"Think of the old cliché about 'the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.' This, like many clichés, so lame and unexciting on the surface, actually expresses a great and terrible truth. It is not the least bit coincidental that adults who commit suicide with firearms almost always shoot themselves in: the head. They shoot the terrible master. And the truth is that most of these suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger."

Extra poignant considering how DFW met his end

definitely possible. i picture it more as him trying to keep afloat and trying to tell them how to keep afloat based on his own strategies. or maybe he was having a good day or week or month.

i'm sure that people who choose to commit suicide by shooting themselves in the brain are looking to make a poetic, symbolic point. otherwise they would just shoot themselves in the hand or whatever.

Most people trying to get by in this SPS society have two options: mindlessly judge those around us or varying degrees of existential depression. That's it.

edit: full disclosure, i agree with this guy way too much re: overuse of irony and suicide.
