Schizoid Polypath

Imagine paranoid schizophrenia evolving as Right-hemispheric totalitarian bipolarity living in a rabid stress-filled ecosystem of dismaying relationships with human nature over-populating systems; family and those other terrorist aliens. Now imagine paranoid behavior's function finds an entirely natural schizopathic response to an abusive marginalizing institutionalizing cultural reaction against madness wildness discontinuous domestication of ego-identity one primal-self. We used to call less paranoid, more manic, bipolarity shamans and prophets, witches and androgenous medicine men, wizards and saintly dry sages, wise old crones, messiahs and wise womb/men, mystics and hermaphroditic hermits pot heads and opium addicts. Now we call such mediums schizophrenic and really nothing more empathic, other than paranoid, of course. We fail to remember that paranoia is empathic worthy of rational ecopolitical trust if "they" really have decided you are merely insane, without any cultural value or merit. For then our promise remains clouded in unknowing. For hyper-curious bipolarity, a constantly stressing threat of perpetual solitary confinement, speaking in silent echoing silos of non-communication, ominously silent noise, followed by voices screaming prophecies of doom reciting slender mythic-history memories of lost enculturing potential.
