Two Important Questions

[Doktor Howl]

Why are you all assuming that I'm pretending to be mentally ill?  I made no such claim.  I merely claimed to be insane.  Until you know how I define "sanity" (and thus "insanity") there's a 105% chances (with a 4% margin of error) that you are misunderstanding me.

No it doesn't get me a lot  of poontang, but it does get me tangspoon which is pretty much the same thing and tastes much better imho.

Until you explain what meaning you have assigned to words that already have meanings, we kind of have to operate on the original meaning of the word.

:looks at list: doesnt mean or need actual definition of word.... Ah yes.

Well then I shall pretend you asked me how I define sanity!  I (currently) define sanity as follows: having contact reality.  Thus insanity would be loss of contact reality.  And while I have a long ways to go before I completely loose touch with reality I consider myself more insane than most.

So when you step off a 7 story building how soon before you recontact reality?

There doesn't seem to be any communication going on here.

Enjoy.

What process, event, or events has caused/is causing you to lose contact reality?  Self-inflicted?  Environmental?  Chemical imbalances?

Well if I am to believe those damned physicists (assuming 7 stories is approximately 50 meters) I'd guess about 3.2 seconds.

What process, event, or events has caused/is causing you to lose contact reality?  Self-inflicted?  Environmental?  Chemical imbalances? 

I assume self-inflicted.  Reality is so ... limiting

[AFK]

How can you be sure that your self-inflicted "insanity" isn't just another flavor of reality? 

[NewSpag]

I can't and it probably is.  So what?

[AFK]

Just trying to understand how it is you are defining your "insanity".

Okay, I'll bite.  In what way, without any flowery language, metaphors, or similies, or any other "Saying one thing to illustrate another, or to sound deep and like it was an enlightening experience," have you lost contact with reality?

On the far to rare occasion that I get my grubby hands on some psychedelics.  Every time I take a trip I come back a little less sane

There's 7-8 Billion monkey-ants running around this giant blue space rock.  Many of them have computers. 

Chances are a lot better that it's just another "insane" weirdo.

I seem to remember a conversation between Rog, Nigel, LMNO and myself wherein we/LMNO elucidated the concept that it's all well and good to toy with the novelty of being "insane" but that shit suddenly loses its fun as soon as you find yourself in the bed-shitting throes of finding out what real crazy is.

See, people here have actually gone insane.  You know, the kind where you think your loved ones are trying to kill you, hearing voices that aren't there, getting gripped by crippling and seemingly endless depression.  It isn't fun or funny, so that's why nobody is impressed.

And for the record, that's what I assumed you meant when you said you'd gone insane.
