Do you think you could get him to go in somewhere and get tested - the MMPI - on a dare or something? It may well be that he has psychiatric conditions of his own that have yet to be diagnosed. From what I have observed, especially with the pressure of current economic conditions, I would conclude that just about everyone could use psychiatric help. Whether he is really just stating facts (and everyone's facts are really just opinions anyway) or intending to be hurtful, if he really sees himself as above it all he can prove it. The more certain people are of their mental health the more I tend not to believe it.
