My comment was from a place of empathy regarding his possible situation, but it doesn't mean we should encourage Edwin or put his ramblings on a pedestal. Also autism isn't a mental disability, but schizophrenia is and is manageable with the proper diagnosis. I appreciate the pattern-seeking efforts (a symptom of schizophrenia - hyper-vigilence & pattern-seeking; blame snakes for honing our ancestor's brains), but his latest stuff is practically nonsensical - aside the already nonsensical Qanon stuff. I didn't realize he had gone off the deep end until reading into his Dr Eyeball thing this morning - I had to go to TwitterX for the full-res image of the texts, and I actually didn't see anything concerning in Eyeball's messages... Which led me to review Edwin's other stuff and was appalled. Everything I read of Edwin's tried to, poorly, to link every conspiracy theory thread to every other similar thread, and a dash of our stocks too. I'm all for entertaining the possibility of some theories where actual evidence exists, valid unanswered questions, etc. but his recent posts are just... Unsubstantiated and lacking in links between points A, B & C of any sort. I hope he is OK.
