May the Schwartz be with you.

I doubt Prozac or heavy doses of lithium and therapy would have really improved his outcomes greatly. Maybe he would have spent another decade shitposting from an ALF or something.

Dude wasn't going to be able to cope with his own ideals and the world he was born into. Wonder if he had the benefit of faith and understood he didn't need to be the Teacher nor the christ himself.

Dude felt responsible for some reason. Maybe had more faith in science and thought he could heal the world.

I'm gonna tellya. I'm at no risk of being another Aaron Swartz. I don't have to fix humanity or creation anymore.

Thank Aaron Swartz for exposing those that keep information behind paid walls.

Pass. Aaron Swartz created reddit, which is a super retarded attempt to gatekeep information behind political leanings. He's probably in Gehenna.

You need to go back! Back to the Reddit.

Guy changed the world more than anyone you will ever meet. You just don't know it.

[Seducio]

I most likely disagree with the guy's politics. Who cares.

Everyone in this thread is using information he exposed.

He wasn't the first. Nor the first to die young.

"They" getchya wrapped up in contracts and legal and NDAs. He had access to the first layer of the science onion on the inside and he violated his contract with the devil.

I remember reading a lot about this when I was in his phase.

Science alone isn't enough. Nor is mans laws.

Guy killed himself because Feds were out to get him for exposing massive corruption in Academia. I'm surprised Christians aren't more engaged in his story.

I didn't realize he unearthed Philosophumena, and translated it from koine Greek, of aversus Celsius from Latin, or Learned Ignorance from Latin, or any number of works which my ideas follow in the tradition of.

Rip Aaron Swartz (PBUH)

Alan Sokal already did that 20 years earlier.

[Seducio]

He didn't do any of those things. He made it so folks smarter than you could actually research them.

[magnetaress]

Are you even so sure he killed himself?


Anyway. He exposed lies. Butt I can't tell you why or what his real ends where. What are you trying to say? He was a real hero who sacrificed his life for me?

I'm not so sure. He killed himself because of a crucial flaw in his own understanding of the world. He thought he could be a hero and win against the evil. Perhaps by himself. Why though? Did he want fame? Did he want to go to G-d and tell G-d look how good he was? Did he want to avenge and vindicate a fallen comrad.

All rolling stones says he was a victim and mental illness is bad and blames the system. It doesn't even say that what he did was actually right. Probably because of liability.
