Question if is normal as my brain is more developed that I know right from wrong, even when I am sometimes delusional

Is it normal that as an adult that I still know right from wrong, even when I am psychotic? It's just my brain is much more developed, I did not know right from wrong when I was delusional at the 15, and even as an adult, I sometimes am delusional.

  • I experimented briefly with stronger psychedelic compounds when I was younger. I found that unlike my NT companions no matter how disabled I was by the drug, there remained a core of me (possibly an "alter") that seemed to remain rooted in reality, and for want of a better word, "looked after me", during the psychedelic journey. 

    Being "neurotypical" seems to include having no ability to function "out side of your lane", and those of us who do display such abilities seem to be either exalted, or feared.

    As for "knowing the difference between right and wrong" as other posters will point out, there are not many people who get up in the morning, knowing that they play for the side of evil.

    In pretty much all of the bad people I've met, and when I've been evil myself, there has been a substantial element of willing self deception at play. Often accompanied by discarding words and terms that most accurately describe the behaviour one wants to engage in, and "rebranding" or redefining the behaviour by misusing other words and employing "double standards" and "sophistry".

    I've found that good people can descend into evil practices quite easily.

    Soldiers are a classic in your face example of this. Both armies in the current conflict, (mostly) believe they are "fighting the good fight" Many, Many, civilians I meet are strongly "pro" one side or another, whilst ignoring the reality that at least ONE side is doing great evil by cheerfully engaging in combat with the other. The fact that there is any argument at all as to who is right, suggests that a good fifty percent of so called "Normal" people are in fact deluded as regards who is good and who is bad in the Ukraine situation.

    Very few of us can even entertain the idea that BOTH sides have become pretty indistinguishable in their blood lust and that the tiny minority of us who see both sides as having descended into great evil seem to be universally seen as "missing the point" by the combative majority.

    Nevertheless, one fact alone stands out from all the confusion and delusion we all encounter. Outside of speculative theories, it can be observed that there is only ever really one truth about a given situation and many lies. (or misunderstandings which is when a lie is mistaken for the truth due to lack of discernment on behalf of the "misunderstander")

    Truth applies to all situations, lies generally have much more limited scope of influence. Therefore when someone's description of a situation keeps changing in it's details, you can tell they are likely to be practicing dishonesty or promoting a delusion because those of us who can manage bursts of "living in the truth", never have to "remember the details", as we are "describing" rather than "inventing" reality.
