I don't think that he would have an intellectual argument against it.

No.

I think by that time... You know, even before he descended finally into insanity, his very latest writings are really strange.

He was having organic degeneration of the brain.

I don't know if that's true or not, because a lot of people I know who have no organic problems with the brain talk and think just like that.

And I had, I had some pretty serious problems thinking when I was, when I was, when I was like that.

So I don't know if that's, it's the case.

I suspect that syphilis is a convenient explanation in his case.
