sanity is relative to your environment just like being smart.
smart being truly defined would be someone who is adaptive and observant.
sanity would be the threshold where you fit in with society.
I am sure if you get someone from a 3rd world country and put him in the US he would be considered insane, but normal where he is originally from. |

no, he would not seem insane. Strange, barbaric, ill adapted. But not insane.

| Lol, something about their culture doesn't believe in the sewage system. At first I thought it was a joke. It was at least nice of them to wrap it in toilet paper before they threw it in the trash..... |

Reality is relative. |
We had a related discussion about the nature of reality in a recent thread, as a tangent on the relationship between determinism and free will.
