How can I, a new PhD student who wants to change the world, avoid delusions of grandeur and mental illness in general? How do I know when I've discovered something useful versus some psychopathic delusion?

When you think you've found out something, pass at least 2-3 hours a day for 2 weeks digging deep into the literature to see if someone hasnt found it out already in the same or other contexts. If your finding passes this test you may have found something useful
