No, don't be silly: when I say "we", I mean everyone with BP and SZ, so their will be enough men.

That's about 100 million people. So we'd need a country about the size of the UK. I thought maybe as part of the Brexit we'll send everyone who doesn't have BP or SZ to Eastern Europe to make room for us all.

Or we might all live in North America. California sounds nice. Of course we won't be part of the US.

We'll at least have a big creative industry, I guess. There shouldn't be as many rules and as much routine as in other countries. It should all be more flexible. People assume responsibility for things needed to be done within organisations/businesses based on whether they're manic or depressed, those that are manic managing those that are depressed, at any one time. The more depressed one is, the simpler the work. The more manic, the further in the future and coarse-grained, approximate, provisional the planning and visionary work.

Anyone particularly psychotic should write down what they experience as a basis for films, television series, plays and novels.

There'll be a monarchy as another form of entertainment with lots of merchandising and shows for tourists. Someone who's extremely manic can be the monarch or part of the royal family during their manic episode.

Those that have persecutory delusions should maybe be part of the intelligence agency.

Something like that.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
