I don't think they are one in the same, but geniuses might be legitimately crazy, but since they are geniuses, they can filter out dumb insanity and focus on how their insane ideas can change the world.

Sanity is a legal term.  Knowing right from wrong.  Any person smart or stupid knows right and wrong is a social understanding and varies from place to place, people to people.

Reality is complex.  Much more complex for smart people.  Probably why smart people are picky trying to simplify.

If you believe in duality like I do then 'crazy' can be explained as someone focusing only on their implicit perceptions rather than the explicit sensations they experience in the present moment.

It sure was a lucky pigeon, apparently it also visited him at night once and its eyes shone real bright just before it died.

I guess even people like Tesla were 'madmen' in someway.

Crazy is somewhat genius because subconsciously we are all fairly intelligent and crazy is a lot of a person.

Add some weed and it's the verge of enlightenment.  Add a properly dosed psycadelic and it's obtained enlightenment.

The line is only arbitrary.  It can be self-definied which is in itself insane, as one cannot assess their own sanity.  Or it can be defined by society, which is insane because society's only interest is in conformity to norms.

Therefore the question cannot be answered, for the drawing of the line is in and of itself an insane act. :sun:

There is no real correction for losing ones mind and people tend to over correct and that is a sure sign of disease.

Genius has been said to be pattern recognition - seeing the bigger picture no one else sees. Schizophrenia is at its least a problem of loose associations which results in pattern making overdrive in the sufferer. The patterns aren't necessarily smart patterns though. To a healthy, rational observer, they are usually just plain wrong. The sufferer has little ability to clear it up for themselves, and gets more elaborate, giving a sense of subjective complexity.

Schizophrenia is not knowing what is and isn't in reality so in my opinion all religious people are schizophrenic. That doesn't mean they're incapable of living a fulfilling and enjoyable life or that they'll be schizophrenic forever, just that what they believe isn't true and that science can explain mysterious natural phenomena as it has for centuries.

Integration. The ability to relate non-ordinary awareness to everyday life through creativity.

this is not schizophrenia, otherwise anyone with a funny/abstract idea would be labelled as such.

psychosis is more like some sort of isolated reality where you are making paranoid connections that seem genuine only because you are in a state of fear. So lots of strange thoughts can come up like believing everyone knows you and is paying attention to you, or someones out to kill you. etc.

These thought i think are bad mostly when it is influenced by fear and inability to let go of control.

Jesus coming back to life is a pretty paranoid connection.
