is it /lit/?
You're not funny. Nobody cares. Stop posting this gay shit.
I need a comprehensive list of everything this guy lied about
Jason Arday is such an interesting person to me. We all know pathological liars, but this guy really took it to the next level. Whatever it is that causes someone to lie like that must be some deep seated mental deformity. Most people know they can't just make up the craziest stories and expect not to get called out, but Jason was so screwed up it was like the prospect of getting called out didn't even cross his mind. "Oh, I ran 600 miles in 6 days with a fractured leg." Like, lol. Then nobody says anything, they just clap for him. Just a really interesting guy. I wonder if his mental issues also caused him to think it was normal to be exorbitantly shiny all the time. "I had a stroke after completing my PhD so that's why I can't remember my thesis or any specific details"*applause*Seriously, this guy must have never had anyone question his claims at any point in his life and that's what allowed him to progress so far on lies. That and the fact he was black and people were afraid he would label them as racists. Just an all around interesting story. I just want to know, did he kill himself because of the shame that comes with lying, or did he convince himself that everything he though of himself was true, and subsequently just had a mental break? So many questions, too bad he is dead.
Well, did anyone read (some of) it?
>>25503023yes so true, its so interesting. he is basically a fiction writer, but its autobiographical fiction, and he embodied it fully through LARPing and fantasy
>>25503023The parts of his work that weren't plagiarized had a really childlike voice. Like genuinely retarded. There's a free preview from this new book on Amazon, if you read any passage from it you'll see what I mean. On some level I don't think he lived in the same reality as the rest of us. The politically correct crowd that coddled him his whole life share a lot of blame.
>>25502946It's just Forest Gump but instead of retard he's a philosopher kang who was writing his thesis while being illiterate
>>25503414kek
>>25503023The system allowed him to, and so he did, not much different from anyone else.
>>25503023He also, actively, pursued serious repercussions for anyone who DID call him out. He reported several academic critics to the police, and weaponized his position and skin color to bully anyone who called him out into retracting their claims/silence. You can google this: "Jason Arday police" or "Jason Arday threats"Why do you think it was an obvious persona non grata who effectively kept pressing on Arday until he outed him to the world? He was already fired from his cushy job because of his personal veiws on race, was a no-name postdoc, and had nothing to lose. Arday gleefully benefited from a system where any criticism of his increasingly outlandish lies would risk the questioner's permanent career that they spent years studying for and possibly years more interviewing/postdocing to finally land. The emperor had no clothes; saying as much risked getting your metaphorical head chopped off. Even if the emperor is asking you how lovely his new robe and crown are and you're staring at his cock, you better bite your tongue and pretend that the robe is incredible. I'm in academia, and this is just the end result of a broken, stupid system. FWIW, I also think he was not very intelligent, a pathological liar/fabulist, and was so stupid he thought that, because lies 1-10 didn't get him caught, lies 11-100 could become increasingly implausible/impossible, and even contradict publicly available records OR his own previous lies!

He was based as hell. Fake it til' you make it. Rest in peace, Manipulator. We will be doing Dark Triad type shit in Hell soon enough.
>>25503414>instead of a retard
>>25503023SHIIIIIET YOU HONKEY ASS CRACKAS ALWAYS TRYING TO FINNA UNDERMINE THE BLACK KANGZ
>>25502934OTAY
>>25504152no one speaks like this
>>25504062It's only dark triad if u do it to somebody's detriment. Had Arday never been outed the cumulative pleasure he generated for tens of thousands of White liberals, and similarly the tens of thousands of Black kids he inspired to trailblaze into academia, by being "the best in the world" would've outweighed his further, marginal hollowing of an institution that has functioned as a weird chimera of an Old Boy's Club and Marxist Ministry of Truth since WW2, and sometimes does something that resembles science.
i stole this from reddit---Professor Jason Arday’s claims:- To have completed his PhD in 2½ years while working full-time and living with a brain tumour.- To have had a stroke immediately after graduating, causing him to lose his memory of working on his PhD.- To have run 30 marathons in 35 days, and 600 miles in six days, making him one of the best endurance athletes of our time. This was completed whilst experiencing an epileptic fit and fracture.- To have been threatened on campus at knifepoint before examining a PhD student, despite no police report or contemporaneous report to Cambridge staff ever being documented.- To have had a pig’s head sent to his family home, an incident for which no independent evidence or police record has been identified.- To have appeared in the Seven Up documentary series, despite no record of his participation in any instalment of the programme.- To have raised £5.5 million for charity.- To have been offered £1.5 million for his forthcoming book.- To have played both snooker and football at professional level.- To have been told by multiplecareer advisersthat he would end up living in a care home because of his autism diagnosis.- To sleep only two hours per night.- To have completed two masters despite only listing one on his academic portfolio. One of these masters was in psychodynamic counselling at Birkbeck College which would mean he is an accredited psychotherapist. - To have been a visiting lecturer at Ohio State University despite no records of this.- To have been a visiting lecturer at Glasgow University despite no records of this.- To have been a visiting lecturer at Nelson Mandela University despite no records of this.- To have been told by ‘Sam’ his colleague at Waitrose that he would scale Mount Everest, and a local aid worker in Brazil that he was “destined to do great things” and “destined for very sad and difficult things”.- To have had only 1 hour of supervision during the entirety of his PhD.- To have published a book called Being Young, Black and Male: Challenging the Dominant Discourse.-To have installed water points in South America and West Africa with the charity WaterAid, despite the charity not sending volunteers abroad.- To have been assaulted by his speech and language therapist, who allegedly shook him for not making progress.- To have had a mother who was mugged at knifepoint while heavily pregnant with him.- To have been named Jason afterJason and the Argonauts.- To have survived a severe car crash that left him in a three‑month coma, with doctors suggesting life‑support withdrawal.- To have been mugged and beaten in his late teens, developing epilepsy as a consequence of this, then later becoming lecturer and godfather to two of the perpetrators.- To have neither plagiarised his thesis or nor fabricated his qualitative interviews.
