Ever make a stupid decision that you later regret? Blame it on the subconscious.
P.S. I taught myself to lucid dream, so my subconscious mind can't control my dreams anymore!
Originally posted by Gear First off, we have to ask ourselves, What is schizoprhenia?
Simple answer being that reality is substituted an individual's reality, for the individual. In other words, it is a matter of perception.
That being said, unless we are omniscient, it is impossible not to be schizoprhenic.
Schizophrenia is a disorder that lasts for at least 6 months and includes at least 1 month of active-phase symptoms (i.e., two [or more] of the following: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganised or catatonic behavior, negative symptoms).
...
Delusions are erroneous beliefs that usually involve a misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. Their content may include a variety of themes (e.g., persecutory, referential, somatic, religious, or grandiose). Persecutory delusions are most common; the person believes he or she is being tormented, followed, tricked, spied on, or ridiculed. Referential delusions are also common; the person believes that certain gestures, comments, passages from books, newspapers, song lyrics, or other environmental cues are specifically directed at him or her. ... Delusions are deemed bizarre if they are clearly implausible and not understandable and do not derive from ordinary life experiences. An example ... is a person's belief that a stranger has removed his or her internal organs and has replaced them with someone else's organs without leaving any wounds or scars. Delusions that express a loss of control over mind or body are generally considered to be bizarre; these include a person's belief that his or her thoughts have been taken away by some outside force..., that alien thoughts are being acted on or manipulated by some outside force...
Hallucinations may occur in any sensory modality (e.g., auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile)... The hallucinations must occur in the context of a clearn sensorium; those that occur while falling asleep (hypnagogic) or waking up (hypnopompic) are considered within the range of normal experience.
Certain types of auditory hallucinations (i.e., two or more voices conversing with one another or voices maintaining a running commentary on the person's thoughts or behavior) have been considered to be particularly characteristic of Schizophrenia.

In nothing, the answer to that is yes we are. Just think of all the drugs we take now compared to years ago, we take drugs like sweets and I sometimes wonder do we actually need them.

I don't know if I buy that... Unless I'm asleep, I'm consciously aware of what I'm thinking, doing, saying... Sometimes so much so that I get wicked self-conscious...
I'm learning to catch my snap judgements, cancel them from my brain, and 're-trace the steps' which brought me to that judgement.
Okay, this might sound silly, but.. wouldn't/couldn't the un/sub-conscious rebel? Throw a hissy fit? ('I want my control back!')

There has been a distirbing trend to add chemicals to our water and food supply. I suspect this is one of the reasons why degenerative diseases' are on the rise. By increasing the diabetes and high cholesterol rate of the population there would be the potential to make money by selling pharmeceutical drugs to keep the disease's in check (Not cure).
The question should be is the human race being systematically and deliberatly poisoned for profit and mind control?

Yeah, see, this is why I unplugged from the popular media. I have enough stress on my own, in my own head, without heaping on all the terror crap. I may be considered to live under a rock, and completely uninformed... but at least I'm not pulling my hair out over every little thing.
