      Because Evelyn saw himself a fraud when he was not, he destroyed himself with self doubt and loathing when he truly believed in something worthwhile to himself, whilst Dutch believed he was god because of his philosophy. He thought he himself was higher than everyone around him. Evelyn was also surrounded by people who didn't like him, and Dutch was practically worshipped by those around him. Plenty of parallels.

    You forgot to mention the most important thing: Evelyn Miller is based on writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau.
    1. Both of them left their jobs at the university to live in the nature.
    2. Both of them lived in a one-room cabin near a pond where they were writing their most important book.
    3. Both of them were critics of the society.
    4. Both Thoreau and Miller were friends of the indians. Thoreau wanted to write an extensive work about the indians, but unfortunately he passed away.
    5. Both of them passed in their 40s
    6. Thoreau, like Miller, wasn't interested in women and he even rejected a few during his life.
    I had also compared writings of Miller in-game with paragraphs of Thoreau from the books I own and I found a great similarity analyzing them.

      i think Miller was someone who was emotional. he got maybe so mad of all the people critizising him, that he just lost it. That would also explain his desperate situation and the fact that his last book, which was supposed to expose this alleged lie, was his death sentence. Since that's when he really lied. And he was depressed by it and his hunger strike was more like a suicide. Making money from it was certainly also an intention. Of course.

    Everyone in the Van Der Linde gang saw Evelyn Miller as a moron. Even Miller himself saw himself as a moron and his books are part of the reason why Dutch went crazy. I bet you if Lenny had survived and abandoned the gang he would have gone on to write a book about how their way of life is a better example than Millers. Also I just realised that not only did Dutch and Miller die for the same cause, they both died in the same area and it was in an area they both loved the most, the nature.

I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts.

    That last book, I could see Dan Houser writing that about how this game made him feel after the stress of making it. It mentions America but how he's European. Talks about his doubts but how this land could bring absolution. Talks about how he can escape the hell of thought and come here, the way people play video games to escape their real life stresses.
    There is a paragraph that says:
    This world. Pure. Not clouded by idiocy. Not imagining himself as god as so many of us are forced to do, but happy as a child of god.
    This is a game where you play as normal men. Men who can die of disease or animal attacks or falls. Not a game in which you level up to the point of being unstoppable. In this game no matter what you do, you will die. You are not a god, but a child of god.
    It goes on to say:
    But still my thoughts come upon me like wolves. My needs swamp me. My desires overwhelm me.
    This game was Dan's baby. He wanted so much more in the game but it had to be cut. He stressed himself to the point of leaving Rockstar while making this game.
    And then there is this part toward the end:
    That foolish part of man that tells him he is immortal. That tells him, that whispers like the serpent, that seduces like the apple, that charms like Eve, that tells him he is God. I am not God in this truth, I will find my absolution. I shall be set free.
    and later it says:
    I pray now only for the talent to make this make some kind of sense. Oh the lot of the fool who aspires to more.
    This last part sounds like Dan talking about Take Two making him feel like he's god and telling him everything he wants to hear but yet that is not how he feels. He shall be set free from Take Two.
    He feels like the fool who aspired for more. Killing himself to make this game as good as it could be, only to have to rush the end, deal with multiple delays and have to cut tons of content.
    I'm high AF so I could be reading way too much into this, but we know how Dan and the Rockstar team like to hide things in their games, and seeing what happened to Dan after this, I don't know, as I read it, it just made me think of him.

I think GTA 6 might not be too great with both Dan and Leslie Benzies not involved with the development. I am excited for Dan's next game though.

      The real tragedy to miller in my eyes is that, he wasn't even really a fraud. He was a talented writer, with big ideas and passions, who you meet while hes trying to help the natives with their plight. Who when pushed to the edge, chose to abandon fame, wealth, and stability to prove himself to himself living like the people he wrote about. He was a pretty good dude.
      The self loathing people fueled in his critiques drove him to his early death eventually.

    • @edelweiss-

      MY THEORY!!
      Again. I think Miller has let himself buckle under the criticism. He gave up, really thought it was absolute nonsense. Because almost everyone said it. I rather think he was ahead of his time. Are we going to deny that big cities have dehumanised us?
      He also wrote very beautifully and made great philosophical approaches. But I think he had self-pity problems, the way he kept referring to himself. And in the end he wrote his last book, unfulfilled, which shines with self-pity and self-criticism. I rather think he didn't lie about his first books, because how can you lie about philosophy?! But rather in his last one, where he doesn't present himself as crazy by saying that these books were only fraud and not serious and that he did it all for fame. Because people think he is crazy because he has such philosophical thoughts. Perhaps fame was also a small intention. But certainly not the only one! Because he already came up with thoughts that many people were missing at the time.

  • @indiana_holmes
    @indiana_holmes 2 года назад +6

    Miller was a fraud until he actually gave up his position and chose to live among nature (where we meet him in the epilogue). The problem wasn't his ideals though, it was his self doubt. He hated himself and his assumed inability to adapt. He wanted to be what he wrote about, but couldn't stand himself, so ultimately succumbed to his own inadequacies. Instead of embracing the natural life he desired, he gave into the criticisms he received and let himself become a victim of cruel publicity and his own self doubt.
    Dutch just fell into the trap of becoming disillusioned by someone that didn't live by what he preached.

Here’s my favorite passage of his. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”

    The other one is after the mission with Captain Monroe where Arthur intercepts the army wagon for the medicine. The women gathered around the fire (just outside Chief Rains Fall's tent) will say "Don't be deceived / fooled by their kind gestures". Maybe something to do with their trust eh?

Perhaps father and son?

    When the Eagles fly ,perhaps it's a connection to Eagle Flies..maybe go directly to Eagle Flies after you encounter thr Eagles at Evelyn Miller's cabin if you can find him.

    hey strange man. i have a theory about princess ikz. while playing through the quest where you rob the steamboat trelawny suggests that when you have the suit and the clean shave that you look like a prince, like royalty. perhaps if you keep the clean shaven look and fancy clothes it could trigger her to appear thinking you are a prince to come to her rescue. i know that its suggested that you have to have a certain set of clothes and something in your inventory. seemss like it could add up.

      I’m thinking this with other such clothing as well for other things. Would be cool.
