It's the handwritten bit that I find hardest to believe, though. The guy studied AI at university and was involved in Game Design classes. He was a tech guy. Nobody who's that intimate with computers would choose to convey their message across three hand-written pages. It just seems really odd.
Seems like a guy with a background in tech and a significant concern over his privacy would be exactly the kind of person to keep his heretical most views on paper rather than online. The guy had basically dropped off the web for months prior to the assassination.
Someone in IT would be intimately familiar with why you would want something like a manifesto to be offline.
I prefer hand written notes for all my tickets and tasks I need to do...physically writing it helps memory retention way better then reading stuff on a screen.
Being an IT guy makes you not use real pens or paper? The amount of cope for this guy is unreal. That's just stupid.
Handwriting is more intimate and allows for better expression through the script. For something so personal, it sounds perfect. I love handwriting, do it regularly and I've been intimate with computers more than once ;)
As an IT guy: I love and hate handwriting things. I get the point about intimacy but especially for longer texts expressing many connected thoughts I would never do it by hand. Being able to edit text, switch around blocks of text etc etc is so ingrained in me that doing this by hand frustrates me greatly.
Yeah, I didn't like taking handwritten notes (until I got an e-ink tablet) during lectures because of that.
Though as I started doing audits I got better at writing with proper spacing and anticipating where something is missing, so it gets better.
