Is sanity rational?
#7
RE: Is sanity rational?
So, self-preservation would be the goal and anything that helps to reach or maintain self-preservation is rational.

Maybe the question should have been posed like this: Is sanity reasonable? or, Do we judge sanity through reason or evolution?

I'm gonna get silly here for a minute. Taking an insane person from society and placing him on an island alone is the same as curing his mental illness with professional help.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
