There is sort of a queer feeling about watching somebody blog their final days. I can't quite describe it--not quite macabre, not quite humorous, not quite amazement.
It's sort of one of those synthetic colors, the ones that you never see in reality but recognize instantly if exposed to them.
- smoyer 10y agoTo me it seems very real ... What's the point or posturing or maintaining a facade? I'm going to make a guess that its's liberating in its own way too (why can't I live like this? Oh yeah, office politics).
- mindcrime 10y agoI consider it inspiring, but tinged with sadness. I don't know Pieter Hintjens, but I still hate to see that he's dying, knowing what it will mean for his wife, children, etc. And he's "one of us" as well. But, the flip-side is that he's displaying great courage and spirit in choosing to continue doing the thing that matter to him, apparently right up to the end. There's something to be said for nobility in the face of death.
