    I wonder if Howard is actually suffering from a diagnosable psychotic disorder. He appears to delusional - and not as a figure of speech. Delusional in the clinical sense.

    Hearing his Howard’s words, juxtaposed to what was written to him, is pretty bonkers. He thinks he’s a genius that can reinvent math, and he gets super defensive at any polite and candid feedback of his bizarre work.

        I know diagnosing someone off random internet videos is a silly thing to do, but every time this dude pops up in the news, my brain jumps to “there is something significant in the DSM for this guy.”
