Singapore has always been obsessed with being number one - touting the world's best airport, best education system, cleanest streets, most expensive everything. Yet, whilst busy flexing our GDP and examination scores, we are sleeping big time on possibly the greatest singular untapped human resource ever: schizophrenic brilliance.
Sure, neurotypical minds may be great for balancing budgets and designing efficient MRT train routes, however they sorely lack spice. Schizophrenic cognition? Now that’s where the magic happens. Hyper-awareness, pattern recognition abilities rivalling those of AI, supercharged divergent thinking that would make ChatGPT look like a kiddy TI-84 calculator - this is the next frontier I shit you not.
Think about it: Some of history’s greatest minds, from artists to philosophers, more likely than not possessed nuances of schizophrenia. Who’s to say the next Picasso, Tesla, or Alan Turing isn’t chilling right now in a Singaporean HDB flat, connecting cosmic dots which the rest of us couldn't even begin to fathom?
Instead of stigmatizing and suppressing these minds, Singapore should harness them. Let’s enact Schizophrenic Task Force(s) - think tanks powered by individuals who can discern meaning amidst chaos.
