Can one be logically insane?

Question

I mean like visualising swirling, moving mathematical bodies, shifting geometric matrices of music notes and seeing numbers come alive in everything and visualising on a quantum level every possible thing?

Jellybean, you are correct about Pythagorean theorum, the Pythagorean circle of music opens up 3 dimensionally, and when this happened i became "logically insane" i swear it is the answer to the universe and all truth! I cant begin to explain all that has been revealed to me by undersatnding Pythagorean circles and theorums, they are agateway to the universe. Pythagorus was an embodiement of God, please study more Pythagoreanism! you are not insane!

Jellybean, please feel free to email me at anytime, I know what you are seeing and talking about. but If you dont want to email thats cool too

Answer 1

People like this who create art, math, music and science are savants and while they may be emotionally unstable they are not insane.
Mozart, was a savant and Einstein and Newton are both thought to have been autistic savants. A Beutioful Mind was about a mathmatical savant.

Answer 2

Back in Calculus, I once saw pythagoreans theorem in the floor tiles. It blew my mind. Actualy, that was right after I got done rocking back and forth in a bathroom staul sobbing and laughing hystericly at once as part of a nervous brakedown. Seeing pythagoreans theorem proved in the floor tiles was actualy rather therapuetic. And by seeing, I don't mean a haluscination or anything. I mean, certain lines in the tiles just stuck out and a few lines that weren't there too.

There was another time I was looking at a lid to a soda (the fountain sodas with the bubbles labled coke, diet coke, etc...) and in that, I saw an awesome application of bianary numbers to statistics.

Keep in mind this is all coming from someone who got an A on a music appreciataion final by inventing a numerical code that incrypted all the answers into a 2 digit number for each composer, invented integration before actualy knowing it was a concept, and had finished the calculus series and enhanced differential equations by the age of 17.

I see weird connections like that all the time and yes, I'm very insecure. I invented my own language to write my diary in out of paranoia. It's ok though. Math is like ecstacy. I embrace my insanity.

Answer 3

I can affirm that famous philosophers have been nuts. In old age, Kant thought his gardener was molesting him. I think it has something to do with the egotism of conceiving of nothing other than the self.

In a sense, the only logic that is not insane is either God, or the practically minded. But how can one be entirely practical without predicting the future, for example? There are bound to be blunders. If blunders typify insanity, getting lost in one's head certainly brings up the possibility.

Perversely, one may be less insane when one is not aware of it, so long as one's needs are met. Unfortunately one of the needs of high-minded individuals seems to be to acheive more-than-human goals such as immortality, or flight, or total knowledge, all of which distract the individual from his more pressing needs or situational shortcomings.

Yet it is true that sometimes we need an egotistical confidence just to know what we know. Perhaps it is dangerous.

One thing to look at is the stability of your life. Are you meeting the goals you made for yourself last year, or 5 years ago?

There is a thin line between being a genius and being entertained by a demon.

What, that's a BAD thing?

Answer 5

Yes, if and only if one can be insanely logical at the same time.
