty cool and normal dude all around.

he signed up to be a participant in a psychological experiment at Harvard in the early 1960's, that was definitely not a good decision

In his defense, he didn't know it was part of MK-ULTRA.

FBI Profiler noting that his psychology Phd is pulsating like the triforce: Hm. A timber industry lobbyist, killed by a wooden bomb. Im gonna say uhhhhhh.... this is uhh...... not...? a coincidence? Its likely that the suspect has an affinity with wood, or a pile of wood. Hey may have access to trees.

PRetend you are a netflix exec, looking for the next binge watch show... youre rich and powerful and your #1 nightmare is a bomb ending the party early:

Imagine white osama bin laden with young sheldon IQ in a hoody + sunglasses. And iamgine if the joker (Batman: Dark Knight) had his mind hosed up by MKULTRA, CIA so bad he forgets his sense of humor and he just moves into a isolated shed.... yeah. Hes out there all day in a weird shed, cooking up bombs out of nothing but wood, tree sap, nails, bomb chemicals, etc. like the hero (villain?) of breaking bad. And he uses a special math theorem, to turn the post office and mail system, into his own personal US air force. And he puts the hoody of his hood up so its too hard to recognize him when he goes to mail his bombs.

The FBI could not catch him.... and this was the real FBI (silence of the lambds FBI) from the 90s not the millenium FBI (9/11/2001 FBI)... This isn't the type of hosed up nick toons they were showing back then, it was real. Mad Men in the 90s. House of CArds with a beard in a shed. Batman and robin are fake poo poo for movies, like hannibal lecter and criminal psychology... the FBI is about to learn that timothy mcveigh's bomb may as well be the 1993 world trade center bomb, compared to the "9/11 of serial bombers".... UNBABOMBER

I am hoping to be doing that as my real job one day (coming up with web shows and other creative ideas), which is why this post is tighter than normal.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

My god if he projected any harder he'd be a Zeiss. Also reminder that:

quote:

In 1980, chief agent John Douglas, working with agents in the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, issued a psychological profile of the unidentified bomber. It described the offender as a man with above-average intelligence and connections to academia. This profile was later refined to characterize the offender as a neo-Luddite holding an academic degree in the hard sciences, but this psychologically based profile was discarded in 1983. An alternative theory was developed by FBI analysts that concentrated on the physical evidence in recovered bomb fragments. In this rival profile, the suspect was characterized as a blue-collar airplane mechanic

How isn't it immediately obvious to anyone that this was written by a STEM academic. How could there be any doubt with sentences like "Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem" e: or with the constant relying on "common sense" answers to "soft sciences" questions rather than a shred of reference to any academic work

I'm sorry but this is unreadable drivel and the guy's brilliance was seriously oversold. I'm sure it was novel back then but tell me you haven't read a hundred rants just like this, sometimes word for word, on random nerd hobby forums

There isn't a single citation for the many bold claims he makes [in fields in which he has zero qualifications], he's just a random shitposter like any of us idiots. His bomb mailing campaign really was just a call for mainstream attention

[SOURCE] for my bold claims: takes one to know one

quote:

204. Revolutionaries should have as many children as they can. There is strong scientific evidence that social attitudes are to a significant extent inherited. No one suggests that a social attitude is a direct outcome of a person’s genetic constitution, but it appears that personality traits are partly inherited and that certain personality traits tend, within the context of our society, to make a person more likely to hold this or that social attitude. Objections to these findings have been raised, but the objections are feeble and seem to be ideologically motivated. In any event, no one denies that children tend on the average to hold social attitudes similar to those of their parents. From our point of view it doesn’t matter all that much whether the attitudes are passed on genetically or through childhood training. In either case they ARE passed on.
