In reply to the discussion: CIA CHILD ABUSE circa 1959: Ted Kaczynski was a 3 year victim of MK Ultra starting at age 17 [View all]wnylib
(26,250 posts)34. What a bizarre sense of humor.
The example that I gave was only an illustration of the different ways that a college can act with students who have mental health problems. AFAIK, the student in my post had not threatened or expressed fantasies of killing people. But the college dealt with him far more ethically than Harvard did with the unibomber.
LSD, especially over long periods of time, can precipitate psychosis in persons with a genetic predisposition. Giving it to a young person who already has mental health problems is unethical and dangerous if not followed up by therapy.

the humor is directed at the absurdity of transposing all or even any of that on this terrorist

Absolutely. It was nauseating that psychos could get interviews on TV but do-gooders and victims never did

nonsense. Apparently, it also caused Kaczynski to earn his doctorate degree from U of Michigan

Kaczynski himself said the experiments had no significant effect on the course of [his] life"

lol. I'd reason every person who is driven to attack or kill someone is mentally ill to some degree

No problem with LSD. My shock was learning that a weird fringe program and weird fringe criminal had a nexus.

My view of it is a bit more subtle than thinking he was triggered decades later
