it's funny cuz I initially started the show with a less than positive impression of John. he kind of comes off as your typical hateful medium fish in a small pond intellectual, even if it's truly a lovely town. Kinda just feeling like he's better than everyone and going on what initially seem like bizarre and tangential rants. Plus there are those initial vibes that he may be full of poo poo with regards to whatever he led Brian in on.

of course you find out that he's a complex and contradictory human being like the rest of us and get on this empathetic emotional rollercoaster

Nah but tbf for someone with such strong judgments and opinions (with a history of suicidal idealation) he did go into death completely unprepared
I mean it's hosed up that he didn't even leave some sort of mechanism/instructions behind to protect his mama. I understand the burden of being a caretaker, of having to take care of a sick mother, and I imagine it drives you crazy and cruel over a long enough period esp. if it's all your life is, but that part with her just being locked in a padded room or whatever was hosed up.
On the other hand, mental illness, plus when you're a suicidal atheist I doubt you care about what happens when you're worm food...so f the world. A man of contradictions just like the rest of us.
Maybe that just throws water on the fire of the idea that he really really wanted to leave money to help X or Y, or that he had considerable wealth left over at all
