It doesn’t require to much thinking only a fool would believe a fool of not knowing it’s own demise. Aaron would be a hero to me as to anyone they or them must pay for theirs crimes the world stage is build already for those who already designed it now are crumbling under our feet by the same people who harm him and us the same to them. ;) the best is yet to come.

    ChatGPT says: False. While access to research papers and scientific literature can be a challenge in many parts of the world due to subscription costs or lack of access to academic resources, it's not accurate to say that African doctors couldn't get proper knowledge of the Ebola virus during the pandemic solely because research papers were unaffordable to them. During the Ebola pandemic, efforts were made to disseminate information and research findings widely, including through open-access publications, international collaborations, and initiatives to share data and findings. Additionally, organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) provided critical information and resources to healthcare workers in affected regions. While there may have been barriers to accessing some research papers, various channels existed for African doctors and healthcare workers to access the knowledge needed to understand and respond to the Ebola virus during the pandemic.

The only thing that can improve is a person's ability to cope, and that requires hard work that never ends, and there's no guarantee that it's nearly enough. It's exhausting. Depression is so isolating because so many people don't understand (mercifully for them) and offer meaningless advice or wishful thinking that rings hollow. It has the effect of belittling a person. Imagine saying that to a person with a broken leg that won't heal. People with depression are under constant bombardment that they are only imagining a problem, because it's not obvious.

    In my opinion, people underestimate the value of academic documents. Cost of research is not cheap and universities dump thousands to millions of dollars just to produce those PDFs that we take for granted. The only time it becomes an issue is when the government itself charges the taxpayers to get a copy of their own documents. (Like how it is a stupid idea for banks to charge people if they want to withdraw their own money)

    Thank you for the video and the question you're raising. But for me this story, especially the way it ended begins more than a one case study. What would the question and consequently the answer be if after being released Aaron was headhanted by tech companies and invested into as a key talent (not that he'd want to, but try to get the point) , what would the question be if he lived happily ever after? What about those who are less visible and have no back up? We are under impression that justice system ende when the judge announces the verdict, sentencing a person to months, years, decades of inhumane conditions. Without a chance in some cases to ever get a fulfilled life, in many cases at a risk of getting back there. Justice should end when every single person gets a chance for a full and complete rehabilitation. Chance of leaving fascinating life. That's how it should be in my opinion. Until then the society is failing every one out (or rather in) 'there'.

    the video was really well produced and i love the awareness you spread however I want to mention that it feel really bad when you're mentioning both Aaron and Ross Ulbricht in same sentence saying "The computer skills of Aaron Swartz and Ross Ulbricht played a huge role in their attempt to change the world". What Aaron did for the internet is something entirely different from Ross's work and even though two cases might look similar but they're entirely different from ideological point of view.

    Even corporate murderers don't go to jail.

But if a drunk driver kills one person in an auto accident, the drunk driver will go to prison.

    ​​@@PeterSramkaMaybe I'm wrong, but I think very few people that were responsible for the 2007/2008 financial meltdowns experienced any jail time. I'm not a researcher. Don't know how to do it. I just suffer from whatever bad things happen with the economy, like most people. I am nonetheless presumptuous (maybe egotistical) enough to speak (write) what I feel. And it felt bad and it was scary to boot. It is like the following. Patient: Oh doctor, my knee hurts. Do something. Doctor: That's what I hate about you patients. You complain, but, never have any solutions. Yeally? That, in my opinion is the predicament we are all in.

    DA Carmen Ortiz should be charged with murder, or at least jailed for her blatant abuses of authority. Not just in the Schwartz case, this is the same DA in charge of a case where a lawyer who came forward with information on fraud committed a bank she worked for was charged with the crimes she reported on and treated the bank who committed those crimes as the 'victim'. There's cases she was involved with where the prosecutors moved forward on charges from an 'informant' but never spoke to the alleged victim until cross-examination when the alleged victims were testifying for the defense. That's how corrupt her office was when she was DA. But she never faced any consequences for the terrible things she did to people, the completely manufactured charges with zero evidence she managed to get indictments for by snowing the jury with wierd emotional pressure and random factoids unrelated to the case.
