You say that as if it conflicts with what I’ve written, but it’s exactly my point. As soon as you accept that any of your thoughts are anything less than completely insane, then you’ve already accepted that you have some basic capacity for reason, and therefore accepted the assumption I describe. The traction you then describe getting is exactly the traction I describe as gained by accepting this assumption.
You can certainly consider insanity on a scale from 0 to 1, but in that case this assumption is just that not all of your thoughts are equal to 1 on that scale. As such it’s entirely a yes/no question, not a matter of degree.
