I know that this is cool "food for thought" once you start using drugs, but this conversation will go nowhere until everyone has agreed that there is a universal reality, and that insanity is a deviation from what the rest of us experience.
An agreed upon universal reality and deviation from it is what created the label of insanity...not the questioning or discussion of it. I believe it is quite the opposite. The questioning and discussion of it is exactly the most important part of this issue because we then see all the subjectivity involved in labeling.
