I know he's perhaps not mentally stable, but after all. He has problems and he does some amazing things.

Perhaps consider donating on top of his page: http://www.templeos.org/ ( paypal).

Just donated 5$/month, will keep it up for a year at least. PayPal transactions take a bit of time to go through -- the hardest part was filling out the details :(

I really don't have the resources to arbitrarily afford charity, but fuck it -- I spend more money on coffee in a month and it's been too cold to wander around for a while here. It must feel really awful to some people who make 6 figure salaries to part with just a little money to a person who is both talented and likely lived in agony all his life. Maybe some people can start acting like the ubermensch they pretend to be from their libertarian ideology.

I'd ask you to explain how all libertarians are Nazis but then I guess I'd be taking the bait.

"Ubermensch" doesn't imply "nazism". It's a nietzschean concept referring to humanity going beyond itself, and was then adopted by nazism to refer to a man of pure race, which is not what Nietzsche was talking about.

He wasn't thinking of Nietzsche when he used the word. It's trendy now to accuse libertarians of being neo-Nazis.

You sure like to put words in other people's mouth ;) Please tell me exactly what I'm thinking and what I meant -- I'm burning with curiosity at this point. And maybe together we can iteratively refine it.

Okay, what did you mean?

You got it totally wrong, I think you need to understand me better. I'm like the internet special forces on the harsh battlefield of the hn forum -- I dodge incoming bullets of political correctness, I roll away from bombs of guidelines of politeness designed to silence discourse, I shoot my enemies with a rifle designed to make them look stupid, I effortlessly lob grenades made of nothing but words, I pick up random wounded allies and I inspire others to keep going. I run faster and faster until momentum gathers and based upon nothing but air I cause the laws of probability to crash and I do it for no benefit to myself -- ok maybe there is some benefit for me ;)

My only fault is that I slay my enemies too efficiently, I had an excellent sparing partner. I will extend an olive branch and make it easy for you. I lied about donating to Terry

> Maybe some people can start acting like the ubermensch they pretend to be from their libertarian ideology.

I know that libertarians are often accused of being Nazis, but how I read that phrase was a general "you libertarians think you are such superior beings, start acting like it".

You'd be taking the bait if you actually made a donation to Terry.

I've donated hundreds. He told me to stop on a livestream because he was worried it would cause him to lose his disability payments.

Telling the truth is easy and pleasant -- he would disable his account if that was the case. Prove you are not lying. Link with irrefutable evidence given the constraint of keeping necessary information confidential.

This is hilariously overblown for a forum post, dude. Chill out.

"a mind for strategy and tactics you have not" -- wise master myaso

Thou shall not make me chill.

Plenty of people have made donations to Terry, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Well, I'm in a charitable mood today so I decided to run a fundraiser on a whim using nothing but my phone.
