One important takeaway is mentioned in the article:
> None of this excuses the treatment of Turing during his final years, says Prof Copeland.
The injustice was done. Whether it resulted in suicide is almost beside the point.
But the second takeaway is even more important, and this is where I think the article gets it very wrong: Turing's public demeanor prior to his death has absolutely no bearing on the issue. Many, if not most people who commit suicide "seemed totally fine."
Just because someone is projecting cheerfulness outward and trying their best to be brave, does not mean they are not suffering and it certainly doesn't mean that they're "ok."
Check in on your friends. Really care.
