This also goes beyond the artistic vs scientific mentioned here. But extends to scientific vs philosophical/theological, though the line here is more blurred. An example to my point is Blaise Pascal, creator of the Pascal system of measuring pressure and of Pascal's wager regarding whether God is or isn't real and following the tenants therein.

I adore your mini-docs, Kevin. This one is extra special for me, though. In the 90s, my parents visited the UK on a tour. They toured Dahl's home, which is a museum now. They heard a portion of the info in this video. My mother became obsessed. She brought my partner and I copies of books she had bought there. She tried to tell us all about what she'd seen and the stories behind the books, but it all came out mixed up, so we just didn't quite get it. Now I understand some of what she was trying to to tell us. I really wish she was still around so I could tell her that, and have her watch this video. She would have loved it.

There is no difference between an artistic mind and a scientific one, it takes creativity to come up with new solutions to problems. I find coding very much like an art the same way.

I am personally going through brain discombobulation myself after being misdiagnosed and put on antidepressants which made me worse and was then put on more hard core stuff to deal with the rare side effects misdiagnosed as something else again which has messed me up so much, it's much like trying to recovery from brain injury without any visible damage. Coming off the meds was so damaging to my CNS that I was in and out of hospital multiple times over 2 years. They don't want to say it for what it is, but it's basically PAWS, same as or similar to those with addiction suffer once they are sober, it lasts for years and sometimes decades and I am 3 years in and live home and often bed bound due to the excruciating pain and symptoms that come from my brain trying to recover. There doesn't exist any rehab or therapy for those injured by common psych meds handed out by doctors. I feel I lived a similar life to Roald, medical issue after medical issues and family members die from rare diseases, many of which myself and others in the family have were neurological in nature.

Consider researching all available natural methods that might help you detox and find yourself again. Even some of the more extreme ones could be the key that unlocks your healing.

I believe there's a natural treatment that can help everyone. But you have to do the online research and consider what might work for you.

For example their wedding photo plus Patricia after stroke and one with Dahl wearing his Norwegian sandals which he sent to Quentin Blake, the illustrator and that's why BFG is wearing them in his drawings.

His system for helping his wife make sense to me. For example my partner is autistic, a lot of her life she was catered for and helped. To help her become independent, i forced a lot of hard situations upon her, if i say something i dont think she understands i get her to explain it until she gets it right, if she stutters or cant think of the words we sit and wait until she can figure it out (did start with basic soothing that she likes to reduce stress and frustration such as rubbing the back of her head, neck, shoulders and back.) In the last 22months shes gone from what most would describe as childish, lacking understanding and worrisome to almost fully independent, capable of understanding complex emotions and social cues and she processes and thinks quicker, even whens she’s stressed and thinks she cant, her meltdowns have gone from daily to every 2months.
