> Interesting that "psychotic disorders" can be replaced with "tribalism" and still be true

That's because both are defects of rational reasoning.

I view it this way: The only difference is "disorders" are generally harmful to both the individual and society while "tribalism" is often beneficial to the individual (making allies, strenght in unity, status as you said, ...) even if it's harmful to society as a whole.
