We are all InSaNe

Thant you. Definitions: Blue's argument that sanity is not a s coherent an abstraction as perfection is ludicrous. In the same way that we can identify or imagine perfection the idea of what is sane is perfectly imaginable. Sanity can be defined as being free of all societal influences as well as personal hindrance. A sane human wold be one free of emotional hindrance and perfectly logical in all actions. To be sane is unattainable to humans, but the ideal or idea of what sanity means is perfectly alive. A computer can be seen as sane as it is free of social influence,emotional hindrance, metal problems and so fourth. My opponent makes a good point in stating that humans tend to blame others for their mistakes. In a way, this really does not answer the question. Whether you blame your short comings on others or exaggerate the truth, your mind is still telling you lies. The typical or rather most accurate answer would be to encourage yourself to study harder or actually realize that you did not study as hard as you could have. In both my scenario and my opponents scenario, the mind is still lying to the individual. Blue failed to prove or even argue that lying to yourself does not result to insanity. I agree that the mind serves as a rational; however the term "Sometimes" still play a major role. The truth is that our mind has lied to us or rather we have lied to ourselves many times. His cavemen scenario is also flaws as who is to say that the caveman is not desirable. it could mean that his approach was foul, primitive, or jst plain off. Rather than identifying this as the real problem, the "little voice n his head"(insanity) lies to him and tries to bring about depression with lies explained by blue in his scenario. If he was indeed "ugly" then his mind should have told hi so as surely he would have seen his reflection in the water a long time ago. Rather than simply telling him the truth, his mind led him to believe that he was in a way desirable whih ones again led to disappointment. "Scenario B: if a caveman tries to hunt a wolf, gets in a tussle, and loses, then his mind tells him: "you're not strong enough to kill a wolf." This maximizes his survival chances and thus his chances of passing on his genes." I agree with this scenario because it has nothing to do with sanity....its a matter of instinct...I see no connection between the scenario and this resolution. "Wierdman even acknowledges this when he says that when we are honest with ourselves, we are able to disengage from unattainable goals." Please note that this only occurs when we are honest with ourselves. The argument here is that we are dihonest with ourselves and as such course unintentional harm. Clinical depression: Ones again abstract comparison "The first problem with his argument is that many changes in emotional state are precipitated by outside events." I agree with this statement; however our inability to control our emotion is what leads to insanity. While they are affected by outside forces, our inability to control the emotions is an internal affairs. Pondering future: My opponent fails to recognize that while this is not extreme, it is insanity at a much lower level. I mentioned that inanity existed in different levels. The rest I will post in the comment section due to time :D thank you :D
