Perfectly good word: "ignorant".
I thought he wanted something without a negative connotation.
Not knowing things is bad. I don't think there should be a non-negative word that excuses insanity by lack of knowledge.
Yeah, but if people actually start using the word "unsane", then I expect it to acquire a negative connotation quite rapidly.
Hence my suggestion of "untaught".
Naive?
Many would consider 'naive' to be more negative than 'insane'. For many social roles 'naive' is a weakness and far worse than the right kind of insane.
