Yeah, my first thought was of the guy who blogged the whole time an inoperable brain tumor was killing him. Over the course of multiple years I watched as it robbed him of his intellect. The cleverness faded. The subtlety faded. His posts started getting shorter, and then started getting sloppier. His grasp of grammar was failing. Shortly before he died his final post was "love you kids. love you wife."
That's my worst nightmare.
- wwweston 7y agoI'm not sure there's objectively worse things than that. But I think one could make a good argument his final post indicates he had people who probably cared for him during his deterioriation, in part because love for them had been a north star for him. Maybe suffering such an end without that would be worse.
