In response to the Wall Street hazards article, +J.J. Raynor sent me this letter written by Hunter Thompson in 1958.
An overview:
What makes his response all the more profound is the fact that at the time, the world had no idea that he would become one of the most important writers of the 20th century. Therefore his beliefs about purpose were hypothetical—they were statements of faith. But if it’s true that our beliefs really do become our reality, then there’s no better example of a life fully realised than the one of Hunter S. Thompson.
