Silly i hope thats not your way of saying you're sane. Insanity, like other diseases, are most dangerous when we don't know we have them. You can't treat what you think you don't have.

Denial.

That's a river in egypt to me m8. I can never be completely sane but I can pass myself off as such when confronted. As long as they walk away thinking "Wow man, he's crazy" I've got them where I want 'em.

i dont even know what you mean by sane or insane at this point


all i see are 7 billion people running around, the majority of whom have a reasonable amount of fear in them to keep from changing the way things are being done


as far as i know
insane means that you are not able to 'contribute to the cause' because you dont move the right way

sane means you agree with the rest of the people and act accordingly

It's very hard for me to explain via internet (i'm more adept at conversation). Every person has some sort of deep psychosis, as per the DSM IV definition, as I know it.

I understand that typically insane refers to a comparison versus every other person on the planet, so try to imagine you are an alien. Worshiping invisible men that hate gays. Giving yourself cancer. Destroying other species so we can look pretty. Building big shrines to our ancestors while our brothers go hungry. Hating a man because he was born with more melanin in his skin.

My definition of insanity comes from taking a minute to step outside my monkey brain and really see what an alien would see. Think logically like Spock.

"When you pay 3.19$ for a box of Wheaties with Tiger Woods on the box, he gets a dime. The farmer that grew the wheat gets a nickel."

i see where you are coming from
but some people confront even the deepest darkest psychoses imaginable

there are actually people/beings/things that do not oppress or discriminate


and when it comes to the question of "how do you know you arent just convincing yourself and pulling the wool over your own eyes" etc

the remedy to that is to admit that it may be one of the possibilities


the universe isnt psychotic but it contains the potential for psychosis
we are the same way
the more you understand what it is, it becomes like a place you can visit from time to time
