    I wonder if Howard is actually suffering from a diagnosable psychotic disorder. He appears to be delusional - and not as a figure of speech. Delusional in the clinical sense.

    Hearing Howard’s words, juxtaposed to what was written to him, is pretty bonkers. He thinks he’s a genius that can reinvent math, and he gets super defensive at any polite and candid feedback of his bizarre work.
