Dude was a psychologist, and shot himself on the campus of Harvard.

Website he set up for posting the note. The note is a "sprawling series of arguments that touch upon historical, religious and nihilist theme"
"My last request is for this website to be kept up as is, free for access for all."

More of a book than a note. He was a wordy motherfucker I guess.

I thought this was going to be some total crackpot shit - and it probably is, but at least it seems well-researched and coherent. I read a bit of
the beginning and a bit of the very end. Seems interesting, though my patience and interest will, much like the author, die prematurely.
But, it does seem neat, and looks like it follows and extends upon some of the "god is dead" stuff from theologians trying to understand the
Holocaust. I don't remember it too well anymore, but I do remember finding a short (like, 120 pages, not 1200) book by Richard Rubinstein pretty
interesting. I think it's this one - http://www.amazon.com/Cunning-History-Richard-L-Rubenstein/d...

If it gets published I would read more, my eyes can't handle reading much on a screen. I was thinking how crazy it would be if this guy made created
some radical ( and sane) new ideas in the areas he touched on and then killed himself because of it. Like the gravity of his thoughts was too much,
but he was probably more crazy then anything.

So basically this guy offed himself so he could hopefully get his book published. Quite a stunt...

I read a bit of what this guy had to say... so he offed himself because liberal democracy leads inevitably to the death of biological humanity and the
birth of technological god?
Wacky son of a bitch.
