I'm no conspiracy theorist, and I don't have any other corroborating evidence, but his banner has an x-ray. I'm wondering if our guy got himself into serious medical debt with a denied claim, read the :deny-defend-depose: book and went from there?

what funny is it isn't anywhere on his goodreads list. maybe he picked it up in the last 6 mos and didn't log it

i guess it's possible he became laser focused obsessed in the last 6 mos after his own issues and his grandparents died. best case scenario really.

He falls off Twitter and the injury picture are my only "evidence"

maybe he picked it up in the last 6 mos and didn't log it

Oh he logged it. Gave it a three out of six if I recall deny-defend-depose

Seems like the most likely scenario. If he's a standard brainwormed techbro he might not have cared or thought about health insurance until it fucked him over personally and decided to take things into his own hands

He also wanted to get into AI/ML, so I can easily see him reading United's use of AI for denials and get even more driven.
