How to use "Inanity" in context?
Inanity is a quality that often accompanies stupidity. In fact, many would say that there is really no such thing as insanity, only different levels of stupidity. So, while there is no such thing as an absolute definition of insanity, it typically refers to a state of mind that is unable to reasonably understand the world around you.
This lack of understanding can manifest itself in a number of ways. For example, someone who is constantly making silly mistakes may be considered insane. Alternatively, someone who refuses to believe in anything, or someone who is constantly talking about imaginary friends, may also fit this definition.
