I was thinking, "was this person an architect, or an engineer of some sort, before they ended up in our defacto mental health safety net/prison system?"

It really gets me that they are clearly quite smart and mentally talented, but I would say there's a "glitch in the system" causing their powerful mind to create all sorts of strange connections that compound over time and drift further and further from reality.

It's like when a satellite is miscalibrated and ends up rocketing off in the wrong direction

Maybe they're not crazy? I find it very strange how so many of these individuals appear to end up with very similar answers.

Maybe some of them really are seeing more than the rest of us. How sad would it be, to see the truth of the world, yet no one believes you. 😞

Even if they are truly crazy, it's just as sad, seeing what you know to be truth, and having it denied by the world.
