Sane, Insane, or Both



Here's a weird scenario.

You know how in movies when someone is losing their marbles, and to see if they have any marbles left in their marble bag, the psychiatrist asks them, "Who is the current President of the United States?"

And you have to pick the right President, or you're locked in the loony bin for life.

Today, in order to appear sane, you have to answer, "The President of the United States is Donald Trump."

To be sane, that's the correct answer. Yet the fact that he's President is insane. You've said something both sane and insane.

So in a way you are both sane and insane at the same time. So is the world.

That's weird.
