What is normal.............................?

This is where language plays a huge role, because words reflect how we think, and many argue they constrain how we think. “Normal” is a messy and imprecise word, and if you use it your thinking is likely also messy and imprecise. In most situations it is probably best just to avoid the word, and to think about what you really mean.

For what it's worth, this blog has long supported the contention that normalcy is merely the psychosis of the majority.
