Badass/criminal INTPs

[ENTP lurker]

Ted Kaczynski

His manifesto
Lots of Ti logic and search for hidden meanings throughout time.

I have seen this in badly socialized INTPs. They might end up being bit hostile and very bitter. (The opposite can be true in opposite circumstances)

I have gone same kind of period but not ever ending up being hostile or bitter I just was very lazy, panicked ending up zombie like condition.

Other examples?

Best to keep the Ti under control...

I agree that INTPs have a specific range of socialization that is best for them, which is a very good insight. Back onto the topic of criminal INTPs, I would say that an INTP isn't likely to become a criminal of they had only to little social interaction, not too much.

I didn't think so but he's basically the only criminal I could think of.

I'm not sure he's an INTP but there's this guy I read about in a book named Walter L Shaw. A genius inventor with 30+ patents to his name but incredibly naive. Ended up working for the mob (which his son, Walter T. Shaw joined) after getting ripped off by Bell after his patent money dried up. So, not a badass but definitely a criminal. He learned the hard way who the real criminals were in his life.

Reading about his life his thoughts and actions seem very similar to mine. But then again, I'm not 100% sure I'm INTP either.

Ted K is brilliant. Haven't you read his manifesto, Dr. House?

Brilliant to be sure, I was hooked a few sentences in years ago when I digested every morsel of it. Furthermore, I don't know that I found much to disagree with.

Only trouble is, and its kind of a show stopper, is mother nature/ God whatever has got to run its course in regards to plans for planet earth. His Ti IMO took him so far down the rabbit hole in this regard he became stuck in a self defeating, negative feedback sorta loop wherein TK actually thought he could do something about these larger forces at work. Puny human.

TK may have been more of an INTJ in some particular manifestations of his thinking and associated behavior?

Got to keep Ti under control. Sorta like keeping oneself tethered to one's spacecraft or else risk drifting endlessly into the depths of outer space without means to breath.
