It is gibberish because it is the result of a bitter, angry paranoid mind.

Why bother to read it? Perhaps to understand Kaczynski? But why, really? Isn't it enough to accept that he's insane and criminal? There is undoubtedly better reading available.

Some people can "get into the mindset" of other persons. That ability is both a gift (helps understand the other's motivation) and a curse (often it's a demented mind - a sick viewpoint). One either has that ability or doesn't. Some FBI profilers are good at this. Usually people with broader experience and open minds are better at it.

The lesson to be learned from reading such madness is summed up by the Roman writer Terence:

"I am a man and nothing human is foreign to me." (L. "Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto")

Montaigne had the saying inscribed on his library ceiling.

Most who, out of curiosity, examine the writings of psychotics such as the Unabomber or Marquis de Sade reject them as incomprehensible. "Understanding" requires the ability to temporarily suspend one's own beliefs and to accept those of the demented individual. But you can see the danger; to accept the individual's beliefs fully would make _you_ mad.

In the end you'll find that the time spent trying to understand would be better spent elsewhere. There are so many examples of deranged persons' writings and they all lead to little more than headaches. On the other hand some exposure to such writings might make it easier to accept what Terence said. Once you accept that, you won't ever be surprised by what you read or see again.
