>>12430858When you look at it from a binary point of view, in that you either have schizophrenia or not, the whole thing becomes very muddy and it's hard to come up with an explanation as to why schizophrenia is over-represented and obviously promoted to an extent. When you take the spectrum approach however things begin to clear out. For an example, let's assume that schizophrenia is a spectrum disorder and that there's a high-functioning schizophrenia along with the other end of catatonic schizophrenia. Let's also remove the name schizophrenia because it carries a lot of semantic baggage and let's call it Delusion, which is the bound variable of this disorder that's present in all the forms.
So now that it's much clearer, let's try to figure out whether being delusional ups your fitness score in certain cases. Long story short as we've been through this topic in literally every incel thread, yes it does and delusional narcissists have a much higher chance of reproducing from that attribute alone. So females promote and select for delusions to some extent. If we evoke the spectrum approach back, it becomes very apparent that what we called "high-functioning schizophrenia" is in fact just being lightly delusional, while typical schizophrenia is being moderately delusional and extreme schizophrenia being completely detached from reality. The promotion of this lighter form leads to an overshoot promotion of the other two forms, but modern psychiatry does not use this approach and begins the definition of the illness straight from when it's talking-to-angels tier, which is where their problem arises from, that these more radical forms are promoted a little bit without an explanation. What psychiatry misses however is the fact that low levels of delusions are promoted A LOT and are in fact pretty much a prerequisite for mating, else you seem like a low-energy depressed numale who is not confident in himself. The overshoot of this selection is "schizophrenia".
