Yes Max Spiers was by authorities called a paranoid schizophrenic, yet still had a massive following. The same with Terry Davis. I am a computer scientist (programmer) too, during my bachelors degree, I met some geniuses. One guy with high level autism, really stood out. I had to look up the time cube guy. Yes that sounds exactly the same.
At the same time, if I was teacher in school, and my class of kids asked me why does the IDF shoot children, that are getting water from a tap? it would be hard to explain that the real world makes sense.
I went to private schools and I can assure you the people who rise to very top, like prime minister, president have psycopathic / scociopathic traits, not knowing right from wrong. My understanding is that way more people in society have this kind of mind set.
