Med taking schizophrenic goes into a world that is argued to be one of many things.

Schizophrenic vision, as seen by those around him responding atypically, like that of a dream?

Last vision of what his life could have been, if the ending had not happened?

Bending reality, creating a tangent unstable world where the characters share his vision as if it were a dream to them?

It's all perspective, left intentionally unanswered.

 Oh, then yes, yes indeed , Turncoat:  Peake himself would say this is very akin to his work.

 What sense. Does this theory not only apply to Humans? 

Also, I still don't understand time. You say we work to improve ourselves. Say we discover a cure for cancer in one life time. Does that mean we will not cure it over and over, and if so, will it not need to be uncured for us to cure it again? In that sense, no improvement is made. Time doesn't even move foward besides the 100 or so years we exist.

 The cure for cancer is to stop consuming cancer causing agents. Meat and dairy products cause more cancer than smoking. Canned food and products with fructose in it, basically any food that comes with a logo on it is bad for our health. Corperations are proven to go at any length to maintain their might. The modified food is by the bulk, giving the industry something to sell. In essence, cancer is a reflection of greed. Big pharma wouldn't be interested in curing cancer, or any aliment that makes them money, including mental illness. The reason for this is because there is more money in maintaining illness, as opposed to curing it. As for your question, not sure I can answer it, but I'm thinking we'll have improved awareness that comes with better consideration for whatever it is we're doing. In a better world, the people won't tollerate greed cause they'll probably recognize how there are virus like consequences that are no good. The cure for cancer is healthy eating and being active. That way, there would be nothing causing cancer to begin with. This is new media vs. old media. The new media serves the people, while the old media serves those who steer toward deception and cold business.

 Interesting.  I'm not sure how much I believe it, but I haven't read any of it, yet.  However, I am reluctant to engage in discussion over it.  One of my other weaknesses is existential thought.  I read this kind of stuff all the time.  I think about this kind of stuff all the time.  I've often discussed or argued about this kind of stuff.  I'm too tired by now (in the entirety of my life, that is) to try and get into the grist of this again.

It might not be a surprise to learn I suffer from so-called racing thoughts.  Sometimes they are faster than I can attach language to them, to explain them.  I hardly wrote out my work in math class or physics, because it would take time to write out my answer in full, and was enormous waste of time.  I would be moving on mentally before I'd have written all that out.

This stuff inflicts a logic feedback loop.  I have come to the border of where thought meets truth, nearly stepping over only to discovery the border really is a cliff, and a huge divide looms tauntingly across to the other side.  I daily (yes daily) try and ask myself every unanswerable thing I have come across.  Every.  Fucking.  Day.

I see things in terms of particle physics.  I wonder how the atoms work to do what they do with whatever I look at.  I see fractals and illusion all around me.  And yet, driving in traffic still fucking pisses me off.  So I laugh at my own stupidity all the time.  When I come to that cliff, I just start giggling like a lunatic.  Existence is the best joke ever.

I just wanted to share that and I know it sounds like madness.  I am equally sure none of this is going to make any sense, because I don't even make sense to myself.

 You said it, brother,  and very well.  The key to a better world does not lie in curing cancer or feeding the poor,  etc.  :  It lies in creating an inwardly free and sane human psyche,  which knows how to live well .  Then everything snaps into place. We are so used to sickness and corruption,  we assume it's normal.  It's not.  It is actually radically substandard.   As Nietzsche said,  Man is a disease on the earth.  But there could be a mankind which was not so;  he could be the crowning glory of the earth.

 Cancer is evolution. It's natural.

 Cancer is more accurately described as mutation.  Of course, mutation is often said to faciliate evolution, so they are in the same process, but evolution isn't cancer.

 Without cancer, there is no evolution. Not physically at least.

 You know that's not true.  It is a blight,  and chokes evolution.  Just because it occurs, does not mean it's natural or desirable.  It is disease.

 They are the same process,  but we know cancer is devolution,  dissipation,  disintegration.  Otherwise,  someone smoking and getting lung cancer is normal and healthy.
