It looks like Aaron Swartz may have willed all his money to Givewell. This… makes it even sadder, somehow, in ways I don’t know how to describe.
His last Reddit comment was on /r/HPMOR.
Lawrence Lessig writes that Swartz’s legal troubles had caused Swartz’s wealth to have been “bled dry”.
This makes me angry. Can we perhaps raise the lost money on the internet and send it to GiveWell? Aaron’s tribute site has a link to them, but that’s not the same as an organized campaign (specific goal, progress meter, mailing list, etc.)

Gah! Suicide is the exact opposite message of HPMOR… :/
