Mental Health/Intelligence Versus Mental Illness/Unintelligence
Mental Health and Intelligence signifies the range at which any individual can encompass the entire X-ist scale. In other words, a healthier individual can understand the perspective of both the Self-ist and the Exist-ist. While an unhealthy individual (low intelligence) can only understand three, two, or just one perspective. For example, an unhealthy, mentally ill individual may be “only Self-ist”, representing the mental deficiency of Narcissism, or “only Exist-ist”, representing the mental deficiency of Nihilism.
Furthermore, a mentally healthy (Intelligent) individual can connect all perspectives together, demonstrating an extensive understanding, knowledge, and insight of all them. This would be a more “unified” or “ordered” individual, somebody who can recombine the Subject-Object duality. Average humans are more divergent, picking and choosing a spot along the scale to locate. An animal rights’ activist, or an environmentalist, serve specific ideologies along the X-ist scale. A more fundamentalist PETA member may sacrifice her life to save some rare endangered specie. Or humans may sacrifice their lives for territorial land claims, religions, whatever. All of these can be rationalized and understood, from the perspective of those taken (subdued, subordinate, and then “Nurtured”) by each ideology.
Here is another argument.
A mother abandons her newborn infant girl outside a Christian church. So the infant becomes nurtured by the church. Isn’t it obvious that the child, her “sense-of-self” will become dominated by Christian concerns throughout life? Won’t it be obvious that this adopted infant, without a biological parent, will eventually give her life in defense of her church? Isn’t it obvious how fundamentalist moslems do the same, for their own religion? It’s too obvious. An infant will protect the essence of her nurturing. This is where the loyalties ultimately arise.
If a PETA member gives birth to a child, then like the more popular cult of abrahamic-christianity, the liberal-environmentalist-PETA member will also indoctrinate the child according to the same principles. Children will grow to defend the institutions of their nurturing, and those which brought them to life to begin with (how they were procreated).
In this way, every human individual, and almost every thought, belief, alliance, ideal they have, can also be traced back down to their roots. Every ideology is predictable, some more predictable than others…
The more unintelligent, stupid, retarded, and stunted an individual is, the easier it will be to trace his/her ideology to the source. A stunted, retarded individual has simple rationalizations, and defends her ideology predictably and obviously. A more intelligent individual is more nuanced, often times lying, claiming to be a “christian” when in fact she only uses the shield of christian faith to protect herself, and does not actually believe in any of the fundamental tenets, nor does she sacrifice for them or prove her believes, when put to the test by reality. However, the more intelligent any individual is, the more powerful will be her insight regarding all possible perspectives.
The most intelligent types will essentially “Unify” the differences between subjects (Self) and objects (Existence).
