Schizophrenic Software Developer Who Developed a Program to Talk to God

Terry Davis; As much as he managed to make a name for himself with his works aliens, men in suits following him, what he said about black people Issues such as these were frequently brought up.

The computer program he developed “written by a schizophrenic programmer” It was launched as. Indeed it was. Terry had a severe case of schizophrenia and was frequently institutionalized. If you are ready, grab your tea and coffee, let’s dive deeper into the life of this interesting man.

His life, which started with success, evolved into manic attacks.

Terry Davis was born in 1969 in Wisconsin, USA. He used the Apple II as a child and as a teenager Programming language on Commodore 64 he had learned. He had earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University in 1994 and had worked as a mechanical programmer at VAX (a digital equipment company) for several years.

Raised Catholic, Terry was an atheist for part of his adult life before experiencing what he calls “revelation from God.” Starting in 1996, recurring due to manic attacks He was admitted to the psychiatric ward every six months. She was experiencing delusions about aliens and government agents. She thought people were following her by wearing suits.

Signs of how psychologically unstable he was were increasing.

Terry in those years, donating large sums of money to charities made. He later explained this situation as follows: “This probably caused God to reveal himself to me and saved me.”

Shortly after this, Terry mentioned out of fear of people in suits He left the town and hit the road. Thinking that the car’s radio was communicating with him, he took his car apart and threw the keys into the desert. A police officer found him while he was walking aimlessly on the side of the highway. Terry broke his collarbone while running from the police and was taken to hospital, but he was also afraid of the X-ray and ran away from the hospital.

He began to imitate Jesus.

Terry was initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was later told he suffered from schizophrenia. Itself, Because he is an atheist who defends technology so much He expressed that he felt guilty and decided to imitate Jesus by giving away all his possessions and leading a nomadic life.

Terry, who designs machines when it comes to technology He was always level-headed. The operating systems he created were touted as “written by a schizophrenic programmer”.

Terry Davis single-handedly designed the “TempleOS” operating system through which he supposedly communicated with God.

Terry said he was in direct communication with God and God asked him to build an operating system. Project, programming language, core He created almost all of the basic components, such as, from scratch.

This was an extremely complex and unusual undertaking for a single person. “He also said the following about TempleOS:

“’TempleOS’ is an official temple of God. Like Solomon’s temple, this is a place where offerings are made and God’s oracle is consulted.”

He thought he could talk to God with the codes he wrote.

There were various random text generators in “TempleOS” and Terry believed that by generating this text one could talk to God. To this end, designed a random number generator called “god” and used it to create the scripts for “TempleOS”. Terry believed these were coded messages from God and likened them to speaking in tongues. To give an example of texts supposedly created by God:

“Among those sent criminal consequence perversion checked. Stated emotion judgment sky distress. Dakota Lip Suffer approached. The canst who displaced the feast did not understand anything by giving alms.”

According to Terry, the operating system’s features such as 630×480 resolution and 16-color screen are also available. They were God’s clear instructions.

He had his own fan base, but both his work and his statements were always the subject of controversy.

After “TempleOS” was completed, Terry spent most of his time coding, surfing the web, and “talking to God.” spent doing it. He also created a small fan base for himself, but he was not taken seriously by most people due to his heavy racist and homophobic statements.

While showing his works “the smartest programmer who ever lived” said Terry, who was banned many times on YouTube due to his vulgar expressions.

The schizophrenic programmer was walking next to the railroad tracks one day. He died after being hit by a train. It is still unknown whether his death was an accident or suicide.
