People like to Go Crazy

This certainly applies to me - I have been crazy all my life. And I have just realized this is a common condition.

People can solve the little problems of their lives, but not the big ones. And don't seem to want to, because going crazy (for any reason whatsoever) is so pleasurable, and socially acceptable.

How can you tell when a person, or group of persons, is acting crazy? Mental health professionals have trouble defining the many kinds of mental illness, and curing them, so how can anyone  else?

The answer is simple - the ability to judge the sanity of other people is one of our intuitive skills - without which we could not have survived, as a species.

If this skill degenerates (as it has, recently) we are in big trouble.
