Fair enough, you're young. I'm impressed, by the way, you seem very intelligent for your age. Kids are getting more eloquent and forming critical thinking earlier, internet is amazing. This isn't severe schizophrenia, this is just plain religion/schizoid/basically the same thing. Severe schizophrenia results in the shirtless man with one shoe on stumbling down the street screaming at cars. This is just religion. Pretty much the majority of the world population agrees with this line of thinking. Everyone's brain starts to break, and we fall apart. Everyone is a tattered, delusional mess by the end, some worse than others. Stress can fuck you up. Just coding on one thing for too long can fuck you up. Learning too much can expand your mind to the point where your world doesn't make sense anymore. However, even if you talk in gibberish equations, if you've got your appeal-to-authority badge (PhD) and approval sticker (work for a corp) nobody can tell you you're crazy. It is, however, kind of insane to lock yourself in a patent office and scribble equations about how invisible things work, and go around telling people you understand why the moon makes the water rise. Non-religious people take medication or see a therapist and dismiss the "crazy thoughts" and repress them away. Religious people believe it is God/The Universe/Whatever calling to them and that they should follow their heart and go sing hymns in a megachurch with 1000 other schizoids. I take it your dad isn't religious. I think Terry Davis is saying he's schizo because that's the only way to be himself and say what he really thinks on the internet (by agreeing with their assessment) which typically mocks any alternative thinking to utter destruction. I'm betting that he feels pretty awful about how badly they mocked something he was so proud of, and is probably very frustrated that 99% of them obviously can't even begin to have any concept of the difficulty of the work. So he's just burning it down now and not giving a fuck. Good for him! Imagine that Linus is indeed bi-polar. That means he is in fact statistically more dangerous than Terry here. I'm betting he's had quite a few "Matrix" moments himself and has the business/social sense to hide it. That actually makes him less respectable in idealistic terms, but more successful and respected in our superficial society. Them there's politics. If Terry was a greedier and more calculating man he could have disguised and concealed his true nature in order to push his agenda and perhaps gain financially. He chose not to. For this deed, the internet's response is utter lack of respect and mockery, showing how shallow in general the net is. FOSS was started by a bunch of insane hippies, and computer programmers in general were pariahs. How society views insanity over time changes as they understand and accept the changes. Look at Stallman, dude is at least as insane as this guy, he just has the cred to get away with it. He also doesn't show off his Matrix hacking skillz, but I bet he's had his share of moments.
