THE TALE OF THE CRAZED VISIONNAIRE

Once upon a time some masochist woke up and snorted a gallon of glue. "I NEED PAIN", he shouted, and then proceeded to hammer down his own cock over an iron anvil, in an effort to uncover the most intense pain a human could experience. And yet even such a punishment was not enough, for our pain-starved hero thirsted for even higher heights. "This hammering can't satisfy my spirit", he proclaimed; "I shall find ever greater pain than what little solace these tools can provide, but it's much too hard a task for a single mortal to complete in one lifetime. And lo, I will gather around me the bravest and uncover the intense sorrow no human has ever experienced before!". And for his journey he found himself a loyal fellowship, all striving to find the ultimate pain a mortal can experience.

"But who could be crazy enough to follow a glue-fueled schizo who hammers their own genitals?", you might stupidly ask. But why, the JS community of course.

> me, knowing full well the average dev is a retarded mongrel I wouldn't trust with a hotdog stand, without even going into the whole "Musk is a schizo" story

someone called me schizo earlier today and this has been happening increasingly so I actually made an attempt to look into it

it was a Russian guy and he claimed it happens normally and I just give that vibe. ok. so go on wiki and switch schizo wiki page to Russian. the Russians have so much more nerdy wiki pages and I just love it

tldr; schizo isn't really a real thing. the correlation is life trauma and social exclusion, and you have more dopamine in the limbic (emotional wanting) part of your brain than the neocortex (thinking, planning) part of your brain and this burns out your emotions and gives you apathy but also gives you hallucinations and neocortex atrophy because no dopamine for adequate thinking

and the anglosphere says 80% genetic... but Russian wiki says if you backtest there's zero genetic correlations (and also very long tirades about how unreliable diagnosing anyone goes... also medication worsens outcomes and CBT and supportive environment cures people fine HMMM)

so basically it seems like... a lifetime of wanting things emotionally but no matter what you do you're not allowed to have them and them's the rules, malforms brains into apathy, delusional thinking, and underpowered logicking ability. so then the doublebind theory really does drive people insane... and schizophrenia doesn't really exist. there was also a curious theme of schizos being "frustrated" which tracks with this theory

idk people keep posting such non-dev things on here

oh yeah wtf, they do insulin comatose therapy? it actually works also. the Russian wiki says it doesn't but apparently if you apply insulin to the brain the limbic system that has high dopamine in schizophrenia has a reduction of dopamine... because the recycling neurons in that area will start recycling the dopamine fast if you give them insulin. so it would literally work. I don't know about pumping someone so much full of insulin that they go into a coma though. i've never even heard of that. BUT SO COOL

... also there was a quote on there about how neurologically they can't tell the difference between depressed brains and schizophrenic brains lol

I imagine being a schizophrenic developer must be entertaining, like imagine you're fixing a bug and your homie comes up with a genius suggestion, I mean, more minds help resolve problems faster.
