I know what you mean, but it was mostly because of his illness that he had phases where he talked only conspiracy theories ("The CIA ni*as glow in the dark"). He had phases where he talked many subject with full awareness of his own illness and without cursing.

The glowies I get being a symptom. I'm not sure I buy the idea that someone is only super racist when they're having an episode, though. Plenty of his rants about black people had nothing to do with conspiracy theories. I'm not denying he was brilliant.

It's a fairly well-documented phenomenon that people suffering from things like dimensia or alzheimers will behave inappropriately, in ways they wouldn't have earlier in life.

Whether they're expressing deep-seated beliefs or simply no longer able to filter invasive thoughts is hard to say. The brain is a complex system and damage caused by trauma or exposure to lead, for example, can also cause increased impulsiveness and social aggression.

Schizophrenic people mimic their media environment. Schizophrenic people not surrounded by racism don't invent racist theories.

There are actually quite a lot. Some with real wisdom in them.

Take a look at his original account on here and you will find some - but also, there are many videos in which he has lasting moments of lucidity. Typically when talking about his old hobbies and passions.

Completely normal and not even slightly unhinged conversation - one would never know he was otherwise the ways he were.
