Nobody bothers observing what the difference between insanity and madness is.
Insane: a subjective observation you make about another, they clearly have a self-consistent reasoning process with a metric that you don’t share. But communication and cooperation is still possible. Aka Neurodivergent
Mad: an objective observation that someone is illogical, goes against established and observable evidence, may harm self or others, aka nut case
I don’t need to read your argument because I came to the exact same conclusion. I just don’t think madness or insanity are useful terms for understanding psychology, nor is making a distinction between the two really worth the effort.

I vehemently disagree. If the distinction is not established then neurodivergents will keep on being misdiagnosed and fed drugs that may or may not work for them.

bestie, wtf are you talking about?
Neurodivergence as a concept and how academic psychology perceives it. Everything is a disorder if it doesn’t fit the neurotypical mould.
