genius and madness

[Anonymous No.15388600]

Can genius exist without madness? Can any genius be considered mentally sane?

"mental illness" and "brain damage" are synonymous phrases. ted was not smart or successful. stupid losers identify with him because they are stupid losers.

Most "geniuses" are just autistic people who think differently and thus get called super smart. They do well on iq tests because most iq tests are just an autism test beyond a certain point. Autistic people are kinda stupid and naive though so I don't think they're that smart.

People like Newton and Ted were just incredibly dedicated to one subject their brain rewired to focus on it, but they had limited brain resources in the first place due to being retarded.

So yeah you need to be mad.

it's all about brain size,if brain is large enough to contains several "big" brain parts,it will be possible to not become schizo,but if brain is not large enough and contains "big" brain part, other parts will be damaged

it's true. Good needs evil just as much as evil needs good to exist. You cannot experience joy without experiencing pain. Everything good in life is only good because of the prior suffering.

Anon, you know neither of these men's works and are speaking from pure pulled-from-the-ass ignorance.

I'm not sure brain illness and damage are really the same thing. You can't really alleviate brain damage with medication. And mental illness is typically some form of chemical imbalance in the brain more than say having one side of your brain smashed in

This is absolutely wrong on any level. mental illness is not equal to brain damage. Especially if you consider all the personality disorders

Brain damage can be caused by non-physical means, such as chemical imbalances.
Many drugs cause brain damage.
Many prescription drugs cause brain damage.

both are conditions which cause impaired cognition. in the case of ted, as a young man he displayed the potential to be successful, but he decided to become a failure. spend his time jacking off to autogynephiliac fantasies and committed random murders as a means of dealing with his frustration at the bad choices he made for himself. his fellow harvard students all went on to have fantastically successful careers and families, ted humiliated himself as the loser of the group. now the frustrated losers of 4chan hero worship him while most everyone else thinks he should've been put to death instead of being treated as kindly as he was. even his own family hates him and considers him a waste of oxygen.

Ted is not a good barometer for genius. Plenty of smarter people are totally well adjusted to society. He was an above average grad student, not a seminal genius

I am not genious but was mentally ill for some time (psychosis).
From my experiance i would say it depends on which mental illnes we tallk about.
Psychosis drained my brain like a sponge, memory, atention and awareness where almost gone. Understanding simple concepta feelt like going to the edge of universe.
So i think it depends on what kind of mentall illnes we tallk about. If it is illness concerned with social life, perhaps yes there could be such genious. But who knows.. i see anon posted article about Newton being schizo...

True but not, I reckon autists are just hyper obsessed with one topic, and normally give up everything else (e.g., other topics, socialising, etc), basically an academic glass cannon.

Like a knifesmith who spent all his life making and studying knives, he will be really fucking good at making knives, but he won’t have the slightest idea of any other craft.

They are basically retards though, for society, social skills are important so not having those is a disadvantage (hence why academia is a tard ranch), but moreso having a general, well-rounded set of skills is infinitely better than a one trick pony, especially for anything that isn’t exactly “do this one job X amount of times” (which is mostly automated nowadays)
