On natural human insanity.

'Insanity' is such a relative term. 50 years ago running for the sake of fitness would have been considered pretty insane. Now I can't walk for 15 minutes between my house and campus without having at least two near-misses with deliriously exhausted joggers who apparently are blind to everything except cars and cyclists. Clearly the whole idea of craziness is rooted in the zeitgeist of the time and place you find yourself in. This makes me feel a little better whenever I find myself thinking, "What I am doing is batshit insane". Hey, it might be, but that isn't always necessarily a bad thing.
