Unabomber's ciphers A crazy but fascinating character. Sitting there by candlelight, encoding and decoding messages by hand. The guy was living in a strange mix of 10th century and the modern world. It took them decades to figure out the ciphers. The fact that they could means that they were weak. |

If you had read the article, you would see that they could only read them by finding the decoding cipher or instructions how to.
They did not technically crack the cipher or break or decode it. |

Just looking at that cipher table, he reminds me of that guy that drew every screw and bolt and tool found in a garage. High OCD or whatever high-level disorder he is affected with, but damn.
When people hear encryption today, they think modern supercomputers and stuff, not charting stuff by the candlelight. That's a very special level of crazy. Unabomb is the definition of mad genius I think. It's interesting to see that they only got him because he completely underestimated the human factor. Did not occur to him that someone would read the 30,000 word essay and figure him out. He could do advanced math but not something that simple. It's like he was emotionally retarded. High math IQ, retarded emotional IQ. |

I don't think anyone is worshiping him. Just understanding that there are people with insane amount of intelligence that don't always use it for good. I guess the thing that really points out his insanity - I think he was truly insane and not fit for trial -- is how do you go from his very logical "Manifesto" to blowing up computer store owners and such? There is no logical link. I read the Manifesto and it makes a lot of sense. What does *not* make any sense is anything he did since late 70's. When he did what he did, with mail and stuff, he lost all credibility. He could have been far more effective if hadn't turned to the dark side. BTW. The Netflix has an awesome series on him called the Manhunt. |

There were a couple of articles about the Unibomber on NPR recently. They nailed him because of peculiar diction he used in his manifesto that could be matched both in his published academic writing and letters to his brother.
The NSA was able to identify the creator of Bitcoin the same way, through his writing. |

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.

It took them decades to figure out the ciphers. I'm 46, so I remember when he was captured for reference. I just spent the last hour or so reading up on him and skimming his manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future." I wouldn't call him crazy, but rather immoral and unethical. Obviously, he has certain social hang-ups, that make him "off." However, many respected people have read his manifesto and deemed it to be no less sane than the works of Rousseau or Hobbes. ETA: Please don't take the above as any type of praise or even endorsement of the man. I was only speaking as to whether his writings were crazy or not. His actions certainly were. |

The fact that they could means that they were weak. They were only decoded after finding his key system. They tied up resources that could have been applied to other cases or other aspects of his case. Then of course there is the question of timeliness and usefulness of what was decoded. Just because the codes were deciphered doesnt mean they didn't serve their purpose. |

What a dumbass.
He went to all the trouble to encrypt everything he wrote for what? He wasn't communicating with anyone with encrypted writings. He was just doing it as mental masturbation. He had to have his key to write and read it. If he was so smart, why didn't he memorize the key? Like an arfcommer with an ammo fort, he did it for his comfort, not for his protection. |

Never knew much about the unibomber except that sketch of a dude with a hoodie and sunglasses.
Just got done reading the wikipedia page on him. This made me lol 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. |
