If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

A few years ago I had a bizarre nervous breakdown cause I'd heard so much bull****. One minor but bizarre consequence of this was when I fell for a girl I really trusted I started to value words with a psychotic quasi-religious fervour. I spent a long time programming my computers auto-text (you type say "LOL" and out comes "laughing out loud" for instance) in order to speed up my essay writting and also to allow me to standardise my vocabulary because I believed that I could improve the strength of my memory and associations through repeatedly using the same words rather than synonyms. This also forced me to prioritise my use of words and think about the range of meanings that I was likely to wish to portray. A friend of mine joked that I should add the text "Archetypal apocalypse in which no more than two extra terrestrials are hurt" which was abbreviated as aatetah or something and promptly added. Nuts huh? Gaga if you ask me, but there's nothing like a good breakdown helps you value your sanity!

What if I was never sane? How would anyone know if they were mad? If they were really mad perhaps they would think they were sane? When I was mad I knew damn well I mad but was pretty sure that sanity involved taking on advantagous forms of ignorance to protect ones own feelings of self-worth. Hence I considered myself to be mad and enlightened and many others to be sane and wrong. Frankly being mad was much more interesting than being sane (which I think I am now) but I wouldn't want to try it again, it's too damaging to interpersonal relationships.

Insanity is nothing more than a minority of one.

it is likely both. In george orwell's book 1984, O'Brian tells Winston "You are a minority of one. " Then i think he says he is insane a few lines before that, if im not mistaken.

Well they're both one off so should we take their words for it? They're mad after all!

Sorry! Joseph Heller and George Orwell are one offs so by their definitions they must be mad. For this reason we shouldn't trust their assertion that being a minority makes them mad because if they are mad this madness will effect their judgement. If they're right they're wrong and if they're wrong their right. There. clear as mud still?

If a Roman tells you that all Romans are liars, do you believe him?
