'''Insanity''' means [[madness]], or a [[mental disorder]] or severde [[mental illness]]. It can be used metaphorically to refer to the extreme stupidity or unworkability of ideas without necessarily implying that the proposer suffers literally from insanity.  For example, "the insanity of [[liberal]] tax-and-spend proposals."

'''Insanity''' refers to being afflicted by a [[mental disorder]] or severde [[mental illness]]. [[Madness]] is an outdated term meaning the same. It can be used metaphorically to refer to the extreme stupidity or unworkability of ideas without necessarily implying that the proposer suffers literally from insanity.  For example, "the insanity of [[liberal]] tax-and-spend proposals."
