re: #303 Blind Frog Belly White

Well, to be fair, being a good surgeon requires a great deal of confidence in yourself and your opinion, and doesn’t require that you be at all acquainted with larger reality.

That may be it. But my question sort of remains. Do people have a chance to be separated from reality by their own hand or by physical issues? When we say someone is crazy does it not connote a physical/mental process or can someone just be crazy by allowing themselves to think a certain way, they choose to be eccentric and odd?

Is the fact that Carson is so focused on his mastery of neurosurgery allowing him to forget/not-care-for/ignore reality. And once on that road does it just keep getting deeper and stranger to the point the individual falls into the crazy world.

I’m just fascinated by the Carson character. He is obviously brilliant. But his thinking is crazy when it comes to politics. Many are thinking that. Is he really crazy mentally, sly like a fox and acting this way, or is he just mixed the hell up? And should he even be considered as a legit candidate for a high office due to it all?
