It is an aspect of mental health, and health is objective, not relative.
That's a highly contentious issue that could be its own topic. I would want to argue with you, but I'd find myself arguing against you. It's definitely not as clear cut as that.

:
That's how we define IQ, not sanity. "Sanity" is not a synonym of "normal". It is an aspect of mental health, and health is objective, not relative. If that were the case, the whole of the human race could contract smallpox and be considered healthy.
If mental health was objective, why does the APA DSM change significantly between each revision?

I know the answer to that one! It's because clinical psychiatry is terminally out of touch with current psychology research.

Doctors and researchers have never been immune to the prejudices of their time, so later work has to undo the damage and find out the truth.


In unrelated news, I can just as easily participate in the ruination of Jewish culture as I can that of Christianity:

I think the Universe loves us really. We've gone a whole 65 million years without a mass extinction event. Well, we kind of are a mass extinction event but still...

65 million years is such a small amount of time for a universe, though.

Sometimes I'm genuinely curious what things are going to look like a millennium from now but I would never want to live that long even if given the chance and when I reflect really hard on it I'm way more interested in the present than the future.

I think a lot of the people want to see what the future is like because they feel the present is shit. I'm definitely one of those people sometimes because I tend to wish days and weeks of my life away. It's kinda sad really.

But then I remember the Universe loves me and all is well.

K/T was the most recent of the Big Five biotic crises. There have been other, lesser ones. Besides the current anthropogenic one, the most recent was the Pliocene–Pleistocene boundary marine extinction two million years ago. It is thought to have been caused by a local supernova, seriously damaging the ozone layer and seeding the crust with Iron-60.

Feel that love.

We are still alive, in the same way that when you wipe down a surface with an antibacterial cleaner that claims to kill 99.9% of all germs, some bacteria on that surface will also still be alive.

you're all sadly fucking misteaken anyway, myself included. bipedal flesh-frames, trying to make sense of a universe that dictates they're entirely composed of meat. when we're all dead and gone from this grubby physical plain of existence and transcend/revert into a metaphysical realm that becomes all the more terrifying the longer we realize we understand nothing about it, we will then begin to learn the true nature and point to our existence. or maybe that place will just be another stepping stone somewhere else. either way, we are all Beelzebub's bastard children, whether we accept it or not, and he will accept it. oh he'll accept the shit out of you. mmmmmmmmmmm

also this is relative:
