No actually it does, see it refers to severe mental illness and madness as the quote from the good people of Merriam-Webster attests.

Insanity, craziness or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Like killing 20 children, or participating in a mass cult suicide.

You are insisting that a word doesn't mean what it's definition says it means.

If I were using the term colloquially, I would say our conversation is insane. Then you'd have a point.
