The Mental Patient: Our next step in evolution?

"...and then we have other people who are here in this corner, very few of them who are very highly developed because we say the evolution is now pushing mankind in this direction away from the gorilla types towards the very highly evolved people...

The habitat of this group here, (ed: the highly developed types) where do you think you find these people living? ...I suggest that you find them in mental hospitals. In nut houses. The reason for that is that these people, they live in a different reality. In a reality which is very changed and few of them are adapted to live in this reality so naturally they can't function very well. So the only safe place, only good place for them would be the mental hospital, unless they can integrate their different view of reality with their daily lives. If they can integrate it then we have people like Newton, like Darwin....these are our so-called geniuses...

if anything, tis not the NEXT step in evolution but a concurrent evolution.

I guess it's the next step for the average bulk of humanity at this point.

What do you mean by a concurrent one?

Absolutely. Without the blanket of comfort afforded to me by my own stupidity, I would go insane.

william s. burroughs said something to the effect of the crazy ppl are the only sane ones, they are driven that way b/c they can't cope w/ or relate to all these fucked up things in the world that society accepts....
