No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Incorrect, it's not a malfunction, it's your thought process in overdrive. You're thinking so fast and so clearly that your brain literally can't keep up. You have overclocked yourself.
I'm not sure if you've tripped before, but that hardly explains the reality-obliterating hallucinations on all sensory inputs. There's feedback loops everywhere at that point. The moment there's hallucinations or synesthesia you could argue the brain is not operating to spec and, at least temporarily, malfunctioning, as in, you probably wouldn't usually be able to use your brain to overcome challenges it's been designed to overcome when operating normally.
Hey I'm all for it, you can argue you learn a lot about reality itself once your senses go out the door and your brain stops processing reality the way we normally process it, but it's still not how the brain has been designed to sense and respond to reality.
My experiences with it leave me lamenting my humanity and finding it way too limiting
