A comment on Conversation: Can we really identify if someone is crazy or not?
"crazy" is a particular mental capacity that reaches a point where a person or group of people become a threat to those around them and/or society, whereas "genius" is when this party becomes a benefit.
The blurry line comes when we label people who are socially inept due to their divergent mental capacities, at which time their benefit to society in unclear.
But what if this party becomes a threat to itself?
