@@mirmir8116 chill they had the same idea, care for a cup of tea?

He was a minor genius.

Something about his English makes me feel like even Satan would keep a good distance away from him

I think he's talking about himself when he said that...like he can't tell what's real or not cause of his sickness and he is a little aware of it sometimes but all he can do is try to live safe and do the best he can even though he can't fully understand the world

That bit always kills me. He's so vibrant and lucid... He deserved so much more from the world than what he got

That's overstating it significantly. Terry didn't write a full modern OS, he wrote essentially a 64-bit version of DOS32 with a barebones thread scheduler and terminal/GUI on top. It's not even in the same ballpark as something like Windows 3.1. In your car analogy, he hand built a 1 cylinder lawnmower engine with the crankshaft connected straight to the wheels and 2 lawn chairs duct-taped on top. His JIT compiler is actually more impressive from a programming perspective. The rest of it -- the graphics library/software tools/games/etc. are not particularly spectacular when you realize a talented programmer had 10 years of free time with nothing to do but sit in front of his computer. Not pissing on the guy, just keeping things in perspective.

@@funkyfedora5972 You realize that Terry didn't lookup on the internet how to code any of it tho right. He believed it was a sin against god to research that sort of thing because he wanted to find new ways of doing things so he would have essentially written it all himself and then he could finally phone home to god via the software. That was the whole point of it, a modern day noahs ark. He was instructed by god how to code it allegedly.

​​​​​​@@Runescape.I'm not too deep into the lore, but I don't know how true that is. The guy had been on the internet for years, had a masters in EECS and had apparently worked on embedded systems code for one or more companies before he became too disabled to work. He therefore not only had formal education in the basic theory of OS design and systems level programming, he also had experience with the actual low-level code of one or more commercial systems. Now if you told me he built his OS and compiler without ever seeing assembly code or consulting the Intel x64 developer docs, then I'd say he was a real genius. But as far as I can tell, he was just a talented programmer with a decade of time on his hands. All of the really tough parts of OS design -- preemptive multitasking with synchronization, efficient virtual memory management, a framework for drivers, a security architecture, asynchronous interprocess and network communication -- he sidestepped completely. He also seems to have retconned a lot of things in a self-serving way. The "God commanded 640 4-bit" stuff was originally "My screen painting algorithm is too simplistic to run 8 or 24-bit without maxing out the CPU." It's also worth pointing out that, as far as I know, nothing he wrote was ever really validated or alpha tested. There are almost certainly major issues with his code that will never be known, and it seems he went out of his way to avoid implementing things that would have made validating his work easier. OS keeps crashing? Well, there's no process separation and everything is ring 0, so maybe it's the program's fault. Does it adhere to network protocol standards or does it fail to communicate with other devices? No network stack, so no way to tell. Etc. Again, I'm not pissing on the guy's programming ability. But I don't think he was Mozart with schizophrenia.

I wandered around, wanting to be loved by anybody, yet I was rejected. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t see the family that supported me or my awesome friends. I focused on getting too much love from others, especially from a romantic relationship. I’ve grown, now. I’m a big boy who weightlifts, runs, did wrestling and rugby and I’m about to try out Krav Maga.

That's genuinely deep and insightful.

When you have a serious mental illness there can be occasions where you find a break in the dark fog where you see this one little thing or chain of things with extreme clarity. It’s just an odd thing that happens every now and again. I’ve come to notice that perspective can shift radically moment to moment which I’m sure is at least part of what triggers these epiphanic moments. If you’re wanting a source, I’m just speaking from experience. I have generalized anxiety, bipolar, depression, and ADHD. I go through bouts of deep suicidal depression about every 18 months roughly and the resulting stresses can lead to near psychosis. I’m not a doctor by any means, but I’ve spent enough time as a patient to pick up on the bare basics.

also as someone who isn't schizophrenic but is borderline and has some delusions relating to the people in my life, i cant attest to the schizophrenic experience but i can attest to the borderline one. and sometimes when you get so, so angry at someone over something so, so small, and internally wish violent death upon them and wonder why youre still friends and why you ever saw anything good in them -- wonder what the good you saw even *was* -- and then come back down two hours later bawling your eyes out because you legitimately forgot that you loved someone. you forgot everything good about your closest friend and you wanted them to die. what kind of friend even are you? arent you a bad person for thinking that way just because you were convinced for a fleeting moment that that person might leave you...? well, i do that maybe three times a week.

I can totally agree with that. As a schizophrenic, when I end up in a bad episode, there are moments of lucidity where I become overtaken with the realization of what is actually happening and it's really crushing.

Moments of lucidity can be heartbreaking. Sometimes they know they will eventually degrade back into insanity and it is sad when they realize that they will return to their own paranoid delusions. It is also sad because that is them, whenever they have moments of lucidity, you have them in their true form, but, soon, they will return to their insane behaviors, and it is heartbreaking.

