“He was an immensely talented and intent young mathematician,” Mr. Moglen said in an interview on Tuesday. “He had a choice between graduate school and this project, and he chose to do the project because he wanted to do something with his time that would make freedom.” 22 is young to die. It's sad and I feel for his family and friends. But to have such a quote from Eben Moglen in an obituary in the New York Times, for his work to be compared to one of the greatest juggernauts (Facebook) of our day, to be respected for the quality of his academic and professional work and the choices he made to promote freedom... 22 is also young to have made such a meaningful mark on the world and to be respected for his work and choices. I feel I can at least learn something from his examples and hope to live up to the choices he made.
