sanity
« on: September 26, 2008, 05:52:08 AM »
Ever really look at the world and those around you and wonder how we ever got so far, I mean most people are beyond dull and fall into the stupid range,   Or propensity for violence is an other thing that must be considered.  I meet very few truly sane people and at times wonder how this all works out.   I don't consider myself sane by any standard just practical I do what needs to be done but so many need coddling it's amazing we have survived so long as a species,  Well so much for my rant anyone disagree all thoughts considered and welcome

It only takes a few geniuses to make the breakthroughs and a small number of entrepreneurs to allocate resources to where they're most in demand; the rest of the population just needs to follow orders and apply whatever training they've received.  It's not a perfect system, but the species outbreeds calamities such as insane genocidal leaders, gross mismanagement of food production, the destruction of natural resources and the general stupidity and violence of the population as a whole.

The only reason we as a species have done as well as we have, is because we have the amazing ability to stand on the shoulders of giants as Newton said...

We're the drops of rain that fill an ocean.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

Interesting that you mix morality with the question of mental health- I think a lot of people like to pretend they're entirely seperate constucts (political correctness?), but they aren't.  They're not the same thing, of course, (this is assuming they both 'exist') but there's a fuck of a lot of overlap.  Sanity is a subjective state of being that is loosely/mostly defined by the people who have the authority to do so (I used to think 'the majority' when I was more naive).  Calling an action/thought/person/group of people/type of person insane is a way to dismiss them, oppress them, subordinate them, have and maintain power over them.  Considering oneself to be perfectly rational and sane in every way serves much the same purpose, with the added bonus of self-justification.

I'm gonna throw in two quotes here I'm rather fond of on this topic, one from a (bad, according to the intellectual elite) movie and one from a (silly? girly? overplayed?) musical, but both with fabulously good points.  If you dismiss them mainly/solely because they come from sources you don't like, you add to my point.  I just think they're worded better than I can/could.

"There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities, and so we act as though they don't exist."  -Wicked
