this is a very good question. if you read the letter he wrote it mentions facebook, the metaverse, and mark zuck, but it's just a rambling mess filled with insane conspiracy theory stuff.

Right, an absolutely batty manifesto. but what was his end game? He obviously is an intelligent person who managed to earn academic qualifications and credentials for his position. Does he have an untreated mental illness? Was he dropped on his head? Or was he trying to prove a point about security? or?

He looks like the uncle that wasnt invited to thanks giving for the last 8 years but keeps showing up and empty-handed

I remember seeing comments on Facebook when it happened that it was an antisemitic attack because a,b and c. It’s amazing the conclusions people come up with without a shred of evidence.

Every morning I have cereal with a glass of orange juice, I have to make sure my half-asleep brain doesn't put the milk in the glass and the orange juice in the cereal.

Fortunately I've only ever done it once. Had to throw out the cereal and start over.

Idk if the manifesto was actually his true beliefs or if he was creating a scenario to get sympathy and attention. Maybe he had a relationship ending. He was director of the immersive media lab not exactly anti- tech/media.

I was at NEU years ago and he was someone I actually enoyed interacting with in the computer labs. I was so shocked and horrified when I found out.

Not too bright. Used a lab computer to type his letter and left a copy in the backup folder.
