Default A Beautiful Mind


What was the name of the illness that the college professor who was the
subject of the film A Beautiful Mind was suffing?

I'm seeing patterns in things again:

Paranoid schizophrenia. Causes its sufferers to lose touch with reality.

Typical.

Some people get glittering prizes and a girl. I get a prescription and a
death sentence.

Well, at least I won't have to buy new curtains and a lampshade in the
near future, then.

Even though I am delusional, there IS a pattern there isn't there?

Hmmm I've listened carefully to your plight, but I have to say I'm in two
minds with the schizophrenia analysis.

LOL. Nash's work is the bane of my life in Economics, did well in a module
