This weekend, Malchow arrives in Zurich with Alex, Anne and her two sons from a previous marriage, all wearing long-sleeved yellow shirts that she had printed with U = Q + W the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. On two separate days, Malchow has appointments with a local psychiatrist, consultations necessary before a lethal prescription can be written. Then on the morning of March 21, Hal and Anne will go to an apartment secured by Dignitas where he will be greeted by the nurse who will administer the fatal dose. (After reading that the medication is very bitter, Malchow picked out the Frango mint chocolates that will accompany it and is currently contemplating whether to pair the candy with champagne or cognac.)
This dude devoted his entire career to the democrat party. It was his religion, and there is not one single mention of God or the afterlife in that entire article. I really don't understand the thermodynamics angle and how that relates to death. It sounds like more of a mockery than anything.
He's been runnimg around bragging about killing himself to his friends and family. Pretty sick.
Not only that, but there was very little in his worldview about policy and governing.
It was about WINNING, and what it takes to WIN. Not arguments in the arena of ideas, but elections. That's the sum total of his life.
Pretty sad, IMO.
