According to the first law of thermodynamics, heat is conserved. As
such, if you put a hot object next to a cold one, the cold one will warm
up - but the hot one will also cool down.
I posit that sanity obeys a similar conservation principle. When I work
on a really old piece of code, as my work progresses the code becomes
more sane - but I become less sane...

Stephen can identify with this piece of wisdom.
Whatever you do, don't ask about his present project

Yes, but due to loss, the total sanity of a closed system decreases over
time.

Wouldn't that imply that after a few years there would be no sane people
left on Earth? Surely there must be some external sanity source...

You will be believing in IQ, next. ;-)
It is verbiage. Sounds good, means nothing.
Sanity is fitting in with your peers.

LOL, It's not getting any better. Six weeks before "Go-Live" and we
still haven't finished config.
We're doomed, I tell ye. Doomed!

Makes sense; after all, according to quantum mechanics there /is/ such a
thing as conservation of information...
(... and it appears that black holes violate this law by swallowing
information, so yes, sanity in the universe is slowly declining...)

sanity <==> entropy
The universe is slowly becoming mad.

Or sane, depending on your point of view.
