Assumed sanity, like assumed consensus. When you speak or write with an unreconstructed posture of “well, I’m obviously sane” and use intensity of theatrical mocking incredulity to tag your opinion of the degree of insanity of what you’re responding to.

I think my main source of sanity in the last few years has been the operating assumption that I’m probably among the insane ones on almost everything I talk about, and that’s okay. Composure and well-groomed communicative affect are not the same as sanity.

The well-adjustedness = sanity fallacy. Frustrating clueless truth seekers since 1956. The only response is go deliberately insane in a very well-adjusted way. “Seeking truth” with unironic earnestness is best treated as an hobby that might sometimes pay off.
