I'm impatient with statements of certainty about it (like in the religions) if they don't come with more than inferential evidence.

One trick is not to identify with what you feel. Your feelings are a landscape you happen to exist within, full of signposts and briars relevant to you but not necessarily of your making nor the making of those around you, while you and they also contribute to that landscape. That's life.
Iamwhomiam, schizoid is what we do and what we are in this world we're making. How else to escape except through exploring contradiction? And yet while contradiction is an eternal problem, how we reconcile contradiction is the supreme art, one we're losing sight of.

Huh? What fashion is that? Any chance you could expand a little on that?
Edit: To everyone misusing the word schizoid: please don't, it's really annoying. Schizoid is not the same as schizophrenic. They're two separate things. I'm schizoid, which just means that I prefer my own company over that of others and that I'm really fucking bad at picking up on social cues and non-verbal communication.
… there’s something that should be said of the split personality’s parallel perception of seeing conspiracies in the crazy stories constantly presented on the mainstream media (such as above); like seemingly existing in a separate reality from friends, family, former friends, and few fuggin’ foes, who still have faith that 19 hajis hijacked some Boeings to demolish those buildings in 2001, or that we went to war to fight Al Kidney, or that JFK was shot by Osvald, or that the Gulf of Tonkin was truly attacked, or that MLK was killed by McVeigh, or that OKC was done by Ray, or a republican or democrat can make a difference, or that crisis actors don’t actually exist, or that the stuff we see on the TV is true… or still perceive that the Earth is a sphere… etc.
Since I wasn’t present at any of those instances and really can’t tell what actually happened, I’m simply repeating what a lotta people are already realizing - inside themselves, that mainstream television (and corrupt politicians) are serving an agenda to stash some cash from the bookies who bribe ‘em with made up money… So yeah, crashing the economy would create a calamity, and as we all know - if we’re not careful the buck’s gonna stop here pretty soon; so I’m really not interested in trying to instigate a political uprising, surely incitin’ possibly concentrated mainstream masses - into social classes, so a progressive agenda can General-ly continue to make America great again?
Resonating with my ’stupid’ perceptions was R W’s description (posted somewhere) expounding upon the scary proposal that television, video games, social media, and following a phone for information to find your way for food - and everything, are fast facilitating an irresistible, truly electronic, trip-ily troubling and tentatively intolerable alternate reality run by tyrants for more than money…

To me it seemed an apt description for what I and others have long been observing, schizophrenic-like posting behavior from someone I never accused of being a Nazi, though they continue to claim I did just that.
To be wrongfully accused of being a Nazi should be an unforgivable act. Also, to wrongfully accuse another of calling someone a Nazi when they said, wrote, no such thing, likewise should be so condemned. I'll get around to offering chump a more thorough response soon enough. Good thing I'm a forgiving guy!
Wrongly addressed Elvis rather than Dr. Evil. My apologies to both.

(Are they misusing "schizoid" here?)

(we think. In a materialistic view our consciousness is an emergent property of the physical interactions happening inside our brains.
