To say just surviving in the wild is sane is an example. That is apples and oranges when we are discussing your hypothesis that all of us humans are crazy.

I think we can and do agree.

Against a baseline of survival (that survival the opposite of which in animals means death), sanity has its definition.

As humans move AWAY from that baseline, they enter a territory in which they have the luxury of living lives which are no longer on the razor's edge...and insanity as a livestyle becomes possible.

Because of a man who loves them--or parents who support and defend them from the baseline of nature--humanoids are able to move away from existential "reality"...

Let's start there.

OK. I assume we are saying that survival of the fittest is the norm in the wild but man has moved beyond that and must now deal with the various nuances of life.

However, where we will eventually have to go is defining that reality from which man is deviating. I am saying that each society, and even societies within a society, have their own particular norms and I am not even sure reality is a proper term for this discussion. Reality, to me, means corresponding to fact and that there is a definite truth to which one is referring. I don’t know if that is possible here.
