Why would you fight while trying to teach something lol? You need to control your anger.

Lame post. Terry is a genius, yes he has mental problems but that's not even what makes him special. Yes he died. You can still see his work here: https://www.templeos.org/

He made his own operating system from scratch - that's pretty wild.

Yeah there's a two Terry A. Davis archive channels on YouTube (you can also download all his videos here: https://archive.org/details/TerryADavis_TempleOS_Archive). The "Down the Rabbit Hole" series on him is pretty good. Despite the schizo times he can be chill like in this video
The older videos are great, just him playing in TempleOS in a virtual box and explaining how things work in it. Cool if you're into that type of low level programming.

Crazy stuff. I've been watching a couple of videos of him. He is totally different in the video you sent, I assume he is on medicine there.
I had no idea that schizophrenia would affect behaviour in this kind of way. I thought it was more hallucinations and strange ideas, not that one would move towards being autistic and/or down syndrome-like. In some other videos he is basically drooling, constantly moving his mouth and staring.

I don't know much about those conditions but I can imagine he can get lost in his own mind pretty easily after spending a decade building that entire OS. I sometimes look stupid with my mouth open staring at the computer lol.
Some of his concepts are trippy to think about.... religion in machine code. Think about AI and it learning what he put out there. Could make the AI believe it can talk to God though TempleOS. Would make a far out sci-fi to say the least.
