@gavi@bagel.ing Brains are a complex organ capable of hosting a conscious mind. It is incredible they don't go awry more severely and more often.
Be kind to the mentally ill. No matter thier symptoms, they are still a person and still deserve to be respected as such.
If you wouldn't mistreat a disabled person for being in a wheelchair, why would it be different if their disability is in their brain instead of thier legs?

Brains are also RATHER NEW at this whole, prefrontal cortex, thinky thinking, thing.
Ain't exactly great at matching it up with the limbic system, feely irrational stuff that's built much closer to the metal than the thinky bits that want to THINK they're really in charge.
