QuoteThe note is a "sprawling series of arguments that touch upon historical, religious and nihilist themes," his mother, Lonni Heisman, told the Crimson. She said her son would have wanted people to know about his work.
The complex note, divided into four parts, touches on Christianity, the Holocaust and social progress, among other topics, and mentions Harvard several times.
IvyGate calls the note "probing, deeply researched, and often humorous."

QuoteThis work contains a theoretical application of
sociobiology to politics. Simply discussing its theories
publicly can constitute an experimental test of liberal
democracy's original enlightenment claim to advance
freedom of rational inquiry.
dammit i forgot that i cant read shit like this
as far as I can tell, it's not that difficult of a read marck, skip a bit to "God is Technology" to see what I mean
I'm enjoying it
Yeah it doesn't seem so bad there. I might read through a few chapters but I've never read anything more than 700 pages and that took me a summer so fuck
im not reading it because thats exacly what these suicidal people want and im not going 2 be part of their bullshit!

I'm just gonna pretend I read some of it
hey wow this is good stuff; smart guy here

Now if only all the other intellectuals/pseudo-intellectuals could do the same. I'm sorry that was mean.
