Fabian, I'm sure you can read the above in a quieter moment and 
recognize that you were having an episode.

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter how much your mind TELLS you that 
you are brilliant and capable and way beyond ordinary mortals. If you're 
not able to operate usefully in the world, then something is wrong. And 
until you recognize that something is wrong, then you're going to get 
fooled by the lies from your own mind every single day.
