As you may detect, some incorrect things make me anxious. I have suffered a great deal from some of them. In particular, the ones that are related to "mental illness" and what it is, what are its causes... It is possible to know quite a bit about it, I contend -- but not if you don't understand what you are doing, and are sloppy about it. Even common English language usage is full of such errors, I think.

For example, what does "evil" mean? Or just "bad" or "wrong"? Do they describe some things that exist in "reality" outside of human beings, or do they mix attempted descriptions of reality with feelings about those things?



Writing to clarify my own anxieties.
