By the time I was 18 I had advantages that few would be able to match. Several generations of educated ancestors. Houses full of books, records, art &c. No one ever in my life said I could not have a book I wanted.

I didn't achieve the heights of "orderly in a psychiatric hospital" like you but 20 patents (granted) and the fact that Intel (and many others) uses a molecule that I designed and synthesized to make all of their CPUs from 2001 until now takes away a bit of the sting of disappointment.

How Trumpian!
Deny reality! Now that's the dignified thing to do.
