I've been interested in this topic for a very long time, and I wonder not only why the two seem to go hand-in-hand, but is there some causality? Is it that being different and therefore often ostracized for these differences makes one fall into depression? That doesn't seem to explain it - what about visionaries like Yayoi Kusama who were "insane" before their creative inclinations forced them to express what they imagined? Then, does that mean that most of these individuals are in some way "mad" to begin with, and therefore are able to come up with other ways of looking at things than those of us who think "normally"? Not only is it tragic that our most brilliant thinkers fall into these states, but it makes the very thought of pursuing intelligence and going into any... well, I don't want to say career, in this case it's more like a life-long obsession, a love... but in any case, it's almost scary to even wander into "that field" knowing how one feels while there; knowing the ef

POPSSeeing What You Know Peter Haslam's view on these accounts is that we should be more tolerant to other viewpoints before dismissing it. A good point, but I have something slightly different to say. I find it really striking that the people could not see what they did not know. Most of us struggle with something similar, in my opinion. We only see what we know. I'm not talking about the concrete here, but in terms of visions/dreams or ideas and opportunities. Could it be that we tend to fail to see the things we don't know? And that that is what limits us from trying something new? Maybe. How do you overcome that? Expose yourself to ideas.
