Been watching Sapolsky lectures in between Christine Hayes lectures on YouTube. At 1 hour 10 minutes, Sapolsky talks about a condition where people are obsessed with philosophical and religious concepts and desire to write about their ideas at great length. I immediately diagnosed myself with the disorder he called temporal lobe disorder. Here for your viewing pleasure, ** you do not have permission to see this link **

One might ask if this form constitutes a group therapy session for people with this problem.

(Or an asylum.)

This is more the epileptic side of the temporal lobe personality. Includes the greatest Pharaoh based on geographic extent and the Pharaoh that completely upended their religious customs.
