    Aren't we all shaped by the spaces we occupy?

    "We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want." "We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable." "We work with being, but non-being is what we use." — Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

    That is not an effective use of space.

    It is aesthetic, and probably a metaphor but not sure for what. I could probably come up with something if you gave me a minute. Maybe about the futility of life, or its overlooked common beauty, it's usually something about one of those. We had a downstairs bathroom window that was overlooked.

    Why does the FBI still have it sitting in an office somewhere? Does the US government usually just save everything related to cases, even long after the subject is dead?

    2026 and 1998 are different times. Kaczynski's pled guilty in 1998. The cabin is currently owned by a privately run museum.

    Huh, the article implies that the FBI still owns it... or am I misunderstanding?

    While the cabin itself now sits in the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Barnes’s photos are housed in the collections of major museums throughout the country, including the Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

    Because they absolutely love Ted Kaczynski, they didn't just take his cabin and put it in a warehouse, they painstakingly took it apart and built it back to exactly how it was before , all the way down to the placement of pens.

    This is pure speculation and has no basis in the case: Unibomber was a very smart guy. Math PhD. He was cryptic and went to great lengths to stay hidden He alluded the police for a decade plus. Numerous psych profiles were totally wrong. He was untraceable. His bombs were built from used scrap parts or simple manufactured parts. No tractability to point of purchase.

    Here is my speculation.
    They might have been looking for keys coded writing. Having the cabin intact to the nail would allow them to go back and look for the keys to read codes. A good key wouldn't be too hidden, it would be accessible and have a dual purpose. Book cyfer, I'd say a solar sun dial but that would be so complicated. Again the guy was a literal genus.

    See? The government would rather lock away a perfectly good cabin than help the homeless!

    If you read the beginning of his manifesto, he was way ahead of the curve for where we are now. Meaning the over use of technology and it destroying a sense of community.

    I want a canvas painting of this image nicely framed to hang inside my small warehouse that I built inside my wooden cabin. As a reminder that things aren't always as they seem.

    They relocated the whole cabin? Why?

    Why would Benihana-ing the place to a storage facility be of value? I get the sense that police, detectives, and the FBI are stupid.

    In the article linked to the post, it explains that Kaczynski's lawyers were the ones who wanted it originally removed from its location and preserved.

    In an effort to protect it from snoops and vandals, lawyers requested to have the cabin moved from its original site outside of Lincoln, Montana, to a nearby Air Force base.

    As the trial approached, the cabin became the focal point of his lawyers’ planned insanity defense. Only a madman, they argued, could have lived in such primitive conditions.

    If you think the reason is stupid, sure, but it wasn't the FBI that made it so important to a potential trial.
