I'd lived myself with psychotic breaks all my life (I'm ADHD, autistic and bipolar, these three things cause strong problems with emotional regulation), I know what I'm talking about because I have to live with 6 fucking chronical meds because of that.

I can tell you that one can't do a plan that complex in that state. And when one's calm, obviously that's something that won't be even thought if you're a good person.

One can still act and do terrible things, yeah, but it's more sort of instinctive and primal, reactive I'd say.

    I certainly don't want to minimize your own experiences and learning from them. But, it's a huge stretch to then claim that what you've learned necessarily and reliably generalizes to all other experiences. It doesn't follow.

    We know that sometimes people can lose touch with reality and yet still make plans and carry them out. Stated that way it seems too abundantly true (to me) to bicker much about. Sounds like we just aren't going to see it the same way probably.
