What Is Digital Insanity
Insanity of majority of persons in society
Virtual Insanity Lyrics: Oh yeah / What we're living in / Let me tell ya / And it's a wonder man can eat at all / When things are big that should be small / Who can tell what magic spells we'll be. Insanity in individuals is something rare—but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule Friedrich Nietzsche1 Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow2 The simplest definition of insanity is, “Extreme foolishness; total folly.”3 At first glance, Nietzsche’s dictum seems bizarre: Is extreme foolishness and total folly really the.
Introduction
The term “insanity” is believed by many to only apply to those in mental asylums or the clinically depressed. However, the sad truth is that majority of persons in the society today have different grades of insanity or at least one of several types of insanity at various points of time. While the insane persons in mental asylums and clinically depressed are harmless to fellow human beings, the REAL DANGER of insanity is because of persons OUTSIDE the mental asylums and wrongly presumed to be very sane/intelligent/strong/powerful.The root cause of insanity in human beings is the reduction of DIVINITY; Divinity lies not in worship or prayer, but in adhering to Honesty & Justice (Honesty and Justice is God). The reduction of the aforesaid divinity in human beings is due to the existence of unjustifiable desire and/or unjustifiable fear . The basic cure for the disease of insanity is the REALISATION (a) that the life of each and every person is not permanent but only for an inevitably limited period of a few years, and (b) that the very purpose of human birth and the essential prerequisite for healthy existence of a happy individual and a happy society is the trait of HELPING OTHERS, in the order of family members, near and dear, and then the other human beings in the society/country/world.
Insanity: Human Beings v. Animals
HUMAN BEINGS alone have the special characteristic of laughter, and similarly, a special and SERIOUS DISEASE OF INSANITY is also peculiar only to human beings. All creatures of God in this universe have two natural characteristics, one is hunger at all ages right from birth to death and the other is sexual desire at certain specific physical/mental/environmental levels in life. Unlike other animals in this universe, human beings ALONE are vulnerable to the DANGEROUS disease of insanity AT ALL TIMES OF LIFE except during times when the mind is filled with DIVINITY . Human beings, inspite of superior knowledge gifted by God, often behave worse than animals in many situations of life because of the disease of insanity. For example, many human beings are dishonest many times violating the principle of honesty as per the law of nature while animals are always honest and act as per the law of nature. Human beings alone are egoistic and want to possess/accumulate money and power to the detriment of fellow human beings whereas animals are not at all egoistic and do not hoard/accumulate anything to the detriment of anybody. Human beings alone resort to crimes like criminal conspiracy/stabbing at the back/breach of trust/cheating/dishonesty and cunning acts of omission and commission and violate the principles of honesty and justice whereas animals are always honest and act in accordance with the law of nature. Further, though some animals just kill other specific animals to satisfy their hunger, even that killing is acceptable to God since it is in accordance with the rules of nature prescribed by God. BUT many human beings VIOLATE THE LAW OF NATURE prescribed by God AND MISUSE THE SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE AND POWER GIFTED BY GOD, to commit heartless crimes such as murder, illegal arrests, corruption, wrongful governance of family and society, adulteration of food, spurious medicines, cruelties of many varieties to fellow human beings, disloyalties, suicides, wounding other human beings mentally and physically, etc. and resort to numerous types of wrongs such as hoarding, wastage of food, wastage of time/laziness, dereliction of duty of various kinds by persons with power and responsibility, including failure to take appropriate policy decisions to reduce the serious evils/crimes in society, etc. thereby putting many fellow human beings to unnecessary sufferings and cause havoc in the society forgetting the dictates of God that human birth is superior than animals and God expects human beings to do laudable things for the betterment of society by helping others to the maximum extent possible and human birth is NOT meant for committing wrongs/crimes against fellow human beings.Root cause of Insanity
The sole cause of insanity in human beings is absence of divinity in the mind. Many a human being fails to use the superior knowledge gifted by God, and fails to inculcate divinity in the mind and resorts to wrongful words and deeds (acts of omission and commission) because of insanity in mind. Divinity and insanity are two distinct and mutually exclusive states of mind in human beings in that when divinity occupies the mind of a human being, insanity cannot enter the mind, and insanity invariably occupies the mind whenever divinity is absent. So all human beings should aim at filling divinity in their mind at all times or at least in their words and deeds (acts of omission and commission) and free themselves from insanity. A human being can fill divinity in the mind only when his/her words and deeds are in accordance with the principle “Honesty & Justice is God” and when he/she is satisfied that his/her life in this world is ONLY TO HELP OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. It is unfortunate that at present majority of human beings are having MANY varieties of insanity in various degrees or percentages BECAUSE OF THEIR IGNORANCE of the fact that helping others is the basic purpose of life besides giving the utmost happiness in this world and no other happiness in this world is more superior than helping others,viz. first helping the family members to the desired level and then helping others in the society in the best possible manner.Two serious problems UNIQUE to the disease of insanity in human beings are that (1) it won’t be known to the persons having that disease and (2) even worse, the person having the disease of insanity will strongly believe that ONLY OTHERS have that disease. For example, one who does not believe in helping others or not believing in doing charity out of own funds will believe that the persons who help others and do charity out of own funds are insane. Similarly persons who aim at SO CALLED SUCCESS in life by hook or crook will classify other persons who adhere to the principle of honesty and justice even in difficult times, as insane. Likewise, a person who is proud of being unreasonably luxurious will foolishly think as if a person like Gandhi / Budha / Ramalinga Adigal and ever so many unknown persons in this world who are simple and principled are insane. Likewise, there are ever so many examples to identify the varieties of insanity and various percentages of insanity in human beings at various stages of life and at different situations. A child is sane at all times and the words and deeds of a child will only be “childish” but sane, because of the fact that God is very close to a child. But only a man/woman who distances himself/herself from God and fails to understand God and world life in the proper perspective, thinks wrongly/foolishly/insanely as if he/she is intelligent/strong/rich/powerful and thus resorts to insane words and deeds (acts of omission and commission) without understanding that he/she is suffering from a dangerous UNDETECTED/UNDECLARED INSANITY.
