I feel like a bit of a psycho

Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm either the most intelligent man in the world or the stupidest (and the most naive) one. I'm more realistically somewhere in between, but I guess the conscious mind needs to rely on an extreme. During the last 3 or 4 last centuries, we've developped binary languages that today are used to communicate with computers.

But along the way, we've also discovered that our minds work a bit of the same way, only that we don't call it binarity, we call it duality. It's either day or night (dawn is so inappropriately ignored). It's either black or white. Good or evil. God, the Devil. Love, hate. Yes, no. Nothingness, infinity.

But really, to what extent we are either one or the other of two poles is so hard to tell that we end up just claiming the closest one as ours. There are no socio-capitalists. Those right in the middle are generally called capitalists and are despised. I'm harder to define I guess, in that I call myself a capitalist, and I encourage capitalism, yet I don't buy stuff, I don't consume much, I don't pride myself in owning anything and give little to no worth to material possession. Yet, the money I have saved, I wouldn't want to share it with everybody. I would only share it with the people I deem worthy. Maybe one day, I will own nothing, but I'll die with an morbidly obese bank account and some lucky people will inherit an interesting amount of money (these people are still to be selected). Or maybe that I could be willing to give some of my money so that someone I love can achieve something important, or merely for surviving. I've been known to loan money to people who couldn't pay their rent, for a month (which reminds me, that guy still owes me money... on the to-do list).

I got a bit off-topic there... wait, did I really have a topic? Duality? No, that was already part of the digression. Psychosis, according to the title? A little. I think we can agree on the fact that I'm abnormal. Psychotic, not really. Psychotic is a little extreme, and as I've explained, I'm probable somewhere between sane and insane, just like anybody else. But seeing where I am, the balance is slightly tilting towards insane.

I just realized something really relevant to what I'm doing here: I don't actually have anything to say.
