So is mental illness just the result of evolution trying to produce geniuses and ultra creative people by playing the genetic equivalent of a wild card? Einstein's son was schizophrenic, Joyce's daughter was schizo, etc. In the pursuit of making the greatest human possible, evolution just throws the dice & produces lots of abominations with the rare chance of greatness

yet another thread by an egotistical mentally ill narcissist with delusions of grandiosity who irrationally presumes that they're a super special snowflake genius because the doctor says their brain is damaged and doesn't work right.

Just like there's a male / female ratio there's a ratio of conformists / non-conformists because a perfectly stable society is dead / non-adaptive and a completely unstable society is no society at all. Therefore, optimal survival of the species entail mostly conformists being born and only some non-conformists. Another reaason why the non-conformist group is small is to minimize losses from the high risk / high reward strategy = mental illness / innovation.

This is a perfectly reasonable hypothesis without teleogy so orthodox thinkers in this thread can go and fuck themselves.

You're too low IQ to even be thinking about these things, maybe stick to fake sciences like psychology.

An autist is just someone who was molested by his kindergarten teacher, who covered it up by using his resulting aversion to being touched to suggest he has the 'tism, thus condemning him to a life of learned helplessness and abusive psychiatry.

No, it's just a straight up failure nightmare. I have schizophrenia, and the only good thing about it is that it can be interesting in retrospect. But normies can just take drugs, so it's nothing special. I lack all the traits necessary to thrive in society and get tortured by my illness and its treatment.

The brain has a powerful built-in system that prevents overthinking.
This system is the source of what we see as common sense.
Great minds are usually the ones that have managed to break this anti-overthinking system, either through trauma, self-mortification, meditation or something similar.