Symptoms of widespread insanity in today’s society
The alarming nature of the worst disease of humanity viz. INSANITY OF MAJORITY OF HUMAN BEINGS is evident from several disturbing trends in today’s society/world, viz.In a nutshell, it can be said that serious and DANGEROUS levels of INSANITY is prevalent among those who FOOLISHLY think thatthey are very intelligent/powerful/strong and can succeed in their words and deeds (acts of omission and commission) even if they are acting against the principles of honesty and justice (and thus against the liking of the God). Such persons should, in their own interest, apply the principle that everything in any human being is given by GOD be it intelligence/ money/strength/power and that HISTORY has proved repeatedly that God is Supreme and God is capable of and in fact many times illustrated that HE CAN take back intelligence, money, strength, or power from any HUMAN BEING AT ANY TIME if HE finds that those GIFTS OF GOD ARE MISUSED TO THE DISLIKE OF GOD.
How to cure / get rid of insanity
To get rid of the insanity which manifests in several forms in today’s society as described above, all human beings should think that every human being is vested with one or the other powers and NOBODY ON EARTH IS SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR IN ANY ANGLE and that everybody is EQUAL BEFORE GOD AND LAW and entitled to live in this world peacefully/happily/reasonably well and everybody in this world, in his/her own interest, should try to please God in the best manner possible by ensuring that his/her words and deeds (acts of omission and commission) are NOT motivated by selfish/emotional considerations and EVERYBODY MUST always ensure that WORDS AND DEEDS (acts of omission and commission) should be guided on the combined principles of honesty/necessity/reasonableness believing sincerely that HONESTY & JUSTICE IS GOD.Another cure to the disease of insanity is the REALIZATION that HELPING OTHERS IS THE basic purpose of life besides being the happiest thing in this world and no other happiness in this world is more superior than helping others, viz. first helping the family members to the desired level and then helping others in the society in the best possible manner.
(This article is aimed at first elucidating, and then, hopefully curing the insanity of human beings of this universe to the extent possible. The author intends to incorporate new ideas/thoughts in this article and taking into account the complexity of the subject matter, this article will be revised with more information/thoughts in due course and hence ….. to be continued.)

Insanity, madness, and craziness are terms that describe a spectrum of individual and group behaviors that are characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity can be manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person or persons becoming a danger to themselves or to other people. Conceptually, mental insanity also is associated with the biological phenomenon of contagion (that mental illness is infectious) as in the case of copycat suicides. In contemporary usage, the term insanity is an informal, un-scientific term denoting 'mental instability'; thus, the term insanity defense is the legal definition of mental instability. In medicine, the general term psychosis is used to include the presence either of delusions or of hallucinations or both in a patient;[1] and psychiatric illness is 'psychopathology', not mental insanity.[2]
In English, the word 'sane' derives from the Latin adjective sanus meaning 'healthy'. Juvenal's phrase mens sana in corpore sano is often translated to mean a 'healthy mind in a healthy body'. From this perspective, insanity can be considered as poor health of the mind, not necessarily of the brain as an organ (although that can affect mental health), but rather refers to defective function of mental processes such as reasoning. Another Latin phrase related to our current concept of sanity is 'compos mentis' (lit. 'sound of mind'), and a euphemistic term for insanity is 'non compos mentis'. In law, mens rea means having had criminal intent, or a guilty mind, when the act (actus reus) was committed.
A more informal use of the term insanity is to denote something or someone considered highly unique, passionate or extreme, including in a positive sense. The term may also be used as an attempt to discredit or criticize particular ideas, beliefs, principles, desires, personal feelings, attitudes, or their proponents, such as in politics and religion.
