Therefore, to the common psychopath, the sentence "scientists agree that [...]" does not parse in any sense nor to any degree as a discussion of the state of understanding of a field, fragmentary, disjointed and non-uniform as it may find itself. Instead, what the psychopath means is that he has instantiated a group, for which he has appointed icons, with which he finds himself in immediate communion. This excludes the possibility of error and the necessity of doubt, as indeed there can be no space between what the icons say and what the psychopath understands, rendering the proverbial heavy lifting to featherweight effort.
The last item in the articulation also readily classifies the common psychosis : it is not chemical, nor is it organic. The common psychosis is simply stress psychosis, induced in the weak of heart by the extreme abundance of ideal objects, the deluge of representation, the endless truckloads of possible disjointed meanings coming head on down the Information Superhighway.
This conceptual abundance is particularly indigestible for a certain subset of the planet's population, specifically the barely literate, monolingual scions of an erstwhile republic. As the star of their state set, the intellectual fashions prevalent settled on a particularly ill-advised rehash of their earlier primitive ideas of individualism and self-sufficiency. The resultant ideological murk (" New Age"), anchored by "self-esteem" and "you can do anything", is particularly ill suited to survive the onslaught of the Internet era, exactly in the way and exactly for the reasons Nazionalsozialismus was ill suited to conceptualize the superiority of soviet armor, or marxism-leninism ill suited to conceptualize the sociopolitical dangers of "cool".
