He was a genius.

It is said he "surpassed antiquity". His art was beyond perfection of the original grecian masters.

Food, cleanliness, appearence ....all are superfluous.

Yeah it can be gross. Ive known one or two people that were a kinda like this.

Brilliance comes with its own priorities 🤷‍♀
