Sad. Didn't know the guy, but all reports of him gave me the impression of a brilliant, precocious Commie prick. Still, de mortuis nil nisi bonum.

It appears, though, that his Commie-hacker-whatever ideals landed him a federal indictment. I can sympathize: the Machine can crush any of us. Let this be a lesson to us all: when you make your pile, RUN AWAY and let the Machine eat itself. Don't fight the Man in his own jurisdiction.

Y'all can blame who you like for Aaron's suicide.

I believe that would be Aaron.

I blame Noam Chomsky, whose supercharged blue pills have devastated kilotons of innocent young brains as a regrettable side effect of winning Professor Chomsky enormous fame and wealth. The typical teenage victim knows, with every bone in his naturally rebellious body, that he's grown up in Plato's cave.

Ironically, Chomsky's probably better known than Plato among that demographic.
