I am a heavyset, high functioning disorganized schizophrenic (diagnosed this year) and atheist with a background in mechanical engineering. I mostly just fix tractors, cars, etc for people as I no longer have a steady job due to a lack of motivation brought on by depression (side effect of schizophrenia).
I support Jacques Fresco’s vision of a resource based economy where creativity becomes the driving force of humanity, not the accumulation of material goods.
I am terrified of losing myself to mental illness, and have since been obsessed with learning new things, experiencing new music and generally educating myself as much as possible before I start falling apart. I have become enthralled by Jean Baudrillard, and Arthur Schopenhauer for reading material and Doctor Steel for his music.
