Yes, Dr. David Martin is an extraordinary human being. And so are you, Jessica. Thank you for being a creator, a dissident, and a thinker of exceptional quality.

Everyone who ever contemplates suicide should consider the words Buckminster Fuller heard that kept him from throwing himself into Lake Michigan in 1927:

“From now on you need never await temporal attestation to your thought. You think the truth. You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe. Your significance will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your role if you apply yourself to converting your experiences to the highest advantage of others.”

And then they should go and do like him, undertaking “an experiment, to find what a single individual could contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity.”
