I've been thinking, and I now thing the definition of insane is someone who holds an alternate reality to the mainstream concept of reality. One can only learn about the world through perception, so if someone else perceives something in a different way we cannot say that there reality is wrong, only...different.
I disagree - we can learn about the world through the physical (perception) and the metaphysical... with an understanding of patterns, logic, math, and other metaphysics, we can interpret what we perceive and understand the world to a much deeper level.
One of the stock questions used to explore a person's grip on reality is 'can you control the weather?" ... people who say they can are tested, and in the unlikely case that they actually can control the weather, they are shipped off to illuminati controlled institutions, where their talents are harnessed. Just kidding!
