DOES IT NOW BEGIN TO FEEL AS IF WE ARE LIVING A SHARED PSYCHOSIS?
A political leader introduces psychotic ideas into the public domain. Insofar as members of the society come to share the leader's delusions, they begin to be rendered normative; to be experienced as "reality."
People become immersed within a psychotic delusion. Everyone feels or senses this; but we hesitate to say it.
It seems now, however, that we are beginning to feel this psychotic dimension of reality more deeply. Can we recognize and say this?
Can we say that "reality" and "psychosis" are not separate categories?
