natal chart (Placidus)

natal chart with Whole Sign houses
American mathematician and Nobel Prize winner 1994. In his
acceptance speech, Nash said, "Statistically, it would seem improbable
that any mathematician or scientist, at the age of 66, would be able through
continued research efforts, to add much to his or her previous achievements.
However I am still making the effort and it is conceivable that with the gap period
of about 25 years of partially deluded thinking providing a sort of vacation my
situation may be atypical. Thus I have hopes of being able to achieve something of
value through my current studies or with any new ideas that come in the future."
Nash himself associated his madness with living on an "ultralogical" plane,
"breathing air too rare" for most mortals, and if being "cured" meant he could no
longer do any original work at that level, then, Nash argued, a remission might not
be worthwhile in the end.

Johnny Nash, as he was called by his family, was a solitary and introverted little John Nash
boy though his parents were loving and attentive. He was named for his dad, who photo: Elke Wetzig (Elya), license

was an electrical engineer and schoolteacher, a veteran of WW I. When Johnny gfdl

was two years old, his sister Martha was born (11/16/1930). The household had
books available, including an encyclopedia in which the boy was more interested
than in playing with other kids. His mom encouraged his studies but his teachers labeled him as "backwards" due to
his lack of social skills. By the time he was about 12, he was showing more interest in his science experiments at home
than in his boring school work. His math interest began at about 14 and by high school, he noted that he "succeeding in
proving the classic Fermat theorem about an integer multiplied by itself p times where p is a prime." He was also doing
electrical and chemistry experiments.

He entered Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh with a major of chemical engineering, shifting to chemistry and then to math.

Nash received a BA and an MA in mathematics in 1948. His graduate studies, beginning in September 1948, were in
Princeton, where he became interested in game theory studies, which had been stimulated by the work of von
Neumann and Morgenstern. In 1949, while studying for his doctorate, he wrote a paper which 45 years later was to win
a Nobel Prize for economics. In 1950 Nash received his doctorate from Princeton with a thesis entitled Non-
cooperative Games. He was on the math faculty at M.I.T. from 1951 until he resigned in the spring of 1959, interspaced
with assignments in the private sector.

During his time at MIT Nash began to have personal problems with his life, added to his customary social indifference.
He met Eleanor Stier and they had a son, John David Stier, born on 6/19/1953. Eleanor wanted to get married but
Nash refused to consider it. In the summer of 1954, while working for RAND, he was arrested in a police operation to
trap homosexuals. He was dismissed from RAND.

One of Nash's students at MIT, Alicia Larde, became friendly with him and by the summer of 1955 they were seeing
each other regularly. In 1956 Nash's parents found out that he had an affair with Eleanor and a son. Nash's father died
soon after and Nash may have blamed himself for contributing a shock to his family.

In February of 1957 Nash married Alicia; by the autumn of 1958 she was pregnant but, a couple of months later, near
the end of 1958 or early 1959, Nash's mental state became very disturbed. At the threshold of his career, he was struck
by paranoid schizophrenia. He lost his job at M.I.T. in 1959 (after being tenured there at the age of 29!) and spent 50
days under observation at the McLean Hospital.

Norbert Wiener was one of the first to recognize that Nash's extreme eccentricities and personality problems were
actually symptoms of a medical disorder. Long sad years followed with periods of hospital treatment, temporary
recovery, then further treatment. He was virtually incapacitated by the disease for the next two decades or so. Alicia
eventually divorced Nash, although she continued to be supportive, and after a period of extreme mental torture he
appeared to become lost to the world, removed from ordinary society, although he spent much of his time in the
Mathematics Department at Princeton. He roamed about Europe and America, finally, returning to Princeton where he
became a sad, ghostly character on the campus - "the Phantom of Fine Hall" as Rebecca Goldstein described him in her
novel, Mind-Body Problem.

During interludes of enforced rationality, he worked productively. In the late ‘60s, he returned to the dream-like
delusional thinking but of relatively moderate behavior and thus tended to avoid hospitalization and the direct
attention of psychiatrists. He gradually began to intellectually reject irrational thought as essentially a hopeless waste
of intellectual effort. He finally renounced (!!) his delusional hypotheses and gradually returned to mathematical
research in the early 1970s. He wrote, "However this is not entirely a matter of joy as if someone returned from
physical disability to good physical health. One aspect of this is that rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's
concept of his relation to the cosmos. For example, a non-Zoroastrian could think of Zarathustra as simply a madman
who led millions of naive followers to adopt a cult of ritual fire worship. But without his "madness" Zarathustra would
necessarily have been only another of the millions or billions of human individuals who have lived and then been
forgotten.

John Nash's story was dramatized in the movie "A Beautiful Mind," directed by Ron Howard and starring Russell
Crowe (born 04/07/1964), nominated for the best film of 2001. Neither the film nor his biographical website mention
his periods of homosexual relationships, notably in his 20's. The biography by Sylvia Nasar is less romanticized,
portraying him as an anti-Semite, a lousy father and a violent man. Nasar refers to his mind as beautiful, not the man.

Nash continues to hear his voices on occasion but for the most part is able to ignore them. He is doing research again

and savoring such simple pleasures as being able to afford his own support and providing for his family. He and Alicia,
who remained loyal for so many years, remarried in June 2001. His younger son carries his dad's gift and affliction, a
mathematically gifted schizophrenic.

On 23 May 2015, Nash and his wife Alicia de Lardé Nash were killed in an automobile accident on the New Jersey
Turnpike near Monroe Township. The driver of the taxi they were riding in lost control as he tried to overtake another
vehicle and struck a guard rail; the couple were thrown out of the car.
