  Believe it as much as you'd believe a guy who thought that aliens and the CIA are working together to prevent the second coming of Jesus Christ and the God turned him into the smartest programmer in the world because he's The Chosen One to fight them by making an operating system based on God's direct instructions. It's his own words, and consistent with his behavior; he shared positivity towards black people too. He absolutely wasn't racist pre-schizofrenia - also a total atheist.

  >The idea that a kind of forced toxicity can be a necessary protection to do good is worthy of a dystopian sci fi novel! I don't know if it's fair to call it forced toxicity, so much as psuedo-toxicity; he's using it as red herring (or maybe a honeypot?) and following the rule: if you specifically want to be avoided by cancel culture... just get yourself cancelled :) That is, he's using the toxic word without the toxic meaning, to bypass shallow filters that lack the nuance to catch on. I'd say it's more of a kafkaesque bureaucratic distopia than a sci-fi one
