*"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity"* --Terry Davis

Terry A. Davis, aka the *divine intellect*, born 1969, was a genius/schizophrenic [programmer](programming.md) that singlehandedly created [TempleOS](temple_os.md). For that he became a legend and a [meme](meme.md) in the tech circles, especially on [4chan](4chan.org) which additionally valued his [autistic](autism.md) and politically incorrect behavior.

He was convinced he could talk to God and that God commanded him to make an operating system with certain parameters. According to himself he was gifted a *divine intellect* and was the "best programmer that ever lived". Terry was making [YouTube](youtube.md) talking/programming videos in which God was an often discussed topic. He was also convinced that the government was after him and often delved into the conspiracies against him, famously proclaiming that **"CIA [niggers](nigger.md) glow in the dark"** (the "glowing in dark" caught on as a phrase used for someone suspicious). He was in mental hospital several times and later became homeless (still posting videos from his van). An entertaining fact is also that he fell in love with a famous female physics YouTuber Dianna Cowern which he stalked online. In 2018 he was killed by a train but he left behind tons of videos full of endless entertainment, and sometimes even genuine wisdom.

Terry greatly valued [simplicity](minimalism.md) and [fun](fun.md) in programming, he saw that technology went to [shit](shit.md) and wanted to create something in the oldschool style, and he expressed his will to dedicate his creation to the [public domain](public_domain.md). This is of course extremely based and appreciated by [us](lrs.md).
