I would guess that is how we wound up with
religion. Its kind of odd that most great
religious leaders, founders, and followers
could easily fit the schizophrenic mold in
modern society. Actually, the really "gifted"
scientific and religious gurus seem to be
on that borderline threshold to the point
of falling over the edge. Staying up working
on a scientific theory for 4 days staight with
hardly no sleep or food; fasting and self-denial
in the name of a religious experience. These are
hardly "normal" behaviors. They are examples of
"focused" mania. Its the "uncontrolled" mania
that places the label of "psychosis" on an
indiviual. Perhaps it is just genius that has
no direction.
