A while ago I speculated that Phil has OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disorder) which isn't someone having to wash their hands 8 times but rather a person who becomes totally obsessed with systems as a way to satiate their anxiety. I believe this clip paints a clear picture that Phil has OCPD or something very similar and is basically unable to not fixate on "support" or continuously "loop" about the same subjects.
I think the clips shows that I was correct. I think his alleged autism makes him extremely anxious all of the time and his way of dealing with this is extensive schedules and mental gymnastics and is the best explanation of the Phil we see today.
While it is true that he is dependent on "support" to survive (and also to waste money on stupid shit), I fully believe that the reason he is the way he is is that he is mentally/clinically totally obsessed with his little streaming game (subs, tips etc).
I made a penultimate style post in the DSP psychology thread with a bit of analysis of the clip and a self-affirmation that I was correct about Phil having either OCPD or something similar:
I think a key thing though is that a person just has to feel productive but they aren't actually necessarily productive. The way I read it (at least from my own perspective) is that the idea isn't necessarily just being a workaholic but that a person truly engulfs themselves in "a/the system" and obsessively works within it to escape anxiety and other things, which for me definitely matches with what we see with DSP. There's been multiple times where he could've explored stepping away years ago but he obviously has some anxiety about leaving "the system" he has.
