But it's not easy. When he got better somebody asked the real Nash why,
being a very logical man, he found it so difficult to reject insane fantasies,
his response was " because they came from the same part of my mind as my
mathematical ideas". He had two sons by the way, one got a Ph.D. in
mathematics at about the age of 19 and then went insane just like his father,
the other son was of only average intelligence but was a perfectly sane well
adjusted person.
