Not if one’s “mental illness” is based on misdiagnosis and hyper-parental control, as I’ve already explained.
Please state specifically where I admitted to having mental illness (keeping in mind that AS is not an illness!) You are bordering on outright slander here.
And, hallucinations can be caused by many things. They do not indicate the presence of mental illness.
You know what? Feel free to sue me, because the best defense against accusations of slander and libel is the truth, and I’m pretty sure I’d win going away.
But you did, inadvertently, answer my questions. So thanks!
Are you retarded? It’s a serious question, because just a few posts ago, you wrote:
Which means that at one time you were, or believed yourself to be, mentally ill. Ergo, an admission of same. QED.
You think there aren’t jerks in the field of fiction? Seriously, I’d tend to say there are far more jerks in fiction than in science.
I’m interested into getting into this aura reading business; I think it’d certainly earn me the approval of the board, from the looks of things. Let’s see… I think your decision was pretty much made before you asked Der Trihs. It seems like the righteous feelings you’re getting from his answer are being used to fuel a choice you’ve already made. At a guess, i’d say the true reasoning seems to stem from a worry about making things certain.
No it won’t, assuming it even exists. Crackpots are a dime a dozen.
Somehow, science will survive it’s lack. It has more than enough REAL things to concern itself with.
And I don’t answer because I don’t care, it doesn’t matter, and I don’t believe that your “thesis” actually exists, or would impress anyone if it did.
What are you talking about? Are you claiming that mental illness cannot be cured?? Because that’s a blatantly ridiculous assertion to make, and FTR applies directly to my thesis (which has now been filed under “story ideas”, so I can’t divulge any details now, sorry!) Besides, it’s a moot point – my so-called “illness” was misdiagnosed from the beginning. Even my (former, evil) shrink agrees.
There are jerks everywhere. The jerks in creative writing are far less annoying, though. I’d rather deal with a creative jerk than a science jerk any day.
You’re probably right – Galileo recanted, after all. The world didn’t end then, either.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Until this thread, I hadn’t realized what a loony-tunes KGS is. Wow. And boy, did Der Trihs ever mop up the floor with you in that GD thread. I went in expecting the usual “God exists / no, he doesn’t / yes he does, fuck you!” exchange that gets people so riled up about DT, but that was just sad. He should be Pitting you for being such a dumbass.
Are you seriously comparing yourself to Galileo?!
Of course, Galileo was right. Unlike you.
And I think that you haven’t a clue as to what it means.
Hey! Quit posting what I am thinking. Damned internet mind readers…
No, stupid. Are you claiming that “I am no longer mentally ill” is not to be taken as an admission of past mental illness?
You just weren’t paying attention. Check my other threads, this one’s nothing. 
Not from my perspective. All I did was suggest a definition of “soul” by applying M-Theory. I still don’t understand why Der Trihs took offense to my suggestion and started baiting me with straw man arguments. If you read the “spirit” thread again with clarity, you’ll agree with me.
What does it mean, then? Please, enlighten me. It will help prove to me that you’re not such a jerk, after all.
Well, if you’re gonna play semantics…let me ask you something:
Why would a past diagnosis of mental illness discount me as a crackpot? Are you prejudiced, or merely judgmental? (Keep in mind, I no longer hold that diagnosis – my former, evil shrink even admitted to me, “I never believed you were schizophrenic.” Just accept on faith that I’m telling the truth about that, k?)
Well, you’re not helping your “I’m not a crackerjack” case with this paragraph. Not only do I not agree with you, you’re the kind of crackpot that bugs the shit out of me – you take some concept from physics (almost always quantum mechanics or string theory), misunderstand it completely, then twist it around to explain whatever retardo idea you already believed in. Just stop it. Be cuckoo-bananas all you want, just stop using physics as your mental jizz rag.
Do you work for these nutters?
Your ‘evidence’ could also prove you are still mentally ill.
See a doctor.
And demonstrating that you didn’t understand it in the process.
Somehow I doubt it, as I wasn’t using straw men.
Real means what is objective; that which has independent physical existence. Not dreams, not fiction, not something you want to believe real hard.
I never said it would. Ok, follow me here. snap snap Look at me. Ok. Do I have your attention? Now, listen: jsgoddess said, “I’m perplexed why someone who started a thread about how you’re having hallucinations, etc. continues to bring up your visions and wants everyone just to ignore the fact that you’ve stated yourself to have a mental illness.” To which you responded, “As far as I’m concerned, I am no longer mentally ill. I have cured myself.” Yadda, yadda, yadda…and you ask for a cite where you stated you admitted to having had a mental illness. I simply addressed that. Get it now?
So, as a person who is no longer mentally ill, are you still on disability for being mentally ill? Or have you gone off the dole and gotten a job? I wouldn’t think that a person of such rigorous integrity as yourself would continue to sop up benefits for a mental illness that you no longer have. Please confirm.
Dude, you just had a big old thread that started after you went on a ten day non-sleeping jag that resulted in hospitalization and a 72 hour “mental hold” and you’re maintaining you don’t have a mental illness? Not too surprising, really, my incredibly bipolar ex-husband used to insist the same thing, regardless of how many times he ended up in the psych ward doing the Thorazine shuffle while hallucinating after a manic phase. If it helps your ideation any, he has Asperger’s TOO, in addition to the bipolar disorder–there’s nothing stopping you from having more than one disorder at a time, you know.
Believe it or not, you actually ARE as crazy as the proverbial loon–I just hope you accept this as fact before you do yourself an irrevocable injury.
