• You know what the definition of insanity is right?

    Yes:

    “unsoundness of mind or lack of the ability to understand that prevents someone from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or that releases someone from criminal or civil responsibility”

      No, it is doing something over and over expecting a different result (according to the late great psychologist Alfred Einstein MD who didn’t even say that).

      That’s interesting too though because it’s the definition of a factoid, which is an erroneous statement presented as fact because of broad repetition.

        Do people actually think that’s the real definition of insanity? I literally thought it was a bit and had no idea of who could have said it.
