    It is, by & large, mental illness. You’ve got people who exist well outside of the norm who help to make everything run. Doctors, firefighters, CEOs, just to name a few off the top of my head…I remember reading a whole list of occupations with higher rates of mental illness, psychopathy. And I thought yeah, that makes sense. These people are atypical in behavior, nature. That’s what makes them better suited for the task.

    Not all freaks are homeless on the street corner; this world runs on freaks. Innovates using freaks. We need freaks…carefully applied in their field, of course.
