Is there a definitive line that divides crazy from sane? With a hair-raising delivery, Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test, illuminates the gray areas between the two. (With live-mixed sound by Julian Treasure and animation by Evan Grant.)
It's 18:01 long, and worth watching. I've seen it I don't know how many times, and the image of the guy who got himself admitted to Broadmoor in order to avoid a prison sentence, and then couldn't get out, stays with me, always in the back of my mind. Ronson starts there and takes it to places you might not think about. It's well worth your time, and I'd love to see your feedback.
Are any of us not crazy? What separates us from those who hurt/kill other people? What about those who lie/steal/con? Ever had a bad dream? Hated someone? Been depressed?
