To stay with the metaphor, I think the ocean is really big and raising the waterline is a waste of time relative to making fountains in key places.
That's an interesting point. How do you think games could help create "fountains"?
Edit: Actually, a more relevant question is "Why fountains?" And "What exactly do you mean by them?"
Fountains for raising the sanity waterline in specific places where there'll be a greater impact.
That makes sense, but I don't know where the specific places are. I could make a guess or two. Either way, I love making games, so this is the path I'm taking, but I'll agree that if you want to maximize rationality, a wide-spread approach might not be the best thing (more research needed).
