Are house-buyers, scholars, academics and bloggers the sanity waterline you hope to reach and raise? That is who you speak of and to. I suggest these are closer to the high water marks. With exactly zero inference on the truth value of any religion, I suggest people who are religious by their own account are closer to a waterline of sanity. Who is in the middle of the sanity curve? You seem to be talking to one end of it.

And do you have anything for people whose brains are physically incapable of sanity? Traumatic brain injury, chemical imbalances, people who are high or children, for instance.

You are right, this article talks to one end of the sanity curve. The goal of Intentional Insights is to have content aimed at different parts of the sanity curve as well, for example here in the form of a popular listicle and here in the form of a video for religious people.

Nope, nothing for people whose brains are physically incapable of sanity.
