I thought of an insight related to buckminster fuller's idea of synergy indirectly at least and if it's about the quote that I mentioned about how something about how we need some spontaneous social behaviors in order to save the planet and I think mania is one of those spontaneous social behaviors or it's an energy that produces spontaneous social behavior and it does it in a way that's not contrived it's sort of a moment to moment thing and a person is walking around attempting to basically get people to play with them in a way and this play could be a spontaneous social behavior that we need but what happens is after a certain period of time that energy fizzles out either because it's too powerful or because a person runs into too many buzz kills and at first we're able to ignore the buzz kills and sort of just keep going or insert our positive projections of their experience of the other person's interpretation of it to sort of uplift it to the next level meaning if I'm in mania I might do something and somebody responds in a way that could be good and could be bad but since I'm in such a positive state I interpret their response in the positive way and that keeps me going even though inside their head they might have been kind of wondering what the heck that was all about and even that can be seen as a positive thing creating some cognitive dissonance or a pattern interrupt in people's daily monotonous life and I was thinking too that in mania a person is generally at least at some point very social and even if the person's not typically programmed to be very social they end up very social in mania and the socialness is trying to create more socialness or connections or bonding oxytocin experiences and then what happens is after that certain period of time where it fizzles out because it's not participated with a person really has to be participated with and uplifted I don't think they have to but it's trying to maybe create little sparks in all the people interacting with the manic person and then eventually those sparks are the dissipation of the energy it gets diffused out to the populace maybe that's what happens it's like all the energy is contained in that one person and they go around spreading and spreading and spreading it until they've drained their battery and then what happens is a person that's been relating in mania in all those mostly positive ways released for a good period of time ends up draining months battery and then going into mania or psycho I mean sorry psychosis or depression and then a person might have a team of say one between one and twenty people supporting them through the depression it's like well when I was in mania why didn't have 20 people around me uplifting me in and playing with me and having fun with me all the time like a solid good constant team and then it happens instead in the bad states the crisis the fallout the depression the the psychosis and then we have this big team of professionals and family and friends if they stay around to help us out why are there people helping us out when we're up here maybe they are and maybe people that we meet randomly as strangers are helping us out and it's almost like that energy is better dissipated in the strangers but then as soon as we go back to our family they have disbelief about how wonderful the world is it's not even disbelief it can be seen as disbelief about how wonderful the individual person is and the family doesn't see it that way because the family knows the person as a certain person and they're projecting their own crap on to this empty space of energy and sharing and that is a buzzkill for sure if a person was able to just go off and never come back maybe they would stay in that high energy state but it's almost like the the habit which is the family the habitat and the habits of the person are like a funnel that is eventually going to swallow the person up in terms of the family being well why aren't you doing what yo
