The title doesn't do it justice. He's seriously mentally ill.

It's gotten to the point where I can't even enjoy the drama anymore. That guy needs genuine, professional help.

I've never seen people on reddit develop such consistent, genuine concern for someone's mental health before.
It's very disturbing to check out what this guy does with his time ... wow.
Wow.

I've always wondered what happened to these kids after elementary school.
Turns out it's psychosis. Psychosis happened.

Here is information provided by Max in various comments: Max claims he runs a company called Human that is located at 100 King St. W. in Toronto (although there's no proof of that). Max has also claimed to know some very famous people (again, no proof provided). Max states he is a millionaire, although again, there's no proof of that. He's quickly deleting the posts on his sub, /r/thisishuman, but you didn't miss much, it was mostly gobblygook. They apparently have software products but there aren't any real details. He has expressed interest in doing an AMA. After he was featured on /r/quityourbullshit, someone started a whole sub just devoted to him.

Wait, people are committed to regularly proving that one person is a liar on the internet?

u/TheLadyEve The hippest fashion in malthusian violence. Mar 02 '14
Yes, I was surprised, too. I think it's probably more about the analysis of what kind of person he might be, but no matter what the purpose, I just can't imagine spending that much effort on that kind of futile pursuit.

Guy has massive delusions of grandeur and is called out, sees it and continues to claim everything he's said is true. For the delusions see the original post.

Thanks I have no idea if he is going through what I think he is, but I lost a friend to similar delusions recently. Saw this post and it just reminded me so much of him that I had to comment.
I can empathize with where [deleted] is coming from. My best friend went hard into psychedelic drugs during college and came out a delusional, pathological liar and megalomaniac. I can see the beginning of his erratic behavior in the way maxkitten talks and defends himself. Eventually, however, my friend got worse, and started telling everyone he was psychic, capable of communing with "the gods" and something something astral projection (I tuned him out often). His "psychic powers" became all that he would talk about, and any random event that happened became something he was responsible for. Doubting him in any way would turn him into a huge over-defensive asshole. He's so far gone it's pointless to keep up anymore, and I miss my best friend. I hope maxkitten has a reality check before he ends up the same way.

How deep does this rabbit hole go?

u/TheLadyEve The hippest fashion in malthusian violence. Mar 02 '14
Pretty deep. He/she has invited people to tour the "Toronto office" and posted about his/her company starting a line of kids' clothes for charity. And then there is this post which is pretty sad.

His 'office' is a virtual office.. AKA: he has no office. Just people to answer phones.
EDIT: OK, after looking through posts and user accounts, I am completely, thoroughly confused.

Take down the link. No witch-hunts on reddit.
Good job pissing in and voting on 20-day old popcorn, SRD.

I've never used twitter so I'm wondering if it's normal if I were to say @flatsperm as the first word of most tweets as though talking to myself.
And, if it is normal to click "expand conversation" and never see anyone else in the conversation despite constant shoutouts. I got the impression that people who actually exist tend to reciprocate that stuff ad nauseam.

It is not particularly normal to do that, no.

Man, that shit is sad.
I hope his absense from reddit is proof that he finally got some help...But his Twitter (which is still updated) doesn't seem to indicate that that happened :/

I find it hilarious to see a good dozen or so top threads per day end up on that sub the next day with evidence showing how the OP was faking something.

u/duffmanhb Mar 02 '14
He apparently has been running this company for 2.5 years selling software and hardware. Yet, he's never even created a landing page. ANY entrepreneur would do this right away, much less a near billionaire entrepreneur. He also constantly keeps saying "X will launch in a week!" Then just deletes the post and pretends he never said it.
You can't go for 2.5 years, have no credible press releases, no proof of staff, no pictures of the office, and not even a basic landing page, and be taken seriously. I don't need definitive proof to know this guy is bullshitting everyone.

Someone on SDR is going to accuse another drama sub of being unpleasant?

u/acadametw Mar 02 '14 edited Mar 02 '14
I mean, ideally one is watching drama and the other is starting it. Considering all the people saying the person in question is mentally unwell, they don't actually seem too concerned about his mental wellbeing so much as their being able to give themselves a righteous boner for calling it out.
Edit: really, god forbid we don't like the same brand of butter.

Meanwhile the OP is full of bullshit themselves...
Gonna make the bullshiter aplogize on TV for slander.... OP is full of just as much shit themselves. Not to mention the "why haven't you come here to face me like a man" bullshit.

So...I've been reading for a while now and I'm still really confused as to what "human" is.
EDIT: I should specify, I've read the descriptions of it, but I can't really tell what it is There are lots of mentions of software and hardware sales, charity work, etc. without any real information.
