This weekend TNT is airing "A Beautiful Mind". If you haven't seen it, it's on several times this weekend. It's the story of John Nash and his battle with schizophrenia. Most of the world's economies are based on his Equilibrium Theory of Economics. He's such an interesting character who still teaches classes from time to time and they say answers emails. When I was in college I did my senior research seminar on the biochemical theories of schizophrenia, and I am friends with a couple people with the condition, but this film gave me a great insight into their struggle. It's interesting how such a disorder can certainly cripple someone's life, and yet be mechanism to drive them.
