Pixelated Semantics

An old disorder for the new world

According to the SMH, artists are rebellious because 'creative types are more prone to psychosis' and other mental illnesses. Writers apparently scored highest on 'most personality disorder scales'. Isn't it reassuring to know that we're not driven by dissatisfaction with society and politics, nor divine inspiration, nor even just good ideas or stimulation from learning, observing, and socialising; rather, it's just the old 'personality disorder' - and what sounder reason would people need to ignore the work of artists next time they may feel challenged by them?
