  An interesting post history. He seemed to post exclusively in near-empty subreddits he created. It's an eclectic mix.

  I hadn't been to howstuffworks.com in years. It's...very different now. Much more ad heavy, sensational, "the fourth one will amaze you", "doctors hate #7", and just icky in a way I don't remember it being ten years ago.

  Manna shaped a lot of my worldview on tech and humanity. People with vision like that are extremely rare.

  He will be sorely missed.

  I don't think that suicide thing is confirmed. The other day they said cardiac arrest. Who knows.

  But he has written some really good books, such as https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

    Manna is such a prescient reading.

      Indeed. I fear we may not make it to the second half of the book, but we gotta keep trying.
