On September 18, Mitchell Heisman blew his brains out with a revolver on the steps of Harvard Memorial Church in front of a tour group of about 30 people. While not noteworthy in and of itself, suicides on campus not being totally unheard of, what is notable about Mitchell Heisman is the 1905-page suicide note which he emailed to over 400 people in the hours preceding his exit.

“Suicide Note”is a masterpiece of modern philosophy and a brilliant application of socio-biological theory to politics. I have read 400 pages of it so far, and have been unable to put it down.
The book is a magnificently written, unbelievably well-researched, poignant and thought provoking work, that confirms that philosophy is still alive in the 21st century.
I do not agree with his final thesis regarding the embrace of nihilism and the rejection of hope in a possible revaluation of all values. However, this work contains what is probably the most brilliant synthesis of the technological singularity theory, a scathing critique of modern liberallism, and what is probably the most original theory regarding the roots of the American Civil War.

One must admire his sense of humor when he writes ‘It is highly unlikely that I will have the opportunity to defend this work.”As a work of modern philosophy, its importance and value should not be understated. Yet the book has, as the author predicted, been repressed. Not by the censor of the mainstream media, but by that supposed paragon of liberal exercise, Wikipedia.
If one types Mitchell Heisman’s name into Wikipedia, you will be unable to find a page dealing with him. The page has been deleted. Digging a little farther, one can find the talk page housing the debate over the article’s notability and appropriateness.

Now I know what you’re thinking: “So what? The guy blew his brains out, wanted his book to get out, and now you’re proving his freedom of speech hypothesis wrong by writing about him in a public forum.” And you’d be right. What I find most interesting about the response to the work is that no one appears to have actually read it, and that people have been only so eager to post links to the downloadable version and say “There Mitch, up yours you arrogant bastard! Your book isn’t being repressed!”
….
At the very least, Mitchell Heisman makes for an interesting and curious case. While thankfully not the lost work of David Foster Wallace, as opined by the wits at dailyrotten.com, “Suicide Note”is a compelling masterwork that deserves scrutiny and voice.
