I am curious if there are other examples in history of people who appear or are technically competent but were (or probably were) suffering from a mental disease.
I know a few artists/painters who went insane (and few suicided), but in technical/science domain I don't think I know anyone such.
- wladimir 15y agoMany others. As a recent example, Len Sassaman. He suffered from clinical depression and eventually suicided. Mental illness in scientists/engineers gets way less exposure than with artists, which are more visible to the public.
- brador 15y agoNash (crypto) would be a famous mathematician example.
- kristopolous 15y agolots ... but im not going to name them here.
