Let us not to forget his message: "You have to believe you can accomplish something because once you believe that, you're half way to actually doing something".

I also liked what he said " everything that we've been taught is just provisional , everything is open to recantation or refutation"

RIP Aaron. This kid was brilliant. Definitely a huge threat to the scummy and corrupt system that rules over present day society. People SHOULD take notice and read the 2 books he mentions. I did...long time ago.

I think this is just as ironic as Brad Delp's and Michael Jackson's death.

tiberio135 what the name of the two books he mentioned? ?

“On the Internet everyone has a license to speak, it's a matter of who gets heard.” - Aaron Swartz.

...I just saw the documentary about Aaron, rest in peace, my heart is broken. Everyone who knows of Aaron should not allow his dream to die. Aaron laid the foundations, he showed us we can fight back. It's up to us now, regardless of the country you live in, it's up to us to fight injustice.

What a beautiful soul.

This young man was so far ahead of his time! The two books he mentions he read just out of high school. Incredible! I worked in large corporate entities for 23 years and know from first hand experience that "Moral Mazes" hits the nail on the head. And, Noam Chomsky? No one better can describe the hypocracy of America in greater detail. My young Aaron rest in peace.

Voltaire: "Announcing truths, proving something useful to men is a sure recipe for being persecuted." Before watching the documentary 'The Internet's Own Boy' tonight, I did not know who Aaron Swartz was. Now that I do, I will never forget him. Some people are born to make a difference. Clearly, Aaron was one of those people. He still is, and always will be. Requiescat In Pace, Aaron ... Rest In Peace.

Also just watched the documentary and never really took notice of him before. I remember the incident itself (the "theft") and not understanding why they wanted to punish him for it, but didn't really follow. I really should have. That guy was amazingly impressive. It's really worth to further listen to what he said throughout his unfortunately short life. So much potential lost. I think he was destined for more, that's what makes it so...sad in so many ways. But also reminds me on this: "We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world."

He is my inspiration.

You are a founding father of the internet, RIP.

swartz left his epitaph in this interview and everyone that enjoys the freedom of the internet today has him to thank. we should all aspire to reach the masses in the way he did

He was just an hero. R.I.P. Brother.

''If you can save yourself, you'd save us all.''

Thanks for sharing! Can you change the license to CC BY, so that the video can be imported to Wikimedia Commons and used, for instance, to illustrate his Wikipedia article?

This guy was a badass! Just listen!

The best thing we can do is take up his call and become proactive to take responsible action to make things more progressive in our country. His point about the Senate and Congress is spot on, it's a game you can only play if you pay if that is a requirement then true representation for all of us is a farce. I think the documents he was downloading should be accessible by all freely.

a great loss for mankind...........

I see sadness in his eyes. I wonder if other people in his life saw it? RIP

He is my hero

why did he take his own life? he seemed like a very driven and passionate person. it seems strange for someone like him to let go of life.

Don't be afraid and don't feel helpless.... Got it!

what an intelligent and inspirational man. RIP

It is truly a loss, but not such a significant loss that any movement for change will abate. I imagine if Aaron were here he would tell everyone to let this be an example of the issues in our society. We must intelligently discuss and attempt to solve these problems. Aaron was truly inspiring, and this loss even more so. We will strive for progress and change for our ancestors, our contemporaries, and our descendants.

why haven't i found out about this guy until now?

a highly evolved human being. I feel more intelligent after hearing this interview

HERO

your talents and skills will be missed

Great video, thanks for posting it.

"Anybody here seen my old friend Aaron? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill, With Abraham, Martin and John.... (Didn't they try to find some good for you and me)?" Yeah... the good they die young.

RIP Aaron Swartz, the world has both bad and good. The whole point is to never give up.

Great Man.. RIP

one rational mind less in this world :( Is possible to have a better world- Aaron Swartz.

Hello guys, I'm thinking to edit this video to add it subtitles in spanish is there a problem or restriction if I do that?

Beautiful soul!- see you on the other side.

R.I.P Aaron Swartz

May the Swartz be with you

this young genious and old soul did not commit suicide.......wow what a gift to society this young man is ..god bless the parents

Rest in Peace Aaron....

RIP man , so sad to lose a genius.

respect

Two weeks from now and every will forget all about it.

Very wise.. i like his message in this vid... many people feel the way he feels they just don't take action which he did RIP Aaron

This is more than inspirational> RIP Aaron Swartz

I find it hard to believe someone so passionate and driven would hang himself. Sucks he won't be around anymore

Rest in Peace

2:50 Aaron seems to have studied #TragedyAndHope, #JohnTaylorGatto, #TriviumEducation and the Peace Revolution Podcast.

RIP

RIP Aaron.

RIP.

8:30 ;) Don't skip to..Go Back 2 @end,after.. Historic copy! Ty

A total waste of a good mind. R. I. P.

damn

That is part of our problem as A People, Many of us think this way. Few, Very few can move past their Fear and Be Great! Aaron and his passion were Great!

now - take the first step he talks about, I guess...

He is dead? Damn that makes me rather sad, I agree with alot of what he has to say. Now what?

God, his view on education is exactly like mine. Like, almost verbatim.

@7:30 This!

patriot

Because this world is run by sociopaths.

Martyr

R.I.P the old world killed him, he had so much /cure to cancer ect

8:30 ;)

A little offtrack, however a little thought here. If Elon Musk could step in as a mentor and friend to support and protect him, greater things could have been done.

I couldn't agree more as to Aaron's explanation regarding the relationship paradigm that is the Basis of Control in our MODERN Society. This interview shows a young man who is clearly in control of his facilities Tho his attempt to publish copywriten Materials led him into some legal difficulty,Some how I think those whom Benefited the most

if tha people rise up and demand justice tha establishment would fall...they cant deal with what is coming...reap tha whirlwind...reap it!

Not only bright...but able...! What a waste that he is gone...when the rubbish lives on.

he killed himself because he had to play a game where the only winning move was not to play

When you watch this video, it becomes cogently clear why Aaron killed himself. It was because in spite of his convictions, he was smart enough to realize that change really isn't possible. You may slow the forces of entropy organic or intellectual, but you can never stop it.

RIP
