If you're a computer activist, 30 years is a long time. The computers 30 years ago were barely considered desktop computers. The first Mac was released in 1984, about 29 years ago. If you have zero access to computers for 30 years, it's basically a death sentence. I probably would've killed myself too, and I've never had depression before.
- varjag 14y agoThe original thesis concerned 10 years term; however I'd agree the number doesn't change much in principle. I can totally understand offing yourself in despair, but let's not pretend it's a rational choice. Nobody has missed their death yet, there are sometimes good reasons to rush it but this is not one of them.
