What part is confusing you ?
For me it was the Joan of Arc thing.
But I think more generally the implied notion that mentally unstable people shouldn't be helped because of art.
Savants are on the spectrum but are genius. You cannot remove one without the other. The reason they are so brilliant is because part of the brain has been sacrificed to increase another part.
Obviously treatment is still good but you can't change it
The part where you didn't understand what I said, misinterpreted it so badly, assumed something that wasn't implied, and went on a rant equating people with dangerous severe mental illness (as in the kid in the article) to people in the creative arts.
Oh and also the Joan of Arc thing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
