This is something that really gets to me (even though I know I probably shouldn't let it. People use the words "crazy", "insane", "batty", "psycho", "nutty", etc... frequently and interchangeably. Not only that, but it is also often in a derogatory manner, even if jokingly. It makes me wonder what they really mean.
What is crazy? I mean, I am clinically psychotic and I know that if I lived in the 1920's, I would be locked up in an insane asylum, never to be heard from again. But I am NOT insane!
I am a perfectly autonomous agent with the ability to speak intelligently, rationalize, and make decisions.
But I'm also a psycho.
What the hell does that even mean?
