WHO?
It should be noted that I've upmarseyd every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know. That said. In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test. My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it. I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan). I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories. It seems to me that, given my skill set and interests, the best way for me to do this is by entrepreneuring or perhaps just business-managing in the tech industry. So, as a huge fan of Google, I decided about six months ago that being the CEO of Google is my primary objective in life; I'm smart enough to have a pretty good chance at pulling it off, and there's much less competition to become the CEO of Google than there is to grow your own start-up into a multi-billion-dollar corporation. Everybody wants to start their own company; not many want to take over an existing favorite. Plus, if I fail to become the CEO of Google or decide I don't want to be, I could always try for one of the many other companies I like, or I could still decide to start my own company after all....

He might be the most documented person on the internet, second only to CWC herself. He first rose to fame in 2012 when at 15 he posted his now infamous copypasta on r/gaming. Over the years he gained notoriety in the reddit metasphere for his long, deranged comments and outbursts, his often wacky and misplaced ideas about nearly everything, his ability to enter into arguments that would often last for days, his belief that he was smarter than everyone else, and his libertarianism (the cheese pizza kind, although he was also a tax is theft kind of guy). He'd argue in law and science related subs on a daily basis, entirely convinced that he was right and everyone else was wrong. His story has been extensively documented on r/SubredditDrama, r/Iamverysmart, and of course r/Drama. In fact, he was made a Drama mod in recognition of his productivity as a lolcow.

There was also a point where he became a Qultist, another time when he threatened a shooting spree if Andrew Yang didn't deliver on his UBI promise, a time when he claimed to have invented an alternative to the internal combustion engine, and this is merely the stuff I recall. He did all of this on a nearly daily basis.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Around 3 years ago, he had a couple of run-ins with the law I can't remember exactly, but apparently he stole a car, smoked weed and smashed his step-father's air-conditioner. Something like that. Anyway so all his alts got y'alled and we lost our most dramatic member. Until June 2021, when u/Doc_Optiplex discovered a review posted by Darq on his google maps account.

From there I discovered his twitter account and youtube channel, and actively kept an eye on his activity.
Recently while browsing WSB, I saw a comment with WORDS WORDS WORDS from plsdontnuke, and it just reminded me of him. I knew from his twitter that he was following crypto and WSB(he posted about the Gamestop thing). So I looked his acc. up on camas, and yup it was him. (*^β½^*)
What would you guys suggest? Should we invite him here?

We call upon Reddit to take action against the rampant Coronavirus misinformation on their website. Everyone on this planet has been affected by the SARS-Cov-2/Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. You may have been in lockdown, you may have been forced to work under some form of duress, you may have lost a loved one to the disease, you may be left with long term side effects of the illness, you may have found that regular food, housing, and/or medical care is less attainable or more expensive now.
We could have been better off months ago, but disinformation and lies have been allowed to spread readily through inaction and malice, and have dragged this on at the cost of lives. There are those who deny that the pandemic even exists, there are those who think that wearing a mask will literally suffocate you, there are those who think it's no worse than a regular flu virus, that it's a bioweapon, and everything in between. This volume of blatant misinformation is problematic and dangerous.
It is clear that even after promising to tackle the problem of misinformation on this site, nothing of substance has been done aside from quarantining a medium sized subreddit, which barely reduces traffic and does little to stop misinformation.
The disinformation and false information is manifold. There is no area of recognised safety procedures when it comes to battling the spread of a dangerous virus that is not under attack here. All empirically proven measures which can help save lives are under attack. Masks work1 , but not according to the propaganda. **The vaccine is safe,**2 it is not untested, and it is not experimental technology or DNA manipulation, but people getting their information from these propaganda subreddits are told the opposite. Social distancing is valuable3 , but people are being persuaded to not even do that. Cynical plays on emotion are made. Trying to keep children safe is painted as "child abuse". Lies are repeated so frequently that misinformed people begin to believe them wholeheartedly, trusting that they can't be incorrect because they're surrounded by people who believe it also.
There needs to be a more active involvement in preventing the spread of the disinformation that is keeping us within a pandemic that at this point is entirely manageable. The main problem with a concerted disinformation campaign is that such a message attains an air of legitimacy through sheer volume of repetition. This is dangerous when it comes to unsafe medical advice such as promoting the ingestion or injection of cattle dewormers, a known side effect of which is sudden death4 , or such as trying to convince people that a tested, FDA approved vaccine will cause death. There is a good chance that the disinformation that reddit is currently inundated with will necessitate people a stay at the toxicology department in the hospital or even cost them their lives. There can be no room for leniency when people are dying as a result of misinformation on this platform. Reddit as a global platform needs to take responsibility here.
We are calling on the admins to take ownership of their website, and remove dangerous medical disinformation that is endangering lives and contributing to the existence of this ongoing pandemic.
Subreddits which exist solely to spread medical disinformation and undermine efforts to combat the global pandemic should be banned.
