They first responded to the thread’s only commenter a whole seven years AFTER the thread’s original creation, and has since been irregularly posting in the thread seeking help as if they’re perpetually trapped in the year 2000.
New chronology is an alternative history theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_chronology_(Fomenko)
The new chronology is a pseudohistorical conspiracy theory proposed by Anatoly Fomenko who argues that events of antiquity generally attributed to the ancient civilizations of Rome, Greece and Egypt actually occurred during the Middle Ages, more than a thousand years later.
The conspiracy theory further proposes that world history prior to AD 1600 has been widely falsified to suit the interests of a number of different conspirators including the Vatican, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russian House of Romanov, all working to obscure the “true” history of the world centered around a global empire called the “Russian Horde”.

TempleOS - a very gifted individual made his own OS from scratch by himself but was thwarted by his own schizophrenia and delusions of persecusion. He was also incredibly racist. Ultimately though it’s very sad story seeing him lose his grip on reality thinking government agencies were after him and he was a prophet doing God’s work. It’s a decade long saga, he ended up homeless for a long while and died a few years ago.
John McAffee - talking about delusional tech guys, this one takes it to the highest level. This guy travelled the world running from the u.s. govt for tax evasion, won a game of russian roulette through quantum immortality (debatable), killed his neighbor for poisoning his dog(allegedly), and was an avid crypto enthusiast. He was found dead in a spanish prison right before he could be brought back to his homeland. It was declared a suicide but many people don’t believe that.
it is terrifying how schizophrenia can just pop up whenever, completely unexpected. his came about at age 27 and completely derailed his life. i wouldnt wish schizophrenia on anyone
It was declared a suicide but many people don’t believe that.
Not saying he didn’t commit suicide, but he actually tweeted this:
Say what you will about him, the man revolutionized hammocks, for better or worse.
