The guy really is an absolute genius in every sense of the word... Even when you parouse his often extravagant ramblings, whilst he has some views that might seem challenging to those who consider themselves normal, it is clear when you read through the brash, confrontational manner in which he conveys his ideas, It's easy to see that he is a man who does an incredible amount of thinking, and has some fundamentally sound ideas about things as a whole. His thought process seems to operate on a very predominantly logical plain, with little regard for emotional considerations, yet still with a certain creative flair... which is what makes everything he does seem so bizzarre. But it works for him, at least as a developer if nothing elseI feel sorry for Terry. Obviously a brilliant mind if it weren't for the schizophrenia.I sure hope there's an actual cure for it soon so people like him can continue to do amazing work without all the problems.
It is a damn shame that his brilliant mind has, as Paralel put it, at some point or another entered the realms of being a disability, but again... treatment would entail treading a very thin line with people suffering this kind of torturous mental illness. on either side of this line, you have the status quo (The condition and the unbound brilliance it entails in the case of some. but also all the vices that come with it), or the distinct possibility of a normallish life being had at the expense of one's unfathomable talent possibly being subdued along with the illness.
Nonetheless, it is a damn shame that anyone must suffer the worst of schizophrenia or any other such severe mental disorder.
