SUICIDE AFTER PREPARE"1905 PAGE SUICIDE NOTE"

A 35-year-old man, who shot himself near Harvard University here a week ago, has left behind a 1905-page suicide note, an online document he had been working on for the last five years.His family and about 400 friends received the 1,905-page suicide note in a posthumous e-mail.In the note Heisman wrote that he took his life as part of a philosophical exploration he called "an experiment in nihilism.

"The lengthy document included 1,433 footnotes, a 20-page bibliography, over 1,700 references to God and 200 references to the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

Mitchell Heisman, an erudite, wry, handsome 35-year-old, to walk into Harvard Yard on the holiest day in his faith and fire one shot from a silver revolver into his right temple, on the top step of Memorial Church, where hundreds gathered to observe the Jewish Day of Atonement.

Holding a degree in psychology, referencing Nietzsche or Socrates, and using high sounding intellectual jargon does NOT constitute intelligence. Mitchell Heisman's manifesto is unintelligible and is very clearly the work of a very well-read, but a (very sadly) mentally unstable person.

****** MAIN WORDS OF HIS SUICIDE NOTE *******

“ Ther is no value for love, wealth, relation, education Every word, every thought, and every emotion come back to one core problem: life is meaningless,’’ he wrote. “The experiment in nihilism is to seek out and expose every illusion and every myth, wherever it may lead, no matter what, even if it kills us.’’

"If life is truly meaningless and there is no rational basis for choosing among fundamental alternatives, then all choices are equal and there is no fundamental ground for choosing life over death," he wrote.
