seriously wow. i don't think his point was some sort of suicide glorification. i think his point was that the compromises the self has to make in the modern world require a degree of suicidalness. i don't know really. that scene on top of the school, i was thinking "is this some kind of play on taking irony too far".
I'M THE CHARLES MANSON OF THE INFORMATION AGE!
