If you think you can try to save face by gas lighting me now, I'm afraid I won't fall for it, my little dove.
Resulting to ad hominem attacks now, are we? Two can play at that game. Why don't you just shut your ugly scabby cunt mouth, spread the lips of your nasty loose pussy and fly away? You've yet to pose any points resembling something remotely intelligent to back up your opinion, and I doubt you'll be doing so anytime soon.
The bummed portion on top of that is outside of their control, while Mania kinda has to be seen as interesting (during it at least).
In that fashion it's not really a choice. They're made to think in a certain way that's fairly independent of outside factors. If it's not interesting after the fact it's probably frightening, but I doubt they have much choice in how they perceive it after the fact.
Of course, this is picking at a more blatant example, as for everyone "choice" itself seems illusory to me, a naive belief of the ego. To me, no one really has any choices. The fact that they are bored enough to try to appear insane mixed with the lives that lead to that conclusion don't really have them decide to do that any more than any other decision being made. In that sense, a bipolar person simply has less of a shroud from the controlling factor seeming more blatantly independent, separated.
Edit: The third part seems a bit... tangent-y on my part. The main point is that "appealing" is there for reasons that may be independent of one's choices, be that because the brain tells them that the insanity is ideal once they're in it or from having other factors that may influence their efforts (Munchhausens or Delusions for example).
Yep. It is believed the experience of agency conferred some advantage which made it a favorable adaptation for natural selection. I think it's because sentience influences cognition in such a way that it makes self-preservation a personal affair.
That is interesting. Is this in particular to ego? Identification with the ego, placing ego as the center of self, sent things awry?
