Suicide Note
Quote:
Quote:
Has anyone else heard about this story or read his epitaph? His suicide note was a novel consisting of over 1,900 page. Some have called it the single greatest philosophical work of the 21st century. I recommend downloading it. While his ideas may seem far from the norm at times, he raises some very interesting points and thoughts about life, death, religion, society, and basically everything else that we deal with during our lifetimes. |

Very interesting. I'd not heard of this, which apparently proves a great deal of the forward of his book regarding free speech.
I've downloaded it, and will be reading it for the next little while.

He managed to pursue his rationalism and egotism so rigorously that it led him to believe that killing himself in front of dozens of people would be a good idea. One small finger-motion for man, one giant leap backward for mankind.

I'm definitely keen to read this. Add it to the list of library books I have to read too.
I think it's incredible what he did.
