As a highly skilled computer programmer with bipolar disorder and the checkered past to go along with it, Blake Lemoine's profile blurb makes me think he is also differently abled.

It's kind of fun thinking Jesus is orchestrating coincidences for me to send me on the right path, but I laugh about it and don't expect others to believe me. It's easy for me to project my mind onto the world around me. I'm not accusing Blake of anything, I'm only noting that some of us find it easy to fool ourselves.

Yes. Thank you for stating this so respectfully!

On the chance that he didn’t personally make a world-changing discovery while being stymied and persecuted by all the powers around him, his runaway mind likely just set him down a path with very significant personal consequences. And indeed, it sounds like it might not be for the first time.

It’s a pretty sad story in that case.

A very low dose of the anti-psychotic Quetiapine (25mg) has set me on the right path, not Jesus LOL
