yeah, I heard he had some form of 'prophecy' that he was sent by god
to create this computer system. if Im not mistaken, I suppose he had some form of schizophrenia aswell
and the funny thing is that Ive heard its not like that absolutely astonishing work of art really
but that he was convinced that creating this was gods will. i must give him cred tho cuz that he created everything as a one man project.

A lot of it is random number generation and similar. Which, if you believe in divine intervention, maybe that could work. It does read like schizophrenia and you can watch some of the old videos of him using TempleOS. While he was really talented, he was also mentally ill. How they've chosen to remember him is reflective of that.

hahah yeah it sure sounds quite funny haha do you know if theres any like long youtube 'podcast' styled video of him maybe 30-60 min?
i like to have that in the background while I play WoW.

There used to be an archive on Youtube, but it got taken down. I lost the link to the mirror, but there were funny bits where he talked about "glowing CIA [racial slur]s" and whatnot.

Some videos are on Archive.org:
