I keep looking it up, but it always says the same thing.

Well played. Thank you sir.

I keep looking it up, but it always says the same thing.

We understand and communicate with each other through language, which, even with its subtleties, requires us to use the same words and phrases again, and again and again -yet we do not consider ourselves insane. It is when someone, affected by some psychosis acts against the sameness that has become convention in society, that a crime can be committed: a drunk driving a car he cannot control; a man with a gun in a rage, or convinced without reason he is being mortally threatened and pulls the trigger; the person hearing voices telling him to 'kill that man'.

Science is wary of defining insanity, but the colloquial term -'you must be crazy to think repeating that experiment will change anything' could be the key to the obscure quote attributed to Einstein. Rather, science prefers that moment of revelation, or accident when the paradigm -the constant repetition of the known- is shifted and through the positing of a different question a different outcome is observed that enables science to change, even if over time the new 'known' may itself be liable to change. In consciousness, Hegel called this aufheben, or the moment when consciousness rejects one form of a something (das dinge) for another thing that contains something new and thus becomes a dynamic part of the evolution of the mind.

Madness or insanity may not be a condition but a temporary disturbance, its cause may be depression, grief, or even love. One of the best descriptions is thus not of repetition but the absurd -

Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

(Rhapsody on a Windy Night, TS ELiot).

I took a perfect 3 lb. shit this morning. Felt great...clean ass after just a few wipes and no trace left on the porcelain after one flush. Great way to begin a day.

It might be easier to just weigh yourself before and after

The human brain weighs 3 lbs, maybe your eyes saw your mind in the toilet and presumed it was waste.

Excuse me, Fred, I'm going to go call my Mother and apologize for wasting all her money on that college tuition.
