Your statements about what you know about me and my lived experiences, and my level of knowledge of those experiences, is bizarrely cruel. Please do not do this. Please don't try to silence me just because those things don't match up with your own experiences.

I don't know where you are getting the notion that I am saying that mania is rational or controllable. I was speculating based on personal experience around high stress situations. I do not understand why you are choosing to attack the notion that there could be evolutionarily advantageous benefits conferred upon the group.

Edit: we agree that I am speculating. I disagree with you that I have no right to speculate
