Ingenuity versus Insanity

The fuzzy continuum. There aren't enough words with two 'U's in a row, are there? But never mind.

I think the world is filled with a great many stuffy people who don't understand the distinction between these two concepts (they think it is ALL insane and cling to their never-changing (WRONG) world view). And a great many MORE so afraid of being labeled with the latter that they never try to access the former in their inner self.

But you see, I think we ALL have domains of ingenuity. We all can tap something nobody else can get at that is BRILLIANT.

And if you are REALLY determined, you can try to pass off your INSANITY as INGENUITY. In fact some might even call that a business plan *cough*


You see, I figure by CALLING myself insane all the time, you will all see I have moments of lucidity and assume I'm just saying that, right? You'll assume some underlying ingenuity. You see what I'm doing there?

“Oh, no! Hart made a lot of sense last Thursday” (which I didn't, by the way—I was a full on lunatic, but Saturday I actually made some sense)--then you will argue that I fall on the ingenius side of the spectrum! I've tricked YOU into doing the work for me! Erm... or not.

But seriously, all geniuses are accused of insanity by the people holding onto the status quo.

“It's a particle.”
“It's a wave.”
“It's BOTH, depending on how you measure it.”


“Are you INSANE? It can't be BOTH?”

Ah, but fine friends... it IS. It had just not yet had the benefit of the test of time. So if you all buy into everything I say NOW, you will eventually either be seen as profits or nuts. But at least nuts have fun.

Are you willing to risk being accused of insanity in order to pursue your inner ingenuity?
