Hyper-rational man who read Freakonomics and LessWrong.com, 45, dies in plane crash.
The man, only identified by his initials F.A., a regular user of the website Hacker News, was the single passenger on a flight on the infamous Boeing 737 Max airplane.
As the plane rapidly lost altitude, he lectured the panicking crew on the safety statistics of the airline industry and how flying is technically safer than driving a car.
