Are you intentionally misunderstanding? I explained it quite clearly - I am not comparing schizophrenics to librarians - I'm saying that people are stupid and ignorant and therefore believe lots of stupid things about that of which they have no direct experience, whatever that happens to be.

Keep It Real wrote::roll: being confused with murderous psychopaths is a little more than your average fallout from being misrepresented. Those poor librarians...not.

Psychopaths also get stereotyped quite unfairly as well, I believe.

As for schizophrenia and hearing voices, I read a few articles that are quite interesting:

Stanford anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann found that voice-hearing experiences of people with serious psychotic disorders are shaped by local culture – in the United States, the voices are harsh and threatening; in Africa and India, they are more benign and playful.
