Quote of the Day
I’ve been on Nothing But Suicide Missions for God ever since I agreed to be the world’s smartest man with mental and moral Superiority Powers. He just said I’d have to do whatever He told me To Go and Do once I got there to end up Here. When He wasn’t doing that, he made me Witness my Grandfather’s Suicide Blood in his tub when I was 4. Or Held my Dying best friend’s head in my arms for 20 minutes. Or killed 3 people in the car crash? Or stand alone among the death and wreckage of Flight 255? And be Totally UNAFFECTED by Any of That. Oh, 3 separate Police departments investigated my fatal wreck. And they DEFINITELY gave me Blood Alcohol and Drug Tests. And found ZERO in both. That was maybe God’s Greatest Favor He ever did. He made Me Experience the Horror but Legally, knowing I did Nothing Illegal or Wrong. I swear to God, any other night I Would have Been. And I’d still be in Jackson State Prison serving out 3 life sentences. But here I sit. Guilt Free Guilty Conscience Free and Writing For God for Free too. I keep adding it all up hoping to get a rational explanation. I can’t. Can you.

I’ve been seeing an increase in crazy talk recently. I would suspect end stage TDS, but I have been seeing it in Trump supporters too. Perhaps it really is The Crazy Years Heinlein predicted.
I want my underground bunker in Idaho to be finished.
Instapundit gets crazier all the time. Look at the postings and comments about war with Russia if you really won’t to see crazy.
Yeah… the multi-capitalization all over the place does put this in the nutter category.
Not that those aren’t dangerous. During all the wild speculation about Charlie Kirk’s assassin, someone made that point that there are three categories to assassins: professionals, zealots, and nutters.
The pros have a plan to get in and get out, and they rarely get caught, but they’re also rare to act outside of organized crime because that brings too much heat.
The nutters are like the guy that tried to assassinate Reagan so he could get the attention of some actress.
The zealots are the guy that killed CK and the dork that shot up the ICE vehicle and killed one (or two?) illegal aliens before offing himself. Could also be the guys that are so deep in the ‘race war’ story or jihad that they drive an SUV into a Christmas shopping crowd. Marinade a zealot long enough, and they’re not that distinguishable from a nutter.
Then you have the nutter-zealots like the guy that killed those Democrat politicians in MN on the plan that somehow that would cause Tim Walz to get the Senate seat and everyone else is wondering “How did you think that was going to work? Flunked high school civics?” There’s not a lot you can do about profoundly stupid or uncorrectably ignorant people once they get ahold of some half-baked notion, and sometimes that half-baked notion is also calved off from a iceberg of zealotry.
EDIT: Oh, now I see why I don’t remember that comment. I blocked that guy a long time ago for the crazy.
I’ve long felt that it is the Crazy Years. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a way off of this overcrowded dirt ball.
This is “word salad,” typical of someone with schizophrenia.
No, it isn’t.
This person had to go through a couple of truly horrific experiences, one of which involved witnessing the aftermath of a suicide at the age of four. Possibly two of them — the Flight 255 reference is true, there was a single survivor, a 4 year old girl, after a crash out of the Detroit airport. That happened in 1987 so that girl would be about 42 today. Plausible. Possibly three of them, if her best friend who died was also on that plane. Yeah, that’ll leave a mark.
There was also a car wreck at some point when she was much older, that killed 3 people. She was involved, and probably caused it. Exactly what happened is not clear, but you don’t usually get a life sentence for an accident, usually you get 1-3 decades of straight time for criminally negligent manslaughter for that. She was not under the influence (maybe not in her right mind either, but that too is unclear). Either she was acquitted, convicted of a much lesser charge, or found not guilty by reason of insanity and they let her out of the psych ward, or possibly she was still a juvenile at the time and they went easy on her. Whatever it was, that isn’t the sort of thing that makes it better.
Even if the person is lying, only a person suffering excruciating inner pain would write something like that.
I’m not claiming sanity, but unless proven otherwise I’d say it’s coherent enough and it checks out.
It is also possible that Flight 255 was not the actual incident, but is a more famous (they made a movie about it) incident that is analogous to whatever actually happened.
In which case calling it a lie could be technically correct, but wouldn’t be very truthful.
If it’s made up, why is it made up? Seems to be a play for attention — why does this person need/want attention and sympathy? What is missing or wrong in their life? This one would more of a lie, but still there are probably some morsels of truth hiding just under the surface. Be patient, keep them talking, and listen — really listen — and you might be able to piece together some more.
No this isn’t a hard science, no it isn’t rigorous, but dismissing it entirely is just lazy.
I guess this why I replied as I did:
“I’ve been on Nothing But Suicide Missions for God ever since I agreed to be the world’s smartest man with mental and moral Superiority Powers. He just said I’d have to do whatever He told me To Go and Do once I got there to end up Here.”
Experiencing trauma and responding to it in this way doesn’t mean you aren’t crazy. It may explain it, however. As someone who has seen a lot of schizophrenia, it looks like it to me.
YMMV. BTW, I appreciate your measured response. There’s not a lot of it online these days. Thanks.
Maybe it’s not crazy people. Maybe someone is letting an AI bot free roam the internet. It would be in line with the crazy hallucinations that the AI engines seem to provide.
I’ll take “The Crazy Years” for $300, Alex.
Closing all the loony bins 50-60 years ago was a REALLY BAD idea….
I agree with closing the loony bins.
Remember when we treated mental illness as a stigma and locked up those with psychotic tendencies?
Now, having serious breaks with reality(like thinking you were born the wrong sex) is encouraged, allowed to go forward and then celebrated with never a thought to treat the mental illness.
What could go wrong?
