This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not sure the hate is directed at him, but at people glorifying him

Yeah, I haven't read his book and have no strong opinions on him one way or another, but when the book came out, I remember him being presented to us as if he were some sort of spiritual or philosophical luminary to emulate, and it's always rubbed me the wrong way.

Maybe, but having read the book I don't think that's what Krakauer was going for. The last chapter is basically a bunch of experts roasting him for making mistakes and getting himself killed.
