Is this story made up though?

  It does feel a little made up right ? Could be true. Could be maybe a little bit dramatized. Derek Sivers seems to have so many stories like this

    Then he should be more careful in public spaces and around other people, shouldn't he? Assuming it is true, that is, otherwise he should switch to fiction books.

      careful about what, that he makes shit up? I think you'd be surprised how many people operate at that level by default.

        Backing up your point by making up a bullshit story is called "lying" and "disinformation" and should be rejected outright by anyone who wants a high trust society. We should not build policy, intentions, or any ideologies based on a single lie from some dude trying to push a "nobody is ever guilty of anything" agenda. This post adds nothing to the world, especially with the horrific conclusion it is encouraging you to accept. "The past is not real" is utter horseshit, and does not follow from "I did something I thought was really bad but was only kinda bad actually" in the first place.

    Had the same feeling. The man is a writer after all and he has just way too many stories at this point that I'm wondering if they're all true or if he's just using made up stories as a tool to convey messages.
