I’m of the opinion that delusional beliefs are a natural consequence of creativity and imagination. There may yet be a correlation beteeen genius and madness.

I’m of the opinion that delusional beliefs are a natural consequence of creativity and imagination. There may yet be a correlation beteeen genius and madness. Take Tesla’s Wardenclyffe experiment. Assuming we don’t believe he would have succeeded, it was a delusional dream. He had spent his life thinking radically and having it align with reality, so he didn’t doubt his hunch about wireless power. Perhaps delusional thoughts are a result of accurate guesses growing up which don’t compensate for mental faculty decline. This brings fear and defensive attitudes and ultimately leads to a thick headed belief that is static.
