Just awful. Heartbreaking for all in his life. One notes that the white Professors, the ones caught doing the same things that the Press alleged Prof. Arday did, are still in post, still paid, and not dragged through the Press day after day. Strange, isn't it....

But Western civilization is 90% based on plagiarism of ideas from Egypt, Babylon, Chinese, and Muslim civilization. Newton plagiarized algebra when he used it without citing Al-Khwarizmi’s papers. When he used trigonometry, he plagiarized from Egyptian texts and Babylonian geometry.

All outlets, including social media, had an opinion. Nobody is without guilt over this. The situation was sensitive and complex yet everyone preferred to stir up attacks on all sides instead of letting it be investigated properly.The ‘British’ press owned by foreign billionaires has to sell news.

This is not a surprise. Vulnerable person abandoned by his workplace and hounded by the press. If UoC didn't see that that this was very likely to happen...your entire life taken away from you and beyond daily shaming in the press. What happened to Levenson 2?

We need to talk more about the mental health of autistic people. Indeed, studies show that rates of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and death by suicide are significantly higher among people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) than in the general population. +

I complained to the guardian on Thursday because even they ran an ill researched and sensationalist piece questioning his childhood speech and language 😔 it started with the right of the right and they all fell in line 😤
