Yup. Terry Davis and his TempleOS are quite well known. I believe he suffers from schizophrenia although I do not know if this has been confirmed by anyone?
He is certainly a gifted programmer.

>@ID_AA_Carmack Lots of people think 640x480 16 color is real mode. TempleOS is long mode. God said 640x480 was a covenant like circumcision.
I do wonder though, some of the stuff he says not only has high comedic value, but is incredibly stereotypical of both angry disenfranchised nerds and right wing nuts, and has me wondering if it's just an epic troll job...
Sounds like a fundamentalist and racist to me :\
A delusion is a non-real thought that you perceive as true. Things like "I am Napoleon" or "The people on the roof across the street are talking about me" or "The CIA is watching me" are examples of delusions.
Schizophrenia is a profound delusional disorder where your entire mind is completely disorganized. Telling reality from the delusions are impossible because they are coming from the same brain hardware.
I very much doubt that someone intelligent enough to write a complete OS from scratch would be terribly abnormal as a person. Unfortunately Terry is sick, and unless he gets better, whole chunks of his mind are going to be simply wrong.
Maybe you're just projecting.
Yes it is, it's the NSA actually ;).
