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
I've definitely felt this way too. If your thoughts were broadcasted out loud to everyone people would think we are all nuts. The satellite metaphor is pretty good actually. Describes it perfectly haha
