That's pretty funny -- conditions people get triggered with triggering someone else's condition (which is seeing someone triggered).
I've seen the other video (which I see you linked a few posts down from that one) where this guy is in, so this is interesting that there is more to him.
For some reason I get drawn into trying to decipher how it is they come to their cognitive associations and weaving of a whole different world.

Apparently, she dropped her pants in the street out in front of the building bc she thought one of my other neighbours stole her leg.
Did you see the movie "Repo" (with Jude Law, but I think was a play before a movie)? This lady's trying to get a leg up in the next big market. Inventory.
I think this line of research is closest to the answer:
Further research seems to support the theory. One of the authors runs a blog that keeps up on the research.
Well, premises have similarities but execute the scenario a little differently.
Elysium proposes only the elite will have the best tech and standard of living, like the ultimate gated community. Their technology did put that guy's face back together, which is one of my favorite parts.
Repo is about a medical insurance or supply company that synthesizes or clones organs, etc. However, their product is (of course) expensive and they extort you by the payment plan that might seem unreasonable (probably because they literally own the market). If you default on payments, they get to come and repossess the organs or whatever. Which, of course, ultimately leads to death. The obvious irony here is that the organs that saved their life originally ended up costing them their lives or, at least, to bring another pun into it, an arm and a leg.

Loose associations? It's basically thinner walls between information with the risk of a detachment from reality that furthers it's severity. Normally there's a strong separation between what things do and don't go together, but as those walls weaken you can begin to see connections between all sorts of nonsense. The worse the episode, the thinner the walls, leading to crazier ideas that, despite former skepticism that may have been in place, suddenly flows like it makes complete sense. I'm prone to these if I'm not careful, but I've been able to somewhat filter it into something coherent through the appearance of things like snarky pop culture references or other referential jokes, while someone like Mr. O... was a bit less fortunate. It can get wackier too when there's two loosely associating people trying to have a conversation.
One of my favorite examples, from the author of "The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness": "I think someone's infiltrated my copies of the cases. We've got to case the joint. I don't believe in joints, but they do hold your body together." - Elyn Saks. It displays how tripped up someone loosely associating can become when words or ideas have more than one meaning, a problem for myself that's lead to a lot of clarity edits and questions of what someone's meaning. It gets even worse once you start throwing in homemade neologisms.
The reason it fascinates me so is that I'm left wondering if I do this. The conviction of what they think is intact, for the most part. It's like those people that can beat a polygraph simply by believing their own lies. (Not a perfect example, I know.) I have shared a couple things about this here, I think. However, these are the only times that I can really feel the dissonance moving away from psychosis brings with hindsight.
My use of metaphor can seem to lose people I speak with, if I'm not careful. Racing thoughts contribute to this, of course... And here's a metaphor I just thought of regarding this: "normal" or "rational" associations are like classic physics, while loose associations are like quantum physics. Often the seemingly disjointed or loose associations are actually rapid, accumulated "mini-connections" that just manifest faster than proper linguistic communication can keep up with.
