Flying cars are also horrifying: they've existed for about a century, popular culture won't accept they're a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry

Idk what your society or definition of "insanity" is but assuming you're asking what we believe most commonly leads to one's mental health entering a negative feedback loop:

Broadly speaking it's some form of hopeless desperation (yes, the hopeless qualifier matters here) that commonly kicks into high gear after falling into homelessness, at least based on my own observations

Some also get to play on hard mode simply for winning the genetic and/or socio-economic anti-lottery

I agree in spirit but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

For anybody else wondering about the roughly 1500 year gap, there are conflicting statements between the museum and an article (presumably the one above) written about it but I don't see any explanation on either side's reasoning:

We talk about freedom the same way we talk about art,” she said, to whoever was listening. “Like it is a statement of quality rather than a description. Art doesn’t mean good or bad. Art only means art. It can be terrible and still be art. Freedom can be good or bad too. There can be terrible freedom.
