jazzmann91Wed, Feb 10, 2010 Your fear of insanity and need for 100% certainty will cause you endless curiosity and probably disappointment. If you get past the fear you'll see that being insane, just means you have to be more strategic in how you present yourself. For some reason most people think insanity comes with a lack of control over one's actions, but does it always?
Also, if your mind was "too open", as you surmise, you would be more sane, do little, and view most of the rest of humanity as insane.
About mind theory: I would encourage people to trust some of the oldest known theories of the mind and meditate more. When your mind is gone, you will know 100% of nothing. Which is what I make claim to. My motto is I know nothing and I don't believe it! :-)
About paradigms: No paradigm shift will save us, because humans don't understand paradigms and don't relate to them. There will be a weaponless revolution eventually. It should be fun. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. I hope you'll participate.
