Samantha: "And then what? You have reached back from the far highly
capable future
and plucked someone out of his time. He is now in a world utterly
incomprehensible to most all of his assumptions and most of his
knowledge. A world where all that he cared about is very ancient and
not very interesting history. Are you sure any but the extremely rare
individual would thank you or be able to cope? Even those individuals
would require a tremendous amount of new knowledge and tools really
quickly. If you just implanted all that right now would the result
more
than superficially be the original person?"
Hi, Samantha, this actually what happened when one is in
delusion/mistaking thought as reality. Delusions of persecution in
psychological terms is an escape of a narcissistic ego. The narcissist
suffers when his/her desires are not met with satisfactory results.
Emotionally challenged individuals cling to memories/thoughts and need
intensive psychiatric evaluation to taylor the proper treatment as
early as possible before the brain's coping capabilities further
decline into major depression as in post-traumatic injuries.
