He is a complete asshole: judgmental, intolerant, bigoted, biased, lazy, foolish and violent.

Instead of doing things beneficial to humanity, like having a real job in lumbering, fossil fuels or transportation, he chose to build devices to ruin the lives of office girls who open the mail.  

Ted Kaczynski is just another Liberal, a Progressive, a Democrat, a Socialist.  He ran from having a real job, like a little kid running from the liver and onions truck.

Morally he is no different than Hillary Clinton, Charles Scumer, or any other Democrat.  Put another way: he and other Liberals are the moral equivalent of HIV.

Up his ass with broken glass.

Ted definitely took the black pill. He saw human life as full of trivial surrogate activities which is the cause of leftism and other psychological problems and the only way to truly end it was to get rid of technology so humans had real shit to concern themselves with, like getting food as opposed to who won a fucking emmy or who won a football game. He killed people to get his manigesto published, which it was published, to spread the message to everyone to go back to simpler times.

“According to the conventional wisdom, Theodore John Kaczynski, whose IQ while in the fifth grade was measured at 167, who became one of the youngest Harvard-educated STEM professors in America, and the man whom the FBI dubbed the Unabomber, was simply mentally ill—a paranoid schizophrenic. But the conventional wisdom is mistaken.

From the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962, Harvard psychologists, led by Henry A. Murray, conducted a disturbing and ethically indefensible experiment on twenty-two undergraduates. One of these students, whom they dubbed "Lawful," was Ted Kaczynski (Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber).

Murray's experiment was intended to measure how people react under stress. He subjected his unwitting students to intensive interrogation—what Murray himself called "vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, assaulting his subjects’ egos and most-cherished ideals and beliefs.

One wonders what effect these experiments had on Kaczynski, the brilliant but vulnerable boy who, in 1958, had entered Harvard College at the age of 16. Is it likely they confirmed his nascent belief in the evil of science and led to his decline into mental illness and murder?”

You take a vulnerable person and subject them to that... you just might create a monster.

He is a complete sociopath.  He is also a genius.  Prisons are full of people like him.  He is probably happier now in his tiny isolated cell in Florence super max than he has been his entire life.  He no longer has the burden of interacting with society and can instead read his books and write incessantly on the reams of paper provided to him.  A pathetic existence for the sane, but absolute bliss for someone like him.

Throughout the document, Kaczynski addresses leftism as a movement. He defines leftists as "mainly socialists, collectivists, 'politically correct' types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like,"[80] states that leftism is driven primarily by "feelings of inferiority" and "oversocialization,"[76] and derides leftism as "one of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world.

Likely as either filler/padding to meet certain keyspace requirements, random values to lessen the chance of an ENIGMA style decryption, possibly because it is just fun.

Dude was by most measures a genius when it came to mathematics. Things that are fun for some people, are term papers or a doctoral thesis for others.

Newton didn't re-derive calculus because he was bored, he did it to win a bet. Both Feynman and Von Neumann genuinely enjoyed high level mathematics.

Gonna assume you and others are not referring to a one-time pad that's short enough to memorize, because that would be ... really suboptimal.

I think we are talking about different kinds of keys here.  Y'all can keep your clever substitution ciphers (and keys).  They're fun, but weaken as more text is passed through (letter/atom frequency analysis). 

On the other hand, a truly different mind could come up with successive, ordered, and heterogeneous substitutions that made it more better.  Or maybe broke it. (Because unexpected flaw + math + computational power = wide open).  Who knows for sure.

Iirc his brother turned him in.

The Identification of person through his writing style is called stylometry. It does have it own sets of problems when trying to ID an anonymous person. You need prolific writing materials from the anonymous person as well as his writing when he used his real identity. In the case of the bitcoin creator those materials were available. Also there was only a handful people in the world at that time have the ability and knowledge to create cypto currency.  So it wasn't hard for the nsa to figure out who he was.

There is a documentary on netflix called banking on bitcoin. A person on the show ID the creator of bitcoin using stylometry. Of course when confronted if he is the creator of bitcoin he denied it.
