Managing the Problem of Sanity

People are broadcasting sanity signals back and forth. It's like you're blasting signals at other people about how to regulate their behavior so frequently, well, it just makes up all of your social interaction. So partly what you're doing with your routine is establishing yourself as a credible, reliable, trustworthy, potentially interesting human being who isn't going to do anything too erratic at any moment. Everyone else is around there tapping you into shape making sure that that's exactly what you are and that's how you stay sane.
