Cory Doctorow on Aaron Swartz

I would like to note that not only have any demons affecting Aaron Swartz ceased to be but that he was not the the first individual in the field of computing to be affected by some similar affliction(s). An individual by the name of Alan Turing (of whom you might be familiar with) was also subjected to disapproval by the authorities acting under the authority of his government and he also came to the conclusion that an abrupt cessation of his own life was his best option at the time. I don't endorse the taking of one's own life but I do see it as an opportunity to possibly reflect on why an individual felt so driven that the individual saw such an option as the best available one.
