I read the whole post and he doesn't give me the impression of being at piece. If you're truly at piece you wouldn't be writing such a long and bitter post to begin with. He pretends he doesn't care for money, but all the examples where he felt he's not being treated fairly revolve around money. And he clearly still sees himself as one of the original Minecraft creators while he's not.

Well that's called introspection. And the post is his way of a telling a story. He is a storyteller, that is what he does.

At peace? The fact that he wrote this long post shows that he is not at peace. And it's not like it was just a vent piece that he didn't expect to get attention, he posted a link to it on /r/minecraft.

Nitpick: technically/scientifically, facts do not have volition.

Are you saying because "facts" are not sentient beings, they cannot be the subject for the verb "to show"?

They have an involvement in the process/phenomenon, but it is the mind that is doing the majority of the work (the actual implementation of "shows"). And, as science has well demonstrated, the mind is a highly unreliable instrument, and is a particularly important one in that it renders "reality" itself.

I'm a big fan of this essay, mainly for this one line:

>> There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

I don't know much about this person, other than that he did NOT move on.

"Moving on" and recounting a story can be, and often are, entirely different things.

Or precisely the exact same thing. I take this as their final act to bring closure.
