This seems similar... a developer with no track record who can't find work, asking for funding for a speculative project instead of asking for employment, suggests a mental misalignment.

The main difference seems to be that Davis built something interesting and functional (if not profitable or practical), whereas gagoot.com seem more like Time Cube rambling.

Terry Davis had a fine resume and the intelligence to land any job. Unfortunately, his schizophrenia made working at typical jobs untenable. I don't believe society should have made him suffer for this, and we failed him.
