Great idea to interview this side of the lens, too. I had a reference for Marcus, who seemed -understandably- surprised that the reality constructed by his subject/director, while the reality of someone we define as suffering from psychosis, was "perfectly logical." The reference I'd like to share is to Ian McGilchrist's latest book, The Matter With Things. This is a giant book, but one can get the gist of it by listening to the chapter-by-chapter RUclipss he kindly provided. He makes quite a few references to how logical people whom we label as psychotic actually are; in fact, one productive way to think about the realities they construct is that logic is ALL they have - they are missing a big picture, dynamic albeit fuzzy context into which they can put the stream of their lived experiences. Your observations support Dr. McGilchrist's.
