In terms of the actions he advocates, it's sick. One wishes that the clearly talented Kaczynski had used his talents to constructively make his vision possible, rather than pursuing that vision with destructive and useless means. There is lots of wilderness to live on, if he'd wished to do that! But instead, his actions and philosophy are like a rational mind falling apart due to a mental disorder. Only a few people ever understood what he was getting at after he published his manifesto, and as far as I can tell, they all disagree with him. I guess the 'mad professor' stereotype in movies, of the thin line between genius and homocidally insane, may contain a grain of truth. Hopefully, this can serve as a warning to people of today, so that they don't make the same mistakes. Intellectually, it is a powerful piece of writing.