8w9hf89hw you’re a living person. And that, is beautiful.

@@P4brotagonist keep on trekking man.

Is the OS completely bats insane? Yeah, But it works.

Adillionaire it truly brakes my heart sometimes knowing the true genius that was locked away, only to be squandered 2 years ago

No insult to Terry in any way, but your implying creating a compiler is tough :) If it were to take an entire team to create one, get a new team, or better yet, do it yourself.

I'm sitting here thinking I could get into programming and realize that this man was a damned genius :(

@pyropulse Oh no I didn't mean that, I meant this man is a damned genius and here I am thinking I could do the same things he could (with time and effort). The man coded a damn OS, even at low-level programming what he did by himself was no simple task that I don't think I could do.

@Nathaniel Francois Ojastro 1:11:00

He is wasted potential. I feel sorry for the dude. If only he got the help he needed.

Karma is too

I think pratically all his blabbering was a desperate call for help, from a somewhat sanner part. the worse thing is that nobody was there to help him, and he started devolving more and more. may his soul find peace in a beatifull land, because in this one, he suffered too much.

Amid the vastness of his delusion there is a clarity in his vision, although it is punctuated with an occasional falter that resembles lucidity...I have to wonder how many other prolific and worshipped creators and artists suffered similar fates

oh, im sure it makes total sense in his own mind. Its just neurtons firing in the brain and being transcribed through his words...every thought.

I am a caregiver and previously worked in a home with an individual very much like terry. In these moments, it’s almost like they start to come out of a haze and realize they’re not making sense, they’re being manic and aggressive...only to find something to rationalize it again. It’s a very vicious cycle and it’s heartbreaking.

Exactly, if you note it, Terry knew most of the time who he was dealing with or what he was saying, amazingly enough.

the internet is not responsible for his mental illness.

@@mailliw94 They exploited him and you know it

@@mailliw94 The internet exploited him and his ability. People called him on his phone just to make him rage on livestreams, people laughed at him for his disorders.

@@mailliw94 The internet made it worse by far

solidus snake They exploited him, but this what mental illness does to people.

God is good (seriously tho)

We've moved on from the freak shows of physical deformities of the past to freak shows of mental deformities. It is progress, in a certain way. At least the mental freaks aren't rounded up and locked away, out of sight out of mind.

Yeah, this is disgusting, even the comments here are mostly jokes about his delusions. He needed help, and instead got the internet.

Alternatively we are in an age where more attention is brought to people suffering from mental disabilities while increasing advances are being made in treatment. The people who need to know are more likely to notice the signs if they or a loved one start to degrade, and they are more likely to receive treatment now.

It's sad, he should have gotten help. Instead he died hit by a train, only remembered as a jester for 4chan and kiwifarms...

You ever laugh when your friend trips and falls? Dont mistake morbid curiosity and dark humor for malice

He rationalized that like a classic philosopher.

When I get depersonalized or otherwise overwhelmed by the absurdity of existence, I'll think about this quote, and it helps me carry on.

You should try to dig his stuff on reality, you'd be surprised how woke his stuff was

Helps when someone else had done a lot of the filming for you. Still massive amount of work to tie it all together.

Thanks for your time & effort!

The ethernet cable icons look way to similar to forks or sporks. Aside from that small gripe, the animation was absolutely excellent!

Graphics and music are on point, when it starts devolving you feel it, it's like silent hill turning over, you guys did an astounding job to go with Fred's astounding way of writing and narrating, honestly, best one so far

I think when you work on something this length it becomes a grind. You can easily lose your direction, simply with the sheer amount of information around. Fredrik held it together and the video is awesome. Great work as always Arc!

@@djhenyo thanks a lot for the feedback! They were indeed similar, maybe too similar, I'll see what I can do about it next time!

Moments of lucidity when you're that far gone have to be the worst and most punishing aspects of a deteriorating mental state. You _know_ something's wrong but you also won't have enough clarity for long enough to get a handle on it, and in a flash, the fog returns and coherence vanishes. Too far gone to help, but not far enough gone to never realize it. There comes a point when neurochemical problems within the brain are so pronounced that they can no longer be corrected medically and the damage becomes permanent, and he was at that stage.

you should watch that entire video. it was his last. posted the morning he died. one of his more lucid later ones. he really was a profound guy

Jesus that's so fucking sad. The mental health care system really failed him.

i actually cried a little

I'm an EMT too and you described the feeling exactly. It's just tragic really

53:10 Well he deserved it for the p3d0 shit. Too bad his family broke his mind and morality by r@ping him.

@@superbooster2636 what did reddit do? From the video it seems to me that they mostly ignored him/disliked his OS. Most of the messed up shit was done by 4chan

@@Bagginsess I went to school with a guy who ended up with schizophrenia and he would write crazy sexual pedo shit on his blog too. Weird. Dont know of any if those feelings are true or just schizo ramblings, same I'd say is true for Terry.

