I feel genuinely awful for the 19-year-old boy who was in that suicide-tube just to please his father. His whole life, which would've been a happy one of wealth and freedom, snuffed out because of these utterly stupid risks. But for Rush himself? He deserves all the posthumous mockery and jeering he gets and more. He was quite literally too stupid to live. Everybody else in that boat is on a spectrum of "you had more means than anybody else in the world to know this was extremely unsafe and you're part of a political class that by-and-large celebrates libertarianism so there's some irony and culpability here but still it's sad that you trusted a guy and he murdered you with utter incompetence".
