"By the time I left high school, I was definitely regarded as a freak by a large segment of the student body." - Theodore Kaczynski, 1998. 

Theodore Kaczynski was born on May 22, 1942, in Chicago. As a result of his incredibly high academic excellence, he was accepted into Harvard University at an incredibly young age and earned a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts in mathematics. Though many outside people may speculate how Kaczynski was subject to a “highly stressful” psychological experiment here, Kacynzki himself and other FBI agents have explicitly stated the experiment had no such effect on the creation of the Unabomber. 

"Ted was a 'brain' to school-age children in our working-class neighborhood, where the word conferred status, but also a vague stigma since being too intelligent was linked to maladjustment, and most kids wanted to fit in. As a young child beginning to gauge social perceptions, I thought of my brother as smart, independent, and principled."

- David Kaczynski, 2009.
