What's Your Disorder? the Reality Show

There is a theory, proposed by neuroscientists and philosophers, that Consciousness is a controlled hallucination. Could that be correct? If so, then what happens to the Brain, during a Bad Trip? The Bad Trip may be organic, that is, naturally induced, by some crossed and fuddled wiring, or it could be caused by the introduction of foreign substances that trigger neurons that are readily and easily massaged.

If a hallucination results in piles of disorderly jumbled jpegs, pasted on the Brain like an unscheduled disassembly of billions of pixels, then does the hallucination become controlling instead of controlled? What might be the adverse psychological consequences of such an uncontrolled hallucination? Can such an uncontrolled hallucination be a distributed phenomenon amongst a group of people?

In such an event, can that group of people, sharing the uncontrolled hallucination, create their own understanding of an irrational reality? If so, could that cause them to act, individually and collectively, like an uncontrolled mob? Possibly so, as is suggested herein; and, as is demonstrated in the daily news cycle and pages of history.

While we often question the mental state of others, jokingly and/or seriously, perhaps it might be revealing to look in the mirror, and ask that person staring back at you: WHAT'S YOUR DISORDER?
