Back before his project was called TempleOS, back when it was LoseThos, I didn't know his state of mind. Ran into some of the more disjoint and horribly worded statements on his sites and had no problems sussing out the wheat from the chaff.

In short, you don't need research to know when someone is off a bit. Our minds are great at pattern matching, but we get /lots/ of false positives. It's up to the higher level bits of our consciousness to figure out which is which. You just need to know what real tolerance and understanding is and fight off the urge to react to things on the surface.

Literally no-one in their right minds are going to write like that and expect to be taken seriously. Outright overt racism like what you claim you see in his posts just doesn't make sense in the contexts of code.
