Interesting quote from Dean Koontz

TheDarkKnight ๐Ÿšซ

Koonze: I came across a thirty-year study of 15,000 people who earned all or a significant part of their income through creative writing of one kind or another - and the headline was: EIGHTY PERCENT OF WRITERS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA. When I showed it to my wife, she said. "Can you believe it's only eighty percent?"

When I showed it to my wife, she said. "Can you believe it's only eighty percent?"

Well, my guess is that at least 15% are able to hide those tendencies from their friends and family.

I have just about every mental disorder out there, save hypochondria.

If you do self-diagnose with hypochondria, you should treat it with placebos. Speak to your pharmacist.

The modern day equivalent would be:

EIGHTY PERCENT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA

(and that includes AIs!)

(No, I believe you'd have to post something to reveal schizophrenic or megalomaniac tendencies.)

Now get out of my head and let me further my plan for global domination :-)

A self assured cat will sit on the keyboard when it decides it's time for attention.

Alas, I know that all too well. Mine would sit on my lap with their forelegs on the keyboard and their chin on the spacebar...

The twats.

Why? People with cats on their laps are always foiled by James Bond.

@awnlee jawking

And they are foiled by James Bond because they are taken seriously. You wouldn't set a superspy on a nobody of consequence, would you?

Nah, it would read "80 PERCENT OF POLITICIANS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA!

I think you are understating the political situation.

@FantasyLover

Nah, it would read "80 PERCENT OF POLITICIANS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA!

That's underwhelming - these days 100% of politicians are on social media, so that percentage merely reflects society as a whole.

The rest are better at lying.
