This is interesting and I think you are the one who mentioned telepathy in another post (which at first I stigmaed of madness in my mind only to reconsider it later when exposed to or reminded of an example which gave weight to that idea).
I was pondering something today which I think is relevent. I dunno how much you know about body language but for example if I am thinking I don't want to talk to someone, my arms cross, it's a kind of block jesture subconsciously meaning/communicating via body language not to talk to me, as far as my understanding goes. There are tons of examples you probably already know about, some are very subtle and I've not analysed all of them so I'm not 100% sure of their meaning but I suggest that perhaps everything we think is communicated via body language/signals in some way such as wording, so that even when we lie the message gets across (I think I've noticed in myself that there are subtle differences in wording within the same train of thought when I believe it and when I don't e.g. I believe the world is flat / the world is flat. First = where trying to convince you but I don't really believe it / second = I quasi believe it. Maybe that worked maybe it didn't but I tried to reinact not believing and then believing the same train of thought. And interesting reading back on those as if someone else said it, first sounds like an idiot or attention seeking joker (which is not true, only trying to convince someone of something you don't believe), second sounds like someone ill educated or someone from a historical time where they all believed the world was flat), expanding on this now perhaps when people solidly believe things they state it as fact and when they don't they say the opposite of what they really think i.e they believe it / it really is true / etc, all lies communicating it's a lie to the other person who just gets fed up.
Anyway I've gone off on a tangent a bit theorizing more about this. But basically, and it's a very interesting subject for me, I'm suggesting, that perhaps all thought is fitted to the subconscious or something like that so that everytime we think we jesture via body language or another mechanism of communication.
Telepathy sounded insane at first until it fitted belief in my frame of reference then I opened my mind and expanded on the idea, so perhaps everyone or most people (and reading into my own langauge I think "or" in that context really means "*" i.e. correction), believes only what connects to their frame of reference, so in order to communicate ideas outside of peoples frame of reference e.g. on the periphery of mainstream, the gap has to be bridged e.g. with an analogy. That explains why I sensed it would be effective to bridge the gap between seeing psyhchiatry as reliable and seeing it as quackery by using atheism as the bridge i.e. being an atheist of psychiatry, that fits into people's frame of reference by communicating the stigma of believing in God and joining it to psychiatry, which makes me wonder whether I am really comunicating what I think is logical or really just communicating that psychiatry is the outgroup and maybe everyone has an outgroup in their mind who are not welcome in the tribe and that's all I'm really subconsciously communicating.
Maybe that's why psychiatry and treating people dehumaized way go hand in hand because they are really treating us as the outgroup i.e. people not belonging to the belief system in the tribe or something so we have to find ways to bridge the gaps then they'll treat us as the ingroup maybe? Maybe that's where acts of kindness fit in as well. Maybe gifting is an evolutionary way of welcoming people into the tribe and allying with people / bridging the difference, so when people gift it is saying *I am friendly we are together and this was lost when money/greed/scarcity was perpetuated. I swear I'm onto something, but my mind has been altered by the drugs and I'm not as sound intellectually as I once was after being what feels like dopimine-pathway-clogged with the substance in the drug (which perhaps needs clarifying with something that recognizes the in/out group and bridges the difference because saying my mind is worse is another way of communicating I am a part of the outgroup I am thinking).
I mean, telepathy seems an odd word (*when I first heard it I naturally reacted to it as non-understanderble/outgroup) but perhaps it needs defined first in order to bridge the difference, really to welcome the other to the belief maybe, otherwise the belief goes right over their head and you are seen as the out group which is a guess as to whatever that may be which will not be based on scientific reality but stigma, I swear I'm onto this, I mean it makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint that anything that is seen as different and not understanderable slash not fitting in with current frame of reference of thoughts or ideas is seen as a danger seen as outgroup stigmatized etc. Hence why if I say I am an atheist of psychiatry I communicate via the anology pretty well, but if I say psychiatry is all lies I'm seen as the outgroup and I sense that I will be seen as the outgroup before I say it, which is where telepathy plays a role, I can sense when I'm about to say something that puts me on the outgroup status leaving me having to find my way back into the group and bridge the difference again. Maybe the problem then is that until peoples beliefs about mental illness are bridged to better understood people with mental illness they will continue to always automatically be stigmatized.
So now I want to help the mentally ill after I've been condemned to it and damaged by it, maybe I'm reading into this too much, but maybe that's because I'm now no longer seeing it as an outgroup but an ingroup, I see the reality of it and therefore I see people are like me and subjecting to wrongdoing but everyone else subconsciously stigmatizes what they don't understand as an outgroup. So until people are made to be part of the group by understanding eachother or gifting to eachother they will continue to stigmatize each other? Many of us, me included until I understood more about psychiatrists backgrounds, instinctively stigmatize the psychiatrists as bad people in the reverse effect because we don't understand why they are mistreating us. Maybe what is missing is bridging the gap between the tribes via information or gifts. This reminds me of slaves, that were different colours, I think they were being seen outgroups to eachother and that's why the blacks were shackled etc because they were automatically stigmatized as outgroup, because people couldn't relate to them from their frame of reference.
I know that's a bit of a mish mash. But that pretty well communites my theory of telepathy, probably subconscouly via wording phrasing my logical intent.
