When reality goes north and opinion goes south, getting further apart every day, then yes, I call that insanity.
And that’s more than just the present state of opinions. That’s arguably the core function of the present system. (not necessarily by design of course. That would probably be just paranoid).
Imagine a game of telephone. Where, a hundred exchanges down the chain, the chain twists upon itself, looping, conversation feeding upon recycled conversation, recursively. That’s where we are.
Except we’ve had this kind of brand of plutonium for hundreds of years. The concept of a widely distributed collection of knowledge dates back to the printing press. And believe it or not it was even more filled with utter bullshit than anything today. Remember when we thought diseases were caused by bad smells?

If that’s insanity then humans have been insane for thousands of years. People talking out their asses isn’t new at all
By that logic a little plutonium never hurt anybody. And you’d be quite right. But now we have a big hill of the refined stuff.
