He was always Len, but people made the mistake of looking for him nearby. Len was going through a societal crisis and, yes, he was actually alone—he never truly found a place for himself here either. There were times when he was surrounded by crowds, but he could never really have a meaningful conversation with anyone. Unfortunately, I wanted so badly for him to be remembered well in this community. But when he mentioned len, people would say, "Oh, he was an idiot." Most people's curiosity was purely driven by money, but Len had embraced a deeper philosophy behind it. Everyone's concerns were about money and power. Privacy, personal rights—no one cared about those in Len’s world. Sadly, there were people who said he was weak for taking his own life. All of you always underestimated him. He was Len, and his purpose was entirely different. I’m glad he didn’t live to see how people used it so far from its intended meaning. "Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine." – Alan Turing
