Would have been interesting if the data were some kind of spectrum. Like if the neural network didn't just put a blanket label on every scary section of the book as 'fear,' but were instead able to rate out of 10 how intense the sentiment is. Then in the barcode, the color of corresponding 'fear' sections could be on a scale of gray to purple, and same for the other sentiments. A less emotional book like Moby Dick may be more desaturated or something

Replace the cola cans with beer and it'd be the spitting image of me too

You're changing your statement a little bit. "Untreated mental illness" is much broader and more vague than pointing to BPD in particular, and likewise, "bad decisions" is also a pretty forgiving label to place on actively believing hateful things about a racial minority. What you specifically suggested was that BPD can contribute to someone holding racist beliefs, which, unless you have some kind of legitimate research on that, is a little bit of a stretch and potentially infantilizing to those who live with BPD. West is most certainly a mentally ill person divorced from reality, but suggesting that that's what BPD does to a person sounds... not true

Do you have a source on this? That sounds pretty infantilizing to BPD people if it isn't true

With all due respect, how does bipolar disorder factor into this? Being bipolar doesn't make somebody a hateful, vile, narcissistic person. Plenty of people live with mental illness and manage to not spew hate speech. Maybe he's just a shit person
