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.
I see we have the resident genius on hand. Yes, anything that
doesn't fit within your narrow understanding of science is
idiotic. I would get in to it with you but I really do have
better things to do then try to educate you on what real science
is and what we really know about all the problems that we think
we know so much about. Just keep in mind, second hand knowledge
of science may be useful but it does not mean you understand
science, it's purpose, or how it relates in the big picture.
BTW, using your logic cults must be created by the cultists all
having the same food diet. Yes, I know you will say that is not
what you said because there are other factors like vitamin
deficiencies(certain combinations, like some chemical ratios, of
vitamin deficiencies creates cults).
In fact, if you think a cult member is crazy then you also have
to scientifically find some correlation between all them and
diet. You should have no problem with your gifted scientific
abilities to prove that! Just go collect the data, genius!
(again, you will say it is not about vitamins because vitamins
are basically related to food so that was already addressed in
the first case and it is really some other thing...)
But, I see you have lived with a bunch of crazy people your
entire life... Too bad you haven't learned about relativity... or
psychology.
