I can relate in the sense that he still wanted to live a productive life regardless of this condition that he had.
If he really imagined the whole job that’s quite not like something I imagined going to an actual building n thinking I’m a code breaker there.
I wonder what he really was feeling like as he grew more older it appears that he recovered well if so that is such a inspirational story.

I didnt know that! I always looked up to him a bit because he overcame schizophrenia.
I saw the movie ages ago, before being ill myself. Wish to watch it again.
I’m very curious as to how he was able to carry on doing complex math while he had the disorder. Did he avoid the cognitive symptoms? I thought that was impossible.

Yes, in the movie he said that Adam Smith was wrong and that everybody could win.
However, he ignored the fact the blond girl gets no one. Thus she lost.
Anyhow, when this movie came out, this was the same time period that I proved that even a high school dropout could do better than Einstein. I created YouTube videos showing how just about anybody could come up with the so called Einstein’s theory of special relativity, along with deriving all of the special relativity mathematical equations. Google " KSP Special Relativity " to see just how I did it.
I love this movie.
I’m a Russel Crowe fan.

complex math would probably fit right in since he was so good at it…like the moment he saw light from a crystal glass reflecting on that guys tie. His mathematics approached movement of things together in a random manner or something like that if I recall the movie correctly. It’s one of my favorite films and my family watched it with me when it was first available on rentals.
wow thanks for reminding me of all this.

The movie is pretty exaggerated but realistic when you apply a more metaphorical interpretation. John Nash’s need for social balance was so complicated he was locked in that need for dialog paradox.
What did he do? He allowed the chaos to be filtered down to a young female and an older male role model.
Both characters encouraged his delusions… and the real John Nash did actually contribute something disproportionately powerful to modern math. Game theory it’s called… evolved into social control theory… now just called control theory… no wonder why the dude thought he was utterly nutters when he began to contrive it.
The older male play the role of big brother… or so the film states… the dude was just seeing to much and his mind was unsupported so out of need new fictional entities were born (or that’s my opinion)… he also didn’t pay a squats worth attention to the people around him… dude did kind of make it… naturally happens.
Watch this too…
and by make it… I mean find world recognition and presumably cushy wealth to some degree.

Oh his son… yes his son seems to act more like what I would expect a schizophrenic to act. Somehow I got the idea that the senior Nash conquered it. That’s what I’m trying to do, since you can’t cure it. He’s had a lot of experience, I hope his son can improve too.

Ah I like the courage behind your approach!
I do believe it can be reintegrated as a new facet within a functional self… I have done well pushing down those roads.
Be safe though… John Nash was brilliant but I’m sure he lost it at times. He believed he was speaking to gods and aliens throughout his life… again though. He was a veritable super intelligence… I think the fictions within his head were just falls pillars that his better conscious needed to be there.
I think we all have something in common with that in having our own hallucinated and distorted reality… it’s in an odd way the only support the universe could muster for us… the capacity for inner friends and forces.
Schizophrenia really is a tragedy… I don’t understand it… I see faces of friends, foes, and fictions all day… none of it really has a purpose… but I do it emotionally consoles me.
If I was to get real about it… I think it actually helps me buy patience in the face of a slow and disappointing world I live in.
Edit: SUCH POTENTIALLY GREAT ENDS ARE OUT THERE!!! Let none of us forget… we can improve our lives.
