Radiolab Critique, MKUltra and Ted Kaczynski

A segment from the podcast "Radiolab" is critiqued for its "herky-jerk" editing and its failure to explicitly link Harvard experiments to the MKUltra program. The story follows Professor Henry Murray's psychological torture of students, including a young Ted Kaczynski, codenamed "Lawful." The hosts argue that these traumatic experiments directly contributed to Kaczynski's later transition into the Unabomber.
