I would also argue that most of the people you meet are not actually insane but are captured in the trance.
Reverend Sheen puts it beautifully in this lecture https://youtu.be/K8qqZup3Bg4 about the rise of communism in Russia during the time of Dostoyevski. Dostoyevski compared Russia to the man described in the Gospels as being possessed by many demons. Dostoyevski's prayer was that one day Russia's story would parallel that of the demoniac: she would be found in her right mind sitting at the feet of Jesus.
Hopefully our culture can return to its senses. Ultimately there is only one powerful enough to cast out the devils that have it under control right now. Pray that we can see it in our day.
Leaving the door open is vital.
