“Exodus”, what a great name for this project. Very cool.

There were a few candidates for this like "GENESIS - Godly Emulation Not Encountered, System Is Sacred", but that sounded way too biblical (you get my point), or "SANCTUM - Sacred Assembly for Navigating Computing Technology with Unity and Majesty" which was too long and felt almost condescending in a way and both didn't feel like it expressed what EXODUS does clearly enough.

After all, it's EXODUS is an "exodus" of the TempleOS kernel from ring 0 to 3, so I rolled with it.

Terry was a devout christian, genesis would have been a good name too!

And a devout racist

and a suicidal schizophrenic, race hardly has anything to do with it

Right because blacks are such rabid animals that we're gonna cry racism when it's clear he is mentally unwell. You can keep your reactionary savior bullshit, thanks.

My comment wasn’t for your benefit.

To me there's only two reasons why people bring this kind of thing up with regards to schizophrenic person's unacceptable behaviour -- either they have no qualms with taking cheap shots on someone they know to have a crippling mental disability, or they're oblivious to the suffering that this kind of mental illness causes.

So which is it? Do you understand that schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that can cripple an individuals ability to process reality and participate in society?

I hate how there's at least one discussion about how a clinically insane man on a disability check that got hit by a train said the n word and did insane things. I know that and his OS is what's best known about him but I really want people to not think about the former when discussing about the latter. Why would that even matter?
