Does anyone else get annoyed when someone says "The world has lost its mind?"
It irritates me and I can't fully explain why!
For a start, "the world" has no mind to lose, it is mindless. Secondly, what is universally considered to be madness, can sometimes be the truth. For example, that the earth is not the heavenly body around which all else revolves.
Many great discoveries were made by minds which were irritated by accepted "wisdom", such as the convoluted logic of phlogiston possessing negative weight. The upshot was the discovery of oxygen, carbon dioxidee, etc.
