Terry’s entire life and sense of reality are twisted in ways you probably can’t even imagine unless you’ve tripped before. You seem to lack the empathy to imagine what it’s like to live as a Schizophrenic. I just ignore the racist bullshit along with the religious nonsense just like I would from someone with turrets syndrome or dementia. By doing so, it frees me to admire the beauty of his mind and work. I’m sorry you can’t.
I have empathy for violent criminals with frontal cortex damage resulting in poor impulse control too, but I don't excuse the violence or say it's ok or pretend it didn't happen and doesn't exist. Do you see the distinction?
