Oh right. So they are mentally entirely competent. Super.

Presumably they are on meds for ... what, a headache? Not as an attempt to control erratic/unpredictable/abnormal/dangerous behaviour.

And a "behaviour" such as shitting on the floor wherever they happen to be is entirely because they have things all sussed out. Not at all because they are oblivious, due to mental incompetence, to the fact that this "behaviour" is not widely acceptable to the bulk of the population.

Nope, not due to mental malfunction at all.

You're leaving your job. Is that, I wonder, because you are happy that you have now met so many people who have things "sussed out" and behave in a manner you see as 'brilliant'. Or because you can't take any more of coping with people who have mental malfunctions.

I have pity for people who are afflicted in such a way, I have no sympathy for people who try to pretend that these afflicted people are anything other than seriously mentally unwell and attempt to glamorize or normalize their behaviours.

Near enough!

In this case, I have to agree with our esteemed colleague, AquaFresh.
Consider this example:
You are at the zoo. There is a cage with two monkeys in it.
One is a 'good' monkey and does typical monkey-types things.
The 'bad' monkey sits at the back of the cage, masturbating and hurl shit at you.
Which do you prefer? Which is better from your point of view?

In even asking the question, you have anthropomorphised them and you should check your privilege.

But arguably, it is the 'bad' monkey that has it sussed and the 'good' monkey will inevitably suffer from Marx’s (/Feuerbach’s) concept of alienation/Entfremdung:
The detachment of the person from their own humanity caused by being turned into a tool of production. Life then becomes ordered around the labour process and is no longer your own.

Oh the humanity.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid I cannot bring myself to contemplate agreeing or disagreeing with a tube of toothpaste. I would need to have anthropomorphised it first and I don't have any privileges to check. I think I might have left them on the bus.

Was it ever proven that either of the monkeys used toothpaste?
