From an outside perspective, trying to convince people of a truth they can't comprehend looks a whole lot like insanity.

I understand that, but this is a truth he shouldn't have been able to comprehend. It would be like if a 4-D being took you a positive direction along the W axis. What's the W axis? You can't even conceive of a W axis. Your brain did not evolve to hold the concept of a W axis as part of basic rationality. Then the being allowed you to look at your family in 3D space from a distance along the W axis. You're literally seeing something your eyes would not be able to see. That would drive anyone insane.

I mean I get that a 2D living square is not a human, but he seemed to have the same ways of thinking as we do.
