Was he scribbling? I had had the thought that the notebook might have been instructions. If he was trying to escape programming, could he have written something as an effort to purge that? Might be meaningless to us if we were to read it, but could perhaps have meant everything to him.
I don’t know this, just a huge speculation, but I do have the hope that he was a good heart who got enmeshed in something horribly evil and was in over his head and found himself doing evil things.... and a corner of his soul had enough integrity to try to stop that action.
Or perhaps he was a tool to be used by the black hats to demonstrate that they do indeed have bots who will follow orders to the extent that they will off themselves. This scenario does not preclude him having at least a smidge of integrity.
Or I could be totally all wet, and he was committed to and prolifically evil.
>> I do have the hope that he was a good heart who got enmeshed in something horribly evil and was in over his head and found himself doing evil things.
Or perhaps he uncovered something and was learning more about it and when the evil ones found out, they had him taken out.
I don’t have an opinion as to which side he was on, but prefer to think the best of people until proven otherwise.
see my post #262 - he was an innocent - used to demonstrate ability to control, and a threat (to good guys) per Q.
Marine 1 helo flew in strange almost attack mode toward Washington Post, IIRC - George Webb witnessed it.
