My conlang: mad-geni-lization——madgenilization

Which was come from: madness, genius and civilization.

1/ The first idea was from a story I saw it on the social media post, which was about that a doctor found that two patients were talking happily while they were silent  in the day time.

So the story showed that maybe we (the doctors) spent our whole life imprisoning the man with mental illness in another world with mild violence.

2/ The story linked to Foucault’s point in the book Madness and civilization, which pointed out the idea of that: Crazy is not a natural phenomenon, but a product of civilization, crazy is not a natural phenomenon, but a product of civilization.

3/ So the concept made me think about the thing that whether we are actually  “normal” person while the men with mental illness are “abnormal” person? Or all of those are just the idea we (our human-being) gave.Which was led to the point that: truth is the thing that is regarded as truth in a specific historical environment, and is the result of using power, while man is just a tool of using power.
