Clarity in the Fog of Madnesss

My last post was an emotional disorganized jumble of crap that was the result of venting frustration.  I will endeavor for this post to be a bit more organized at hopefully a better example of proper grammar. ;)  The idea that has been stuck in my head is a continuation of a theme I have posted about many times in the past year of trying to understand how *I* work as a social creature.  A recent set of revelations has shed more light on the subject.

I recently solved a problem.  Well I suppose solved isn't the right word I suppose developed a logical framework that if accepted could resolve several logical disputes that have existed in my mind for some time.  My confidence in this solution however is pretty low because this completely insane idea came after several sleepless nights and I can't tell if I have stumbled on a genius solution, or the preposterous ideas of a madman. Have you ever questioned your own mind?  When something makes so much sense but at the same time you can also see it as lunatic raving.


I don't really want to talk about the 'solution' directly because that's not the point of this post.  The point of this post is to try to work out a reasonable or logical method by which one (I) could review a theory and determine if I am looking at genius or madness.  The way I have historically done this is put the idea on the shelf, in the low priority processing queue and see if it holds up to repeated testing and scrutiny. This particular situation doesn't allow for that and because of this there is no reasonable way to test these theories.  The only way they can make sense is when you apply them to my previous memories and understandings to attempt to reconcile these impossible dichotomies that I have observed.  These polar extremes of observed situations that previous logic/understanding would have said were impossible to both exist can no longer be used.  Einstein said that “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” So it's clear I must find a different logical framework to explain my observations however my observations are relative and corrupted by my memory.  So with a framework that can't be tested and is used to explain situations observed in the past that are tainted by my impressions at the time and my impressions now I am left without a method definitively claim victory or defeat over these problems.

This is not a rhetorical question I seriously don't know.  Is it better to forget about these unbalanced equations, continue to try to solve them, or by faith accept this new crazy theory that so far has been nearly prefect in explaining previously opposed observations?  To those who aren't blessed/cursed with a mind that constantly questions things I'm sure that if you made this far into the post feel as though they have read the pointless ranting of lunatic and for that I'm sorry, not really you read at your own risk. :) For the rest I invite those who understand what it's like to think about everything to provide some advice as I'm certain I'm not the first or last person to have this question.  At this point I'm not sure if I can see the light, or if I'm imagining it.