Historical views and treatment
Madness, the non-legal word for insanity, has been recognized throughout history in every known society. Some traditional cultures have turned to witch doctors or shamans to apply magic, herbal mixtures, or folk medicine to rid deranged persons of evil spirits or bizarre behavior, for example.[3] Archaeologists have unearthed skulls (at least 7000 years old) that have small, round holes bored in them using flint tools. It has been conjectured that the subjects may have been thought to have been possessed by spirits which the holes would allow to escape.[4] However, more recent research on the historical practice of trepanning supports the hypothesis that this procedure was medical in nature and intended as means of treating cranial trauma.[5]
Ancient Greece
The Greeks appeared to share something of today's[when?][where?] secular and holistic view, believing that afflictions of the mind did not differ from diseases of the body. Moreover, they saw mental and physical illness as a result of natural causes and an imbalance in bodily humors. Hippocrates frequently wrote that an excess of black bile resulted in irrational thinking and behavior.[6]
Ancient Rome
Romans made other contributions to psychiatry, in particular a precursor of some contemporary practice.[which?] They put forward the idea that strong emotions could lead to bodily ailments, the basis of today's theory of psychosomatic illness. The Romans also supported humane treatment of the mentally ill, and in so doing codified into law the principle of insanity as a mitigation of responsibility for criminal acts,[7] although the criterion for insanity was sharply set as the defendant had to be found 'non compos mentis', a term meaning 'not sound of mind'.[8]
From the Middle Ages onwards
The Middle Ages, however, witnessed the end of the progressive ideas of the Greeks and Romans.[clarification needed]

During the 18th century, the French and the British introduced humane treatment of the clinically insane,[9] though the criteria for diagnosis and placement in an asylum were considerably looser than today, often including such conditions as speech disorder, speech impediments, epilepsy, and depression or being pregnant out of wedlock.
Europe's oldest asylum was the precursor of today's Bethlem Royal Hospital in London, known then as Bedlam, which began admitting the mentally ill in 1403 and is mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The first American asylum was built in Williamsburg, Virginia, circa 1773. Before the 19th century these hospitals were used to isolate the mentally ill or the socially ostracized from society rather than cure them or maintain their health. Pictures from this era portrayed patients bound with rope or chains, often to beds or walls, or restrained in straitjackets.
In medicine
Insanity is no longer considered a medical diagnosis but is a legal term in the United States, stemming from its original use in common law.[10] The disorders formerly encompassed by the term covered a wide range of mental disorders now diagnosed as bipolar disorder, organic brain syndromes, schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders.[1]
Legal use of the term
In United States criminal law, insanity may serve as an affirmative defense to criminal acts and thus does not need to negate an element of the prosecution's case such as general or specific intent.[11] Each U.S. state differs somewhat in its definition of insanity but most follow the guidelines of the Model Penal Code. All jurisdictions require a sanity evaluation to address the question first of whether or not the defendant has a mental illness.
Most courts accept a major mental illness such as psychosis but will not accept the diagnosis of a personality disorder for the purposes of an insanity defense. The second question is whether the mental illness interfered with the defendant's ability to distinguish right from wrong. That is, did the defendant know that the alleged behavior was against the law at the time the offense was committed.
Additionally, some jurisdictions add the question of whether or not the defendant was in control of their behavior at the time of the offense. For example, if the defendant was compelled by some aspect of their mental illness to commit the illegal act, the defendant could be evaluated as not in control of their behavior at the time of the offense.
The forensic mental health specialists submit their evaluations to the court. Since the question of sanity or insanity is a legal question and not a medical one, the judge and or jury will make the final decision regarding the defendant's status regarding an insanity defense.[12][13]
In most jurisdictions within the United States, if the insanity plea is accepted, the defendant is committed to a psychiatric institution for at least 60 days for further evaluation, and then reevaluated at least yearly after that.
Insanity is generally no defense in a civil lawsuit. However, in civil cases, the insanity of the plaintiff can toll the statute of limitations for filing a suit until the plaintiff has recovered from this condition, or until a statute of repose has run.
Feigned insanity
Feigned insanity is the simulation of mental illness in order to deceive. Amongst other purposes, insanity is feigned in order to avoid or lessen the consequences of a confrontation or conviction for an alleged crime. A number of treatises on medical jurisprudence were written during the nineteenth century, the most famous of which was Isaac Ray in 1838 (fifth edition 1871); others include Ryan (1832), Taylor (1845), Wharton and Stille (1855), Ordronaux (1869), Meymott (1882). The typical techniques as outlined in these works are the background for Dr. Neil S. Kaye's widely recognized guidelines that indicate an attempt to feign insanity.[14]
One particularly famous example of someone feigning insanity was the case of Mafia boss Vincent Gigante, who pretended for years to be suffering from dementia, and was often seen wandering aimlessly around his neighborhood in his pajamas muttering to himself. However, testimony from informants and surveillance showed that Gigante was in full control of his faculties the whole time, and ruled over his Mafia family with an iron fist.[15]
Today feigned insanity is considered malingering. In a 2005 court case, United States v. Binion, the defendant was prosecuted and convicted for obstruction of justice (adding to his original sentence) because he feigned insanity in a Competency to Stand Trial evaluation.
Other uses
In modern times, labeling someone as insane often carries little or no medical meaning and is rather used as an insult or as a reaction to someone doing something crazy. The following quote defining insanity is often used: 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.'[16]