@@Bagginsess It's very likely nothing he said in that was actually true. The man was delusional.

Yeah. Over an hour of content, and all of it is in a neat, clean, package that doesn't waste your time anywhere. Just finished seeing a video of him explaining the Hurdy Gurdy machine. He talks about being able to give information about it because he's learned to play it. From what I understand, a feat in itself. When you look at this guy's videos it's pretty obvious he's an educated, talented guy

John Harman my only criticism is that he is overly generous with the fading to black.

Yeah its amazingly done. Beats most TV documentaries. It has great narration and even great production value for such a long piece.

And the narrator is probably one of the best around! I swear, KZfaq is a hot bed of raw talent in just about every area if you can wade through the hollow corporate drivel to find the gold.

I know, dtrh is kiulitee kontent

Yeah. That's something that some mental conditions do to people. We all live in our own "world" of words and values, but schizophrenia and other conditions do that to a whole another level. I fear that society as a whole is not ready to take good care of this people, but we have to keep trying.

Exactly. It's all in his mind that's what most of mental illnesses are and patients think: We are stuck in this world where people are controlling us, We are living in illusion and they know much more than us, Either they have some special power or they don't possess a value to live Then, they try to avoid us and go more into loneliness and keep drowning into their thoughts because their mind takes over their own decisions

He was a bipolar paranoid schitzophrenic, he was in his own universe.

@@prateekpanwar646 Do you think they are wrong?

@@prateekpanwar646 from my own experience with psychosis, that's exactly what it's like, and you 100% believe it's real. It 100% seems real too.

The things said about the OS in the video are quotes from people who used the OS at the time or people who didn't understand and/or care about it. I don't see how being objective in the reporting of old data is stating the OS is bad. That is simply the consensus reached by people on those old forums, not the mission statement of the video.

@@PsionicMonk if the documentary relays people's perception of the OS without really trying to examine its intended purpose there's something fundamental about the subject that's missing in the report, isn't it? And if this perception, that it's garbage, is relayed without being contested, that's basically what the documentary is communicating I'm not trying to be harsh on Down the Rabbit Hole, this is hard to understand if you're not the target audience, and the documentary is great one way or another, but this is something very important about TempleOS that shouldn't be forgotten

I would argue that he was a genius.

To me, TempleOS is art through programming. He created what he viewed as an oracle to speak with God through 1 and 0s, and there’s a passion in his work that even I as an atheist can’t deny, and that I can only describe as artistic. It inspires me, it breaks my heart.

​@@ruthie8785 well said

Callum Innes and everyone else with mental health issues and no support network

I live with a number of severe mental health issues, and I'm terrified that schizophrenia will take me next considering my family history and already failing sanity. I'm already extremely isolated, I couldn't handle it nearly as well as Terry had. He was a fighter in a lot of ways, even if it was complete nonsense he had passion for his projects.

I had a stepfather who was suffering from severe dementia. It seemed to bring about the worst in him, likely because he was angry and sad over his constant state of confusion. About a decade of suffering with this he had a few hours where he realized what was going on. This was surprising because he was barely talking at that point. He told us he was no longer confused and would focus on staying present. He even told us what things he wanted to give to each of us just in case he lost his clarity. All of those things were only stuff from a decade prior, some of which we still owned and some of which we didn't. After those few hours he went back to barely communicating. It was so depressing seeing no matter how hard he tried, mental illness pulling him away. His eventual death was a relief from suffering. I don't know what moment which brought his brain to a state of clarity, but I wish I did so I could have re-attempted it. Here's hoping neuroscience can find help for these people.

Indeed we failed Terry, I find it sad and wish that he had more help.

Callum Innes I agree so much, and this is the reason this video is so interesting but so incredibly sad.

It made an extreme amount of sense with how we look at the universe and existence. The bird will never understand the monitor, it can never, and I guess we can't ever figure out how existence works either.

That whole segment was just haunting. The whole situation is sad, and knowing there are countless more like him out there just amplifies that sadness. There is a mental health crisis in the United States that nobody wants to even discuss, let alone start work towards real solutions. Really, it's a medical crisis all around, because the only thing that may dwarf the mental side is the physical side, with insurance companies as well as all hospitals / doctor's offices / 'urgent care centers' / dentistry facilities all being partially to blame for why millions upon millions of citizens suffer (mostly in silence) on a daily, hourly, minutely, or just know no other existence but one in perpetual pain...and that's just in the US. The American Dream still exists, but for a very small percentage of the population. I'm talking top 1 - 3 percent. If you are outside of that percentage, it's really more like living an American Nightmare. One from which there is no waking.

His thoughts about his bird were so genuinely logical compared to the other things he said throughout this video. It really hit home for me and showed that underneath the illness was a brilliant man crying for help.

​@@HangmanOfficialUploads that's a fantastic analogy, actually

that part hit hard because im always thinking the exact same thing except with my fish and dog instead of a bird .

you need to learn HolyC

😭wtf
