We are told there is only one kind of sanity, many kinds of insanity. False! There are many kinds of sanity, only 1 kind of insanity.

To believe an impossible thing, you have to change your operating sanity. This is a dual boot type thing, not a rational 'mind change'.

It is a good habit to believe in 6 impossible things before breakfast. Which means discovering six *new* sanities per day.

This is why refactoring relies on creative insight to boot into new sanity. A good insight is an entire new kind of sanity. A brain OS.
