The only thing worse than being guided in your thoughts and actions by delusion is... shared delusion. When Crazy draws a crowd then you have a problem. The crowd that Crazy draws is called, Mob. Crazy and Mob are what you would call rap partners in The Joint... in prison. Two people brought together by... hmm? right! Brought together by shared delusion.

Delusion falls into two main camps. Most delusions tend to create two main perspectives and then... there are little camps that come about through magnetic similarities. You've heard that birds of a feather flock together, and that is true with every species. People shouldn't try to mix in with those they have no magnetic associations with, cause... when you get found out... they jump you. This happens everywhere.

What do I mean when I say 'jump you?' Well, I don't... necessarily... mean that they literally jump you, although in certain circles and environs that is exactly what happens. It means they turn on you at the level... where that sort of thing happens... at the level it happens at. It could be everything from whisper campaigns and shunning to blanket parties. It could be everything from a dirty look to death and dismemberment. A lot of it is cultural. You find a different kind of justice in The Hindu Kush than you do on Wall Street or the salon society of The Upper East Side.
