    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Claridge named his concept schizotypy, and through examination of unusual experiences in the general population and clustering of symptoms in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, the work of Claridge work suggested that this personality trait was more complex than had been previously thought and could be broken down into four factors.[4][5]

    1. Unusual experiences: The disposition to have unusual perceptual and other cognitive experiences, such as hallucinations, magical or superstitious belief and interpretation of events (see also delusions).
    2. Cognitive disorganization: A tendency for thoughts to become derailed, disorganised or tangential (see also formal thought disorder).
    3. Introverted anhedonia: A tendency to introverted, emotionally flat and asocial behaviour, associated with a deficiency in the ability to feel pleasure from social and physical stimulation.
    4. Impulsive nonconformity: The disposition to unstable mood and behaviour particularly with regard to rules and social conventions.
    Although aiming to reflect some of the features present in diagnosable mental illness, schizotypy does not necessarily imply that someone who is more schizotypal than someone else is more ill. For example, certain aspects of schizotypy may be beneficial. Both the unusual experiences and cognitive disorganisation aspects have been linked to creativity and academic achievement.[6] Jackson[7] proposed the concept of ‘benign schizotypy’ in relation to certain classes of religious experience, which he suggested might be regarded as a form of problem-solving and therefore of adaptive value. The link between positive schizotypy and certain facets of creativity[8] is consistent with the notion of a "healthy schizotypy", which may account for the persistence of schizophrenia-related genes in the population despite their many dysfunctional aspects.

    Well see, that's good news. Maybe I'm the "okay" kind of psychotic...

    Ebeling spoke to NPR for the 30th anniversary of the Challenger explosion last month. Remarkably, he had spoken anonymously to the same reporter three weeks after the explosion, but now he was ready to speak publicly. He sadly recalled the day and described his three decades of guilt.

    “I think that was one of the mistakes that God made,” Ebeling told NPR. “He shouldn’t have picked me for the job. But next time I talk to him, I’m gonna ask him, ‘Why me? You picked a loser.’ ”

    But listeners didn’t hear a loser. And they sent hundreds of e-mails and letters to NPR and directly to Ebeling telling him so, NPR first reported Thursday.

    His daughter, reached at their Utah home, said she’s been reading him the letters. Engineering teachers said they use him as an example of good ethical practice. Professionals wrote that because of his example they are more vigilant in their jobs.

    But there was one person that made him finally start to believe he wasn’t to blame.

    Allan McDonald, who was Ebeling’s boss, reached out after the NPR interview aired to tell him that he had done everything he could have done to warn them, including calling Kennedy Space Center to try and stop the launch.

    And a spokeswoman for NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden sent a statement commending courageous people like Ebeling who “speak up so that our astronauts can safely carry out their missions.”

    “It’s wonderful, it’s like a miracle,” Kathy Ebeling said. “It’s starting to change his mind that he doesn’t feel so guilty, so that’s a miracle. Thirty years of guilt is long enough.”

    He told NPR that his “burden,” while not totally gone, was “certainly reduced.”

    Howard Berkes, the NPR reporter who has known him for three decades, wrote that “Ebeling is now more buoyant than at any time I’ve seen or talked to him in the past 30 years.”

    “Dad, have these letters helped you in finding your peace?” Kathy Ebeling said she’s asked him. He told her, “yes.”

    “He doesn’t have to die with this nagging guilt,” she said. “He can die free.”

    Those were two really great and moving segments. The kind of thing that makes one actually consider pledging and all of that.

    At first I was like "Damn, it's been 30 years since the Challenger explosion? I'm getting old."

    Then I was like "...yeah, you're turning 30, you moron."

    Yeah, I heard that interview on NPR. Pretty sad hearing a man so broken. Glad that people have reached out to him and that it's cheered him up.

    Sort of interesting random Japanese history trivia

    The government backed 1955 New Life Movement urged women to stay at home taking care of their husbands so that the men could give more energy to their companies. As part of this patriarchal, conservative effort.... condoms and birth control were distributed directly to women, and abortion services were made more widely available.

    And then in 1956, Japanese feminists win a major victory by... banning brothels, which had previously been legalized and licensed by the government. Prostitutes respond by organizing and forming a union to protest their loss of livelihoods.

    I always appreciate examples of things that are "naturally" conservative or liberal hobbyhorses being demonstrated not to necessarily be so.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
