It's Time to Review Experts' Definitions of "Crazy"

There was a guy who was so bored that he went to a mental hospital and observed the mentally ill for several years. As a result...he saw that a doctor was really driven by a patient. As a result...he didn't go crazy, but instead became interested and opened a small shop. Clinic, to treat some mental patients who "escaped" from big hospitals.

He published some cases to the public: http://william-ho.lofter.com/post/6c3aa_12a70156a , and later published them together, which is quite popular. I have read "Genius is on the left, madman is on the right - the first interview notes of mental patients in China" (2010), "Notes of a Hypnotist" (2013), "Notes of a Hypnotist II" (2018).

From his treatment case, I can't read that he has any high-tech means. Even if there is, I think only those big hospitals can afford it?

In the new drama "Maniac" (Maniac, 2018), the group of high-IQ doctors tried to use artificial intelligence, a fashionable high-tech method, to completely solve the spiritual problems of human beings. As a result, in the process of driving themselves crazy, unexpectedly... ( no spoilers)

It seems that it is time for those experts in human beings to review their definition of "madness" and not be too far behind the little writer Gao Ming.

    In the end, Sister Stone saved Hill from the mental hospital and went to the future together, because the common thrilling and fantasy experience of experimental new drugs changed them and gave them a deep identity and understanding of each other. / Fukuyong's films are still a must-see. It is a comedy, but there is still a little bit of laughter. The first few episodes have a novel world view setting. It is a parallel universe in the past with a lot of futuristic content, like a small fresh version of cyberpunk. The stone soil is grounded and the suddenly advanced and exquisite performance dimension is maximized in this type of plot, but unfortunately in the magical content and alien threat paragraphs, the production is a little clumsy. / It is a pity that there is no chemical reaction between multiple lines and multiple contents. From the sci-fi setting to the neurological fantasy, I see that the realistic basis and narrative logic of the mid-term story are getting weaker and weaker, which slightly affects the substitution of viewing. / From true detective to lunatic, from nihilism to neuropsychology, Fukunaga is a director who surprises and keeps looking forward. /7.7
