> psychopathology, including depression, delusions, and religious mysticism of the sort engendered by psychosis.<p>> characterized by false beliefs in the sentience of inanimate objects and delusions about the self and others. Reading minds is the lingua franca of mentalistic cognition, and symptoms of psychosis are essentially mind-reading on steroids<p>What you will not admit to yourself is that your conceptions of "sanity" and "normality" are pleasant lies. Intellectuals (those living from a world within, rather than one mirroring the "out") naturally recoil.<p>It's not all bad, not yet, until some precipus of conception takes them through doorways of the mind through which they cannot coherently navigate (now a troglodyte in the cavern of shadows).<p>It is inevitable that these will stumble upon the "greatest secret of our humanity." That we are not alone in our own minds and our conservative thinking otherwise keeps us on rails.<p>Atrocious behavior only comes by the desperation. All Mankind has it wrong. All Humanity will deny you this Truth. Talk about frustrated flip out time.<p>PKD and others have the cover of art to conventionalize and glorify their insanity. Obviously, no one really knows what's going on. The craze must come by the decades of slow cook.
