>A Brazilian student has mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a locked room covered in encrypted texts, 14 handwritten books and a massive statue of occultist Giordano Bruno.
>Bruno Borges, a 24-year-old student from Brazil, reportedly vanished on March 27th after completing a secretive project consisting of thousands of pages of encrypted texts combined with mysterious symbols. Along with references to the Bible, alchemy, demonology and Leonardo da Vinci, Borges left a bizarre painting of him with an alien – prompting some people to conclude that he was … abducted by aliens.
>Borges was reportedly asking people to invest in his secretive project without disclosing any information about it. He told his mother he was writing 14 books that would change humanity in a good way. After receiving $6500 (R$20.000) from his cousin, he was able to finish his project.
it's clearly fake but the concept, assuming there is some sense of order to his art-piece, is objectively great

not fake to be honest, family.
I'm Brazilian and I ""know"" his family. They're pretty desperate
Julian Evans
i mean it's obvious he's just hiding out. It's too cute to be real, but as it is it's a pretty strong ironic and satirical meta-artpiece
Justin Rodriguez
Better than the pizza box thing desu

The name. Utterly fantastic. Even though probably a hoax, how elaborate... Speechless, really, at this point- will follow. One of the texts cited, Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (Yates) is a fantastic book. Of that I can vouch. To quote Sloterdijk quoting Rilke I >must change [my] life.
Joseph Foster
One of his friends was arrested because when firstly interviewed by the police, he claimed to know nothing about it. But then they searched his house and found the missing furniture of Bruno.
I'm certain it's just a hoax, his friends are planning on selling the books. Marketing strategy.
Ryder Williams
either fake or he's just mentally ill and went somewhere based on illusions in his own mind and died
Parker Adams
fucking bullshit nigger, his family public spoke that they trust him and they knew he planned all of this.
his friend is already free.
yes, of course it is a marketing strategy, and props to him, regardless of what he is marketing, as said, for all the work he's done he deserves the atention he is getting. I mean, look at the writings and drawings on the walls, its super symmetric and looks almost too perfect to be a free-hand human writing, and he had so little time to do it, and also, 14 big encrypted books...he has way more motivation than anyone in this board
Angel Nguyen
Experts said that the "encrypted texts" weren't that encrypted at all; sloppy, easily deencrypted, and generally lacking expertise. The exact same goes for his "le mysterious symbols" and such things.
There is nothing crazy about it, except the person himself.

Next level viral marketing but the Brazilians are underrated patricians. My portuguese isn't the best but they very often are the only ones taking seriously some neglected philosophers/writers (Kosellack, for example).

Lmao didn't that guy shitpost his fucking room on Veeky Forums all the time?
Awesome. You go, guy!

Did you ever read anything he wrote?
It's pathetic teenage angst, the kind of thing you do when you're a 12, like how masses are misguided and shallow redpill stuff, he is a silly brainlet.
Dylan Flores
this art project already happend with more people lol!
Liam Roberts
Pretty badass. Any followup on this dude?
Ryan Gray
I read a short story by Borges that revolved around a fictional encyclopedia with fictional entries about a fictional alternate world with its own history, civilizations, languages and philosophical episodes.
This required him to make up whole ideological melo-drammas out of thin air (there was a subtle metaphysical point driving evolutions in language and history).
Not sure if it has anything to do with this but it reminds me of it.
On a semi-related point, I'm getting really tired of kids who think esoteric hyper-complex combinations of various thinkers, texts, languages and ideas (usually with no actual meaning or organization) constitutes creativity.
I think by now we're all familiar with what it feels like to read the Wasteland as a teenager (like a brainlet who suddenly realized there were thousands, not hundreds, of important writers and books). It's not hard to get this reaction from other brainlets.
>hurrrr what does it all mean boy this guy must've been onto something >surprise there's nothing!
David Hughes
Is that the fucking full metal alchemist transmutation circle?
Evan Brown
True. But to crassly underestimate its almost total success wd be moronic. Oh, wait a minute. These are moronic times. Carry on..
Cameron Taylor
That ENTIRE FUCKING ROOM IS BLEACH WHITE How the fuck does such a home with that exist in mah fuckin martian-red-soiled country!? Also, where did he get his drinking water for him to become crazy enough to decorate a room like that? Meu deus.
Jackson Garcia
Go fuck yourself. They are desperate.
>Borges’ family are apparently shaken by the disappearance of the 24-year-old psychology student.
>The student’s shaken businessman father Athos Borges, said he last saw his son when he left their family home in Rio Branco, Acre, without any money after lunch on March 27.
>He said the family have received some information, but nothing concrete and nothing that would indicate what has happened.
>He told G1.Globo.com : “We’ve tried to call him on his cell phone, but it’s off.
>“He’s never gone before. He did not take anything and the last time we saw him he was leaving home.”

Dude is a fucking pseud, the code was fucking boy's scout stuff, like the letter C is the number 3 and so on. Dude even had a contract witha publisher for his stupid book. It was very funny seeing normies in Brazil commenting on Normiebook that if the country invested in education more genius like this guy would appear.

Reminds me of Foucault's Pendulum
Charles Ramirez
Brazilians are regularly, sometimes even spontaneously, transported backwards through time, as noted by Homer Simpson -something about the mid-atlantic equatorial region. This is most likely Borges' fate as well. Let's hope that he did not meet with an auto-da-fe.
Justin Watson
My old roommate was Brazilian. How often does this happen?
Angel Jenkins
About once every five years.
Jonathan Evans
Huh. I guess that's why I haven't seen him lately.
