What has been called mental disorder is then, in fact, “law-integration disorders”. The inability to integrate the default mode network with an external legal force, causes attenuation of the brain’s executive (ego) function, making it difficult for the individual to filter and integrate new information. The onset of “law-integration disorder” then acts as a pathological infection, decreasing the  brain’s ability to regulate inflow of memes, leading to secondary infections, made possible by the primary infection.

Secondary infections that become infectious after the onset of “law-integration disorder” are memes that are devious, entering under false pretenses, planted through manipulation, memes that replicate virulently, often bypassing the executive function, memes that cause an indolent infection, to become virulent later.

“Law-integration disorders” and the case for basic income

If “law-integration disorder” causes what we call mental disorder, then that creates an ethical paradox. Society, and the people who secure and give authority to the nation-state consensus, is directly responsible for the cause of primary infections and the onset of law-integration disorder. Similar to how HIV causes AIDS, the action of breaking another person’s executive system is the root cause of secondary memetic infections, and what is broadly called mental illness.

Just like an employee can sue an employer if they suffer health damage, so too could a person who has been diseased in “law-integration disorder” sue their nation-state, because the terms of the social contract led to disease. Therefore, every citizen who is broken down adds to government debt, and once the first precedent is set for suing the state for “legal diseases” that debt will begin to strain on the budget of governments.

Universal basic income decreases the external legal force which each person is subjected to, and makes it easier to integrate the executive system with the nation-state, which leads to a decreased prevalence of legal disorders, and therefore decreased government debt.

Those governments who choose to implement basic income first, will be those who build up the least debt to law-integration disorder victims (which via the court system could be collected with mass law-suits once the first precedent for that is set), and those governments will therefore be ahead of the evolutionary curve, and more competitive in the global economy.
