Tonight a friend e-mailed me the URL for The Icarus Project
(Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness),
http://theicarusproject.net/ .

That web page says

"The Icarus Project envisions a new culture and language that resonates
with our actual experiences of 'mental illness' rather than trying to
fit our lives into a conventional framework.

We are a network of people living with and/or affected by experiences
that are often diagnosed and labeled as psychiatric conditions. We
believe these experiences are mad gifts needing cultivation and care,
rather than diseases or disorders. By joining together as individuals
and as a community, the intertwined threads of madness, creativity, and
collaboration can inspire hope and transformation in an oppressive and
damaged world. Participation in The Icarus Project helps us overcome
alienation and tap into the true potential that lies between brilliance
and madness."

Your suggestion is duly noted. However, I read a short story once that
makes me disobey. It turns out that it is wasteful because few,
especially the ones who love you, notice.
