@superjam18 Is that all you fucking took away from this video?

[superjam18]

@firef1yyy well why not? I can't understand his explanation of his artwork so I just see him instead. why would you not take away the same thing from this video?

Being an artist with schizophrenia (I have videos on my profile which explore my ideas and art), I can appreciate this man's perspective "ancient folklore...be real..." Schizophrenia is as much a "brain disease" as consciousness is in itself. Different bodies/brains store different social and genetic/cellular histories, and diversity only improves things. Our cultural homogenization and lack of a very general community togetherness/welfare is what makes so many "abnormals" ALSO "unhealthy"

schizophrenia is so sad but sufferers can have truly insightful views on the world

[MaxiBoOoY]

usernamecacuum maybe, what for?

[guitardrew05]

schizophrenics can weave some beautiful tapestries with language for sure but its a sad disease anyway

[Wiseonwhiskey]

Don't consider schizophrenia to be a sad disease, those that have it from birth don't know the difference, they live in their own world and have their own ways to deal with it.

A lot of the problem with schizophrenia is self-esteem so if you ever talk to somebody like that don't hold your sympathetic side,

listen to what they have to say if you have the time, although it can be quite draining,

if you have an open mind you could discover alternative thoughts about a lot of things.

Just my opinion

[RCM037224]

The "mentally ill" are MAGNETIZED to me. They can literally find me in a crowd. Looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way. They've given me friendship and alternative views on things. You can't learn anything new from people that all think the same. You can't have friends in people that don't need you.
