Serious question, why is insanity or madness so common among mathematicians?
Assuming the genius mind is merely a thing that exists, then why is it in mathematics where is becomes most vulnerable to insanity?
I think of the movie [math]\pi[/math]. Like somehow knowledge becomes dangerous not just externally but internally.
The schizos on /sci/ are all obsessed with math.
I was once seduced by mathematics and it terrified me to the bone. It was not something for the sane minded, I knew that well and so I abandoned it so that I might remain somewhat bliss. Yet, I am still scarred by it. It haunts me ever, as if it were a curse.
It allures you with beauty, but when you traverse beyond the pale you are meet with a black ocean. I stood there and turned away.
So I stayed in finance, pretending none of it happened, like everything was normal.
If God is anywhere he is within the vast of that stygian ocean where no man belongs.
Am I a coward for being a afraid of mathematics? I don't want to become shattered like even the greatest mathematicians. I am made humble.
Even if it's just the insane drawn towards it (which it cannot be uniquely) then why?

And I cut my hair in a mohawk (I think before I saw Taxi Driver.)

Just it comes natural for God's lonely little men...being lonely in active firefights because Im a lonely little man moping While Being Shot At, just kept walking like the "Incel Meme Walking.jpg"

>"His PKM is overgassed and cycling too fast, its going to ruin his accuracy and wear." I said as he fired about 150 rounds at me while I walked across the open base...hand in pockets, lonely.

Note that there are genuinely great schizophrenic mathematicians out there but you, no doubt, aren't one of them. You couldn't even solve a simple CW complex

I would assume you have a PhD in either Pure Mathematics or Psychology (Psychiatry dont, kick rocks like a Master's degree.)

You *DO* have qualifications to be making these Judgements, correct? I am ready to count-point you into revocation.

Youre not "diagnosing" either.

Youre using buzzwords to imply superiority, its disgustingly pathetic...

I don't know what's with these delusions of grandeur some of you schizos have. You can be a schizo and still be an idiot.

Why do you even want to be seen as a schizo so bad anyways?
That itself is deranged, but not schizophrenic.

You have to live in abstraction to find something new in a field entirely defined by it. Autists, schizos, and anyone who lives in their heads 24/7 (i.e. insane people) are by far the best candidates for this, because the real world of experience won't distract them.

People who have never confronted insanity are not truly sane and lack the emotional disinterestedness required for flexibility in problem solving. In undergrad topology, we had a substitute professor one time who described the "antagonist method" for learning the art of proof discovery. The Devil is trying to defeat your attempt at a solution. If your hypotheses are too strong, he can defeat you just by showing you a relevant feature of a hypothetical counterexample that is actually impossible. There is no such thing as good or bad faith in exact sciences, something that normies don't get.
