"Auditory hallucinations (voices) are cognition (thoughts), thoughts that have been shaped by both historical genocide and zeitgeist."

"Metacognition is the antidote to societal poison."

Just quoted from schizophrenia.com. So many schizophrenics are super smart. I just googled metacognition & zeitgeist for the definitions. I can honestly say I never have used these words in a sentence before.  I have so much to learn about my illness!
