I'm glad that you are still a believer in Coffee!

Other academics think it's bipolar that provides value

I've seen others argue for schizotypy using the same biographical examples rotfl.

My working slogan now is "Schizotypes transmute ("magic") Coffee to Coin ("value").

The flip side: (functioning) Schizotypes (adjoining academia) have lost their obsession with magic, AND self-diagnosed this loss with depression/anxiety/senescence etc. it's more subtle imho, but CS is a confounding factor (muddling the pipeline between "dopamine" and "coin", as exemplified by TFA)

Status doesn't fuck with Schizotypes all that much... Unless? Let me affirm that you are "NPD-free" from my vantage point :)
