A lot of people say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. But it's that really the definition of insanity?
Or is it just a saying they people say because it sounds cool

I always thought that was a dumb saying. By that logic, rolling a dice is insane.

No. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and actually getting different results.

There are many different types of insanity, so many different definitions can apply.

It's more of a legal term rather than a medical one. It most commonly refers to an individual's inability to discern right from wrong or that their actions are right or wrong and thus shouldn't be held guilty.

People throw out this line every chance they get.

I wonder how frequently it actually advances the discussion instead of just being ignored.

It gets tossed around in substance abuse treatment circles a lot.

Highlights the point pretty well but it's not my favorite method.

Literally "I dunno, go ask your government."

I mean it is true, Insanity is not a psychology/medical type of word, it's legalese for "my client is not guilty because he has a disorder that made them unable to tell what's right or wrong."

its such a stupid quote lol

There are an absurd number of things that will produce different results if done the same way. Id say its way more insane to expect a dice to only role 3s than to expect a different result.

The definition of insanity is often misquoted as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. While this captures the essence of futile repetition, its not the formal definition of insanity. Consider how often we repeat actions in daily life, like turning a key in an ignition multiple times until the car starts. So yeah that is not insane.

In American law, insanity is a legal term that generally refers to a defendants inability to distinguish right from wrong at the time of a crime. Its important to note that the criteria for insanity vary from state to state.
