Could also be a psychotic episode or some such. The

You've got stuff like "I can save the world" in there, which
sounds more like mental illness than an imposter to me.
If someone's going around as an imposter on a web forum, I'd
say it's pretty clear that in and of itself indicates SOME
form of mental illness, even if the illness is something as
basic and simple as "idiot" and "jackass".
We already know we've had a problem with a puppet whackjob
here lately. Occam's Razor suggests it's likely just more of
the same nut. Over-analysing unlikely scenarios is only going
to encourage more.
It's also known that mental illness readily stems from paranoia
and believing others are mentally ill and out to get them in
some way shape or fashion.
Its known by who? By armchair psychologists? Paranoia is a
symptom of mental illness not a cause in itself. And paranoid
delusions vary from person to person, they dont generally think
other people are mentally ill.
Probably comes from primitive circuitry that hasn't yet been
eliminated evolution wise(after all, modern societies have only
existed for a few hundred years... lot's have changed but the
brain has yet to evolve to handle those changes).
There are many causes, genetic, environmental, gut bacteria,
autoimmune disease. There's cases of people who have had their
gut bacteria replaced to deal with other health issues who have
suddenly been cured of their OCD for example. A lot of gut
bacteria consume or produce neurotransmitters for example. Brain
inflammation is another cause, a big area of research at the
moment.
The point is most of these causes are not down to prehistoric
brain circuits, it's genuinely other causes. Or a mix of all
these things together.
You are vastly over simplifying a very complex issue.
Also there's no way we can know how much of a modern problem it
is because we've only seen mental illness as an illness for a
couple of hundred years. So we have no idea whether it is more
prevalent now that it was a thousand years ago.
After all, I'd say that a society that has developed weapons
that can only be used to destroy itself requires a massive
amount of mental illness... of course, they disagree, so maybe
mental illness is actually relative. It's known quite well that
most people who work in the mental illness sector are also
mentally ill themselves(I guess it's hard not to go crazy when
everyone else is).
The idea that "crazy" is catching is idiotic, sorry.
