Is this just eerie as all hell, utterly insane, or something to admire? - by Queue

As someone who almost comitted suicide back in time, and still experiencing a depressive mood, I still consider the decision of ending his life questionable.

Nope, you misunderstood. That was the least he could do if he was convinced of doing such thing. If you read a bit in the "death" section of the website, he basically did it because he feared illness and losing his reason as consequence of aging too much, and also because he felt there was nothing more he could achieve in his life

Where's all the sadness coming from? I don't see a lot of it on his website. Sure, he was a bit of a weirdo and admits it himself, there's this control obsessiveness about him, and the cocky attitude of refusing to disappear without leaving a trace, but many of us exhibit the exact same traits, only we're usually not as honest or liberated as he was.
I find what he did pretty rad, although he ruined suicide as a hip thing to do a bit. His logic is sound, his reasoning clear and the outcome overwhelmingly positive. It might be a bit difficult for his friends and family especially if the media start hounding them but the way he describes it makes me think it's not going to ruin anybody's life.

Now that's a
bit harsh :p . Not that Yakoob's comment wasn't.
But why bring up Tolstoy?
Because 'War and Peace' would be more accessible to the masses as a leaflet. Think of your audience, Leo, you old fuck.

I always wanted to have my funeral before I died.
Probably the biggest gathering in your honour in your life, and you aren't there to appreciate it. Where's the sense in that?

I hear you.
I might fake my own death :p

Ah thanks for clarification. That's also kinda understandable and honestly I am scared of that myself - if I get old and my mind goes bonkers or I loose all mobility... ugh, think I might just off myself if it's too bad. But then I got a few more decades to go (hopefully) so who knows how my thoughts will change by then.
