Yeah at this point, it's a write-off for me. It will be 2 full years come June 8th email from him without a single sign of any progress. I'm shocked / not-shocked Alex just dumped the community like he has.

Cheers,

one thing I haven't seen yet anyone considering and i know this is messed up to say but maybe Alex died. limbo. metaphor for his life around that time which gave him the idea for the project. nobody has heard a word from or about him, his websites are going offline, his projects unfulfilled, nobody can reach him on any platform. i think it is a very real possibility. hope i am wrong

I am sure many people consider many things - it does not mean we need to type them out. We all hope that whatever the problem it is not the worst problem and that he will come out of this safely.

It’s a reasonable conclusion given the lack of evidence but I’ve searched and don’t believe he’s passed away. Otherwise we likely would have heard something and been able to find an obituary.

i also tried looking for obituaries and couldn't find any. can't believe there's not a single person who knows him personally in the community who can go check to see if he's still alive. in my mind he either died or he scammed and ghosted everyone and i can't imagine he'd do something like that after being a pillar of the community for so many years

Underrated post.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

There are many, many other possible reasons in between those two extremes.

like? what could happen that a person doesn't have 5 min to update anyone on his whereabouts or the status of projects people paid for, for 2+ years.

Incarceration? Coma? Hospitalization without external access?

I mean none of those are what I would wish on anyone but any of those would meet the criteria of unable to update.

There are other plausible scenarios that don't count as scamming that I can see as well which, whilst not preventing an update, would make such an update seem an impossible task depending on mental state and how one handles such scenarios.

The Vanda disappearance and subsequent reappearance is another example of someone who didn't wind up scamming but also found rationale about why they didn't make any updates. Their rationale wasn't one I personally agreed with, but at least I eventually got my decks.

If you have information on him or his family in China please PM me. I have removed a series of posts that were going to serve the purpose of having me lose my shit with commenters and served little purpose otherwise.
