Extremely! I would not be surprised at all if this young man qualified for mensa!

Wondering if someone drove him? He mentions in chapter 10 that a friend will be delivering a letter to the anonymous donor of his college tuition. So he's possibly trusting someone to keep his plan quiet. But could he trust someone enough to not say where he is? He also mentions he will drive to an undisclosed location listening to his favorite music..so if he did drive where is his car?

This reminds me of a friend I lost almost 10 years ago. Graduated from a great school in the Midwest, got a job, and the weekend before he was to start, he killed himself. He didn't want to go to work, didn't want the stress, etc.
Kegan clearly struggled in ways that most of us simply accept or find some kind of adaptation that allows us to live with what we have trouble accepting. The treatise/manifesto is pretty brazenly self-absorbed and he is probably correct to say that maintaining functional adult relationships would be difficult given his attitudes, especially if he comes off in person the way he comes off in his writings.
There has to be a co-morbid mental health diagnosis beyond depression - seems also reminiscent of obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar, or something similar - jmo.
I am sorry for your suffering. I really do understand where you are.
I agree with you that this is cruel and heartless as well as extremely self centered. Especially being facebooked pdfs and you tube as the medium it will never go away. It feels like manipulation rather than "easing the family's loss". If it's real... it is control from beyond the grave.
I am at a loss to understand this.

I am struggling to contain judgment (of him, not you!), i admit it.
As much as it pains me to say it, his "book" read like Elliott Rodgers' manifesto in some ways. Clearly, Kegan is (or was) very intelligent, self obsessed, and ill.
I'd also like to know more about the last FB entry where it is stated that it was written by a friend at Kegan's request. Who is this friend and why did he or she play along? Or perhaps that part was fictional, I don't know.
That is odd.I'm not clear on what our TOS for YouTube is, so mods please delete if this is not ok, but there have been several videos posted as recently as a few hours ago on Kegan's YouTube account. It's not clear if he posted them (or set them to be posted, not sure if thats possible ) or requested someone else to .

You can defiantly schedule videos ahead of time to post at a certain day/time on YouTube.
Good questions! Has anyone seen anything in MSM about him having a vehicle and if that vehicle is missing or has been found?
He wanted the book and the letters he wrote to be public. He states in his book that he hopes people will use his manifesto to help with treatment of mental illness as well as other philosophers to give their input on it and how his attitudes compare.
I do agree however, the letters he wrote should not be available to anyone, not even the people he wrote them to. They were so awful.
