@gattsuru "Insane" is a compact way of communicating "this person is acting outside the bounds of rational behavior toward me". -
@St_Rev Would you use term like that to describe mugger? Seems like weakest possible critique. -
@gattsuru What's irrational about mugging? -
@St_Rev Especially in a credit and debit society, the value of a stolen purse low compared to even low risk of months in jail or death. -
@gattsuru Unless risk is extremely low, or one assesses risk poorly (stupidity, not irrationality), or months in jail is a cultural asset. -
@St_Rev Are we using a broad or tight definition of rational? Because I can come up with values or stupidity to explain Shanely, too. -
@gattsuru I confess I've lost track of the question. -
@St_Rev sorry. To top, my objection w/ Dickenson's description wasn't sacredness of 'insane', but low utility for appearance of status.
