No, I think I understand what you're saying. Of course, the problem lies in the fact that it is nigh impossible to understand someone who operates under a completely different logic than your own, even if it makes perfect sense to themselves.

What I'm trying to say is, to us 2+2 always equals 4. But if to an other person their brain is so warped that to them 2+2 perfectly equals 5, then we won't be able to grasp that reasoning no matter how hard we try. And sometimes labelling someone like that "insane" is not just the easier option, but the only one as well. I mean, what else would you do? It would be just as impossible for them to understand what we're saying as the other way around. Therefore it would be almost impossible for someone like that to function in our society.

Of course, maybe that person is the only sane one. Maybe we operate under a different logic than the rest of the universe. But the thing is, to me sane is what the majority thinks like and insane is what the minority thinks like.

However, should be ever encounter several alien species who are all operating under 2+2 = 5 logic and we are the only ones who don't, then perhaps it really is time for us to reimagine who is insane and who isn't. But until then, to me, sane is what I and the majority of humanity is. Though I might be less sane (or maybe more so) than the average person.
