The glowies I get being a symptom. I'm not sure I buy the idea that someone is only super racist when they're having an episode, though. Plenty of his rants about black people had nothing to do with conspiracy theories. I'm not denying he was brilliant. |

It's a fairly well-documented phenomenon that people suffering from things like dimensia or alzheimers will behave inappropriately, in ways they wouldn't have earlier in life.
Whether they're expressing deep-seated beliefs or simply no longer able to filter invasive thoughts is hard to say. The brain is a complex system and damage caused by trauma or exposure to lead, for example, can also cause increased impulsiveness and social aggression.
I can't imagine how terrifying it must be to slowly lose control of your mind and 'self'.
