Chapter 109: Brother, the medicine can't be stopped!
"You need money now? Gold coins or francs? ”
Van Gogh shook his head and said in a low voice: "Money is only one aspect, my biggest problem is that I don't want to affect my younger brother, and his conditions are not good, but I gave up a lot of opportunities to take care of me, so I desperately painted so that I could do something for him one day." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"I see!"
Xu Zhiyuan looked at the depressed Van Gogh, and later generations of psychiatrists studied his case and proved that he suffered from a very complex mental illness.
People are always curious about those crazy artists. Although few people admit it, there is no doubt that Van Gogh's madness made his own talent shine even brighter, which seemed to show people that the "demon" within them could create something beautiful.
Recently, a team of scientists in Iceland has begun working on this topic. They tried to argue whether schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were linked to creativity – that is, whether there were socially beneficial cognitive traits in geniuses who suffered from mental illness.
Their research confirms this idea. According to an article published in the June 8 issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, creative people are more likely to carry genes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder than ordinary people who work routinely.
To confirm this conclusion, scientists must first establish a "polygenic risk scoring system" for the genes of these diseases. They then tested how well the scoring system could predict these genes. The average risk of developing schizophrenia and the risk of developing bipolar disorder increased by more than one-third in the genetic variants they selected.
Next, the researchers applied the polygenic risk score system to more than 80,000 Icelanders who were considered "creative". Their subjects work in a variety of fields, such as dance, film, theater, visual arts, writing, and even those that don't require creativity.
Creativity can be observed from many angles, and while it is difficult to define it in scientific work, it is often perceived as someone whose ideas differ from popular mindset and general experience, and who are able to take new approaches. Therefore, being different from the rest of the world is a prerequisite for creativity. ”
Based on this, their research reveals the relationship between the two. People in creative occupations are 25% more likely to carry the schizophrenia and bipolar disorder genes than those who do regular jobs. But when researchers limited creative occupations to members of national arts groups, the odds increased by 17 percent. The findings are based on a study of 35,000 people from Iceland and Sweden, using their own methods and large foreign medical databases in the process.
So in the end, it turns out that creativity is a quality that gave birth to Mozart, Bach, and Van Gogh. This is a quality that is important to our society. But the risk that this poses to the individual, 1% of people have already paid for it.
"Well, what you need most now is to cure your mental illness as soon as possible, otherwise no amount of money will help!"
Xu Zhiyuan said: "I have some special drugs here, which are far more effective than you were at that time, you try them first, even if you are paid for painting?" ”
"Really?" Van Gogh's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said incredulously: "Can you really cure my disease?" It tormented me for years, life is better than death! ”
"At least it will make it easier for you, you can go back and continue to paint and wait for my news."
Xu Zhiyuan sent Van Gogh away, withdrew from the system, and asked Hei Feng to contact the best psychiatrist to see what special drugs Van Gogh could treat a patient like Van Gogh now.
"I also have to help him prepare a studio, the environment has a greater impact on the mentally ill, it is estimated that Van Gogh will not live for a few years, I must collect his works as soon as possible."
Xu Zhiyuan immediately went out to find the most exclusive private gallery in Beijing, and then bought a large number of the best oil painting tools, and put them into the system to prepare for Van Gogh's paintings.
Now there are often guests in the system, such as Master Bodhidharma, who basically lives permanently, which is convenient for helping Xu Zhiyuan to cultivate. Originally, it was to find the evil qi in various places to purify and accumulate merits, but now it is guarding the glow, saving the time of running around.
There are also two emperors, Qianlong and Xianfeng, Qianlong is okay, he comes and goes around from time to time and enjoys the so-called immortal methods. Xianfeng asked to enter the system every day, and as soon as he came, he plunged into the cigar bar, red wine and cigars all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, and did not ask about the world.
In reality, the Eight-Nation Alliance has already ridden on his head to and pee, and he, the emperor, is more than a eunuch! The eunuch can still roll up some money and run to the people, but it's a big deal to be incognito and happy. But he is the true son of the dragon, even if he dies, he will die on the dragon chair, and the future generations will have to bear the infamy of the ages, who can be happy?
Xu Zhiyuan has no choice, the building will collapse, and he can't save it alone. But since you come to consume, no matter what your identity is, you have to pay the price if you want to be cool. Every time Xianfeng came to the cigar bar, he had to exchange it for palace treasures, and Xu Zhiyuan had seven or eight more heavy weapons in his hand after a few times.
That guy with Shen, since the last bungee jumping scared pee, he couldn't come to the invitation several times! There is no way, but Xu Zhiyuan is patient, there will always be a day when he takes the initiative to ask for himself, and then the new and old accounts will be settled together!
"This is a special medicine, you can take it once a day, at least it can be much easier."
Xu Zhiyuan called Van Gogh into the system and asked him to take the latest drugs for schizophrenia and depression, expensive drugs imported from the United States, and the effect was very good.
"And this is the studio I specially prepared for you, the environment is better, you can come here to paint when you have time, and leave the oppressive environment of the mental hospital, and people will be more relaxed."
Van Gogh looked at Xu Zhiyuan gratefully, with tears in his eyes, you must know that in addition to his own brother, only Dr. Lei and Xu Zhiyuan are the best for him in his life! He is not the world's top art master now, just a madman in the eyes of others, poor, with nothing, and dragging down his younger brother, and there are still people willing to help him?
Xu Zhiyuan smiled and patted his future cash cow, and comforted: "Don't worry, take care of your illness, painting more is the biggest reward for me, work hard!" ”
"By the way, remember to draw more sunflowers and irises, I put a lot of them in the studio, and the rest are free to play!"
