Nobody in government will be in there. Elected or otherwise.

Especially in California.
MrCheezyPotato
I'm not sure Cali even has enough to justify building one of those
AskBobLoblaw
Can you imagine how peaceful it is in there? They'd never let me in but a girl can dream.
Sniper08
It'd be peaceful because it'd be empty
ManMashine
Yeah. No facebook, no twatter, no imgur and no other echochambers of easily offended SJWs who make me wish mankind gets nuked. *sigh*

No you build a house so that when you step in you're leaving the asylum. Which encompasses the whole world. Thanks for all the fish.
CitizenPrime
I'm starting to believe common sense and being sensible are actually not that common

Douglas Adams did the same thing with a building labeled 'Outside the Asylum' inverted so the inside of the house was outside.
chickenman702
We truly live in a society
8BitFish
Now son don't go near that house. They will make "sense" with their "normal" minds. Oh pass me the deathstar, I need to dribble the plumbus
Blackfinity
"Son"? Seems kind of gender-specific in these times.
8BitFish
Ok blackfinity
Blackfinity
It's part of the insanity, 8Bit.

Isn’t this in a Douglas Adams book?
AdultPersistentAngst
Is that where the movie of the same name comes from? Awesome movie.
DaceofAflen
Who runs it
Birchleaf
[People who agree with you] run it. [People who disagree with you] are excluded. Obviously.

sounds like california

Ugh

It's Wonko the Sane's house

But needs more furniture and wall paper on the outside...

Was gonna say this. Sad how few people remember him.

Sanity like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ones insanity another's sanity.

No one cares. Not even me.

Read that ursula k le guin short story...i think it was in the book compilation called compass rose?

I think the insane are just louder. They don't have us in numbers
FourLegsGood
Even if you say so yourself, eh?

Jerry Springer says only a few percent are batshit mental. In america that's still millions and millions of people.

It’s funny cause you’re loud.

"If you can't sing good, sing loud" may also apply to thought...
OngoGoblogianTheArtCollector
bold of you to assume you are sane

Steven054
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Jokes on you though, I can barely do
Steven054
Something once without giving up.
nortrom77
If majority of people is insane, the sane would be the insane instead
Kamica
Attributing what's wrong to "insanity" is easy, but also isn't really accurate, nor is it productive.
Wretchedlust
Let me in!!!
NeverMetAGoodMod
And what makes you think you'd be in there?

Where'd you get the picture of my house from?

today's world? how is today's world *so crazy* compared with yesterday's world (any era)?
KidKarless
I think its more that you can hear the insanity more in todays world than any other era due to the ease of access to mass communication
Camelspotting
Also because there should be less insanity for the same reason.
CascadianTwilight
It's not. Boomers think it is.
WherePoetryComesToDie
Not just boomers. People in general have difficulty accounting for perspective and the long term view.
ManMashine
Serious question: have you lived under a rock? Have you ever looked around and wonder WTF is wrong with this clownworld today?
McFluffySundae
30+ years ago you didn't hear about every little transgression that happened across the country. You heard local news and massive tregedies

Is it really crazier than, say, killing witches?
Jabardolas
Flat based, its not, but taking into account the different stages of human evolution and knowledge, I'd say its really damn crazy
KinetoPlay
If you 100% believed someone was an evil witch would you not want them dead? Burning witches is sane. Believing in witches is crazy.
KindofaBadPerson
Just people living in the moment.

Subscribed Reality. We have more information than ever before, but we're getting more and more caccooned in a bubble of what we want to see.

While Trump is an anomaly in US politics, he’s not so strange when we take the rest of the world in context.
Rhythmaster
politics mainly.. Shit is pretty crazy. After a period of relative peace and stability (after ww2) shit is starting to get more unstable now
YeahWellYouKnowThatsJustLikeUhYourOpinionMan
you do realize i hope that at one point in US history, US presidential candidates had a literal gun duel right? and it's crazy now?
Rhythmaster
I'm only 31 but I've seen a marked shift in politics, it's way different than it was 10 years ago. Citizen's United got the ball rolling...
JJ1013
There was tons of shit going on after WW2, the Western population was just shielded from most of it.
Rhythmaster
Yeah, I guess that's what I mean. The west enjoyed relative peace, prosperity and stability for a while. Democracy was working okay, etc.
Rhythmaster
I'm speaking about "these times" as they relate to the culture I grew up in. Of course crazy shit is always happening across the world
