Jack Kerouac was???
I guess so. I didn’t read the list. I just posted it
Oh no. My initial thought was, “Uh oh, what did I do now?”
I don’t think I could be a celebrity. It would be a matter of time before I said something weird or politically incorrect. I couldn’t live with a persona in the limelight.

You have a really good personality for youtube. That’s what I meant.

Really? I dunno. I’m kinda boring. Plus I’d probably get drunk one day and confess my love for Anne Hathaway. Jk.

What you told me about the cartels where former soldiers are the leaders really changed the way I look at a lot of things now.

Oh yeah, those things do get kinda interesting. It’s usually not a good idea to make YouTube videos about it. Well, at least it’s treading a fine line. There was this one YouTube personality in Mexico, some loudmouth kid who insulted a known drug trafficker… he was found dead not long after.

It’s usually dangerous to talk about such things publicly.

Not many famous people with schizophrenia because the illness is rare and that level of functioning is even rarer.

being famous was one of my delusions. But as I regain my sanity I realize how bad a decision becoming famous would be, even if I were talented enough at anything.
Maybe I’d write a book in the last 5 years of my life and release it after I died. But it’d be scary enough to be famous even with all my pronoia. With my sense coming back, it just isn’t rational. And I’d hate to put myself out there in general much.
I think most szs with delusions of fame like I had. Even if they gained the functioning back, they would also gain the sense that fame isn’t worth it. Maybe my situation is all unique though.

Zelda Fitzgerald.
Shelley Duvall definitely has some kind of psychotic illness.
