If he weren't a schizo, he could do much more - a fully-functional OS.

What a waste of talent.

It was God who ordered him to to make it and it is a fully functional OS just no networking except for the direct contact with God.

If he didn't talk to God he would just a be a nameless coder working for big companies like he did before his apotheosis.

But, I don't think he heard god. He heard to his own delusion.

Why did god speak to him in unintelligible, random words?

The third temple must be in physical building - not an OS.

Delusions or God, without it "he would just a be a nameless coder working for big companies".

Why did god speak to him in unintelligible, random words?

God didn't do that... he first was guided by God through his Radio during his first psychotic break. Now I'm not so far (in the archive mentioned below) as to where he mentions coming up with his dictionary bash script, but in TempleOS you can speak with god about chess and other things, it's not random, it's just God guiding you. When you're honest the words are of God and will guide you.

His bash script (named 'gw' as in GodWord, GodsWord, GodWords and GodsWords) was for Ubuntu and goes like:

printf "$(shuf -n 32 /usr/share/dict/words-insane --random-source=/dev/urandom | tr '\n' ' ')\n"

except with another dictionary. But again, that's not in The Temple. (Youtube is scrubbed except for some meme videos, but here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFgtYrw4J8 @3:20 you can see the chess talk).

The third temple must be in physical building - not an OS.

Nope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Temple#Christian_views

And the whole wikipage are just the views of the book-dwelling, by doctrine enslaved and gravely mistaken self proclaimed authorities on the word of God.

If you're interested I've got a magnet link somewhere linking to a +-875 (or 850) GB archive compiled prior and after his death because of the internet purge he routinely was subjected to. (Largely because of his limited vocabulary when it came to people he disagreed with).

I'm surprised that you believe in his words.

If he took his meds, I'm really really sure that he would be alive today.

? Where did you get that impression?

If he took his meds, I'm really really sure that he would be alive today.

I know of no pill nor serum that could stop a train.

I've not (yet) heard him speak about what medication he took, but while he took it and after he stopped there was little difference except he seemed more cheerful. Even when he was on his medication, he still got in fights with his parents and after he became homeless after his last mental hospital take in, I wouldn't know if the system provided him with any medication at all.

Taking 'meds' isn't a wonder-cure especially when you're isolated in a small room in your parents home or homeless.
