Roughly speaking, its not being in a state where your thought processes cause severe discomfort/stress in your life or debilitating interactions with others of your species.

sanity is complete objective control of the current of thought (stream of conciousness)

Based on my first-hand study of someone with severe schizophrenia, I'd say sanity is the ability to differentiate delusions from reality or rather, having the full ability to choose what you believe and/or hold as fact. The aforementioned person I know cannot choose what he believes but instead he's forced to believe his delusions without  the involvement of logical analysis.

What do you mean by "objective control", and how does it differ from subjective control?

Some schizophrenics have full control of their delusions, and form them via logical analysis--would you say such people are sane?

The delusions themselves are brought on by the insanity. The analysis involved only seems logical to the schizophrenic, who has absolutely no concept of reality, in severe cases. To anyone else, there is no logic involved whatsoever. No severe schizophrenic has control over his or her delusions without medication. Less severe schizophrenia exhibits similar characteristics to severe schizophrenia but obviously it doesn't have as powerful of an effect on the person's logic and reasoning. Therefore, they can differentiate delusion from reality more easily.

    #13746794 - 01/07/11 10:40 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

So the logical perspective of someone who is insane is not reality?

There's no such thing as a "logical perspective" from an unmedicated severe schizophrenic. Just because it seems logical to them doesn't mean it's actually true.

So you're saying it's impossible for a severe schizophrenic who doesn't take medication to have a logical perspective on something? I guess you've never seen the movie A Beautiful Mind...

It also doesn't mean that it's not true.

So because he was good at math, his perspective must have been logical?  I dont buy it.

His understanding of mathematics certainly was logical; I'm not saying that absolutely all of his perspectives were logical.

His understanding of mathematics is irrelevant to being sane or insane.  His logical perspectives are relevant, and his perspectives were quite illogical.

But it's not irrelevant to whether or not he is able to logically perceive at least some things.

Sure, some of his perspectives were quite illogical,  but that's not to say that absolutely all of them were.

Whether or not 'absolutely all of them were' is also irrelevant.  One logical and grounded perspective does not a sane person make.

That wasn't my point, though, I was just rebutting Space Elf's claim that "There's no such thing as a "logical perspective" from an unmedicated severe schizophrenic"; since John Nash was a severe schizophrenic who was able to hold a logical perspective on something, that claim is false.

sanity is a healthful resilience to help ride life, emotion. and changes.
this applies regardless of your genetic or financial disposition and family history.
