A Least-Case Hermeneutics

Hermeneutics is the discipline of seeking understanding; for me and for others subject to psychosis there are times when such understanding (insight) is completely compromised.

Accordingly, it would be helpful to derive a "least-case hermeneutics" for situations requiring satisfaction of the minimum requirement of insight, and such would become a highly practical undertaking-- no "arm-chair philosophy" whatsoever.

I for one have never when psychotic been able to detect that my delusions are false ideas, although I have propped every kind of leverage-cognitive that I can muster to ascertain that I would KNOW reality from illusion...to no avail... I simply choose illusion. A least-case hermeneutics therefore constitutes a high priority for this psychotic, and I shall pursue it as energies and skills permit.
