        Delusional misidentification syndrome is an umbrella term … for a group of four delusional disorders that occur in the context of mental and neurological illness. They are grouped together as they often occur simultaneously or interchange, and they display the common concept of the double (sosie). They all involve a belief that the identity of a person, object, or place has somehow changed or has been altered. [Author] Christodoulu further categorized these disorders into those including hypo (or under)-identification of a well-known person (Capgras delusion), and hyper (or over)-identification of an unknown person (the remaining three). As these delusions typically only concern one particular topic, they also fall under the category called monothematic delusions.

        Interesting!

          “Syndrome of delusional companions is the belief that objects (such as soft toys) are sentient beings.” Wait so does Calvin have this?

        This article is awesome.

        This put a light on Twin Peaks world and more generally David Lynch work. I think most of these delusions are present in his movies.

    Motherfucking Theseus gnomes. Always fucking shit up. They keep switching out my testicles. I have no idea where they came from.

    Also, I thought it said thesaurus gnomes the first time I read it, which is still kinda funny.

      You’re not the administrator anymore dummy, the gnomes are. What you gotta do is wait until 3 am (peek gnome hour) and wait for them to emerge, hold one hostage and demand that gnome tech support reinstate you as admin. It’s pretty easy really, just use pepper jack cheese as bait, gnomes fucking live ppj cheese

    Glad that’s not happening to me. I’ve had the same PC since 2007.
