http://www.geee.net/blog082.htm This is a list of the recent posts. There's no way he could be this dedicated to a "joke" website. The recent events mentioned suggest that it's not just changing the times dynamically, so the posts are actually recent. That's just scary. I wonder what kind of life he lives with the extreme paranoia of MI5 messing with him constantly. He needs medication, and a hobby to keep him away f…

The lives of those that suffer from paranoid schizophrenia are well 'documented' in popular culture. One such item you may be interested in is the film 'A Beautiful Mind'. It is based on the life of John Nash, but keep in mind it is a dramatisation rather than a documentary. There are also a number of 'simulations' on…

I have an interest in the brain and psychosis but do not want to "dip my toes in" without allocating sufficient time to research and study this. It's just such a complex issue and there seems to be such a large spectrum of psychosis, with schizophrenia being on the slightly more extreme end.

Then there is the drug induced psychosis/schizophrenia that can be turned on and off, which is equally fascinating.

Meh, the brain is too complex for me to think about right now. We could study it for years and would only know a small fraction of what's going on.

Wrong. World's hardest CAPTCHA: harm or allow a human, through inaction, to be harmed. (It's a reference to two of Asimov's three laws)

That's what I wrote the "humans.txt" captcha for: http://www.mrspeaker.net/2010/07/15/humans-txt/ Keep those pesky humans away.

Metal Meter Madness is pretty sweet I must say

What an odd website: http://www.geee.net/blog.htm I can't quite get it. Is it a joke? The writer[1] seems incredibly paranoid that the CIA are poisoning him and keeps overhearing agent's talking about killing him. The Captcha is a joke, but it seems out of place with the rest of the content. 1. http://www.geee.net/543u5.htm

http://www.geee.net/mv.htm It does not appear to a joke. It seems an awful lot like paranoid schizophrenia...

let's see whether he writes a new blog post about the sudden surge in traffic

"We" as in me and normal people without psychology or biology or neurology degrees.

Yes, "we" as in humans have no limits to what we can discover.
