There is no glory, no beauty in death.
Only loss.
It does not have meaning.
I will never see my loved ones again.
They are permanently lost to the void.
If this is the natural order of things,
then I reject that order.
I burn here my hopelessness,
I burn here my constraints.
By my hand, death shall fall.
And if I fail, another shall take my place
… and another, and another,
until this wound in the world
is healed at last.

Part of that seems to be from HPMOR. I’m not sure where the rest comes from.
Yeah, almost certainly HPMOR inspired. Eliezer’s work has spread far.
