CW: Jason Arday
Deeply sad news. I had feared this might happen.
A young man with an urge to be special, apparently compelled to present himself as heroic in all fields, possibly at the expense of truth and honesty. The institution's machinery saw an opportunity to use his shine for its own branding. Duty of care was violated.
An ambitious and conflicted young scholar needed nurturing and calming by his university. Instead the institution amplified the hype. He was exploited while he had the shine, then dropped. He could not manage the fracturing of his world. Desperately sad.
When the cracks in his claims first came out, I wrote: "His soul must be shaking." May his soul be healed. Thinking of his family and friends.
