Jordan Peterson, is that you? Pretty sure we can ballpark it. I had a cup of coffee this morning - normal, a woman in the news kept her dead sister in a freezer for almost 20 years - not normal.



>I had a cup of coffee this morning - normal

You casually drank a psychoactive drug. Is "normal" just another word for common?

If your culture demanded that you keep your dead refrigerated, and everyone around you did exactly that, would that behavior be promoted to normality?


Now you're just playing semantics.


how about "i had a cup of coffee and felt like the world was ending but i got over it with some anti-depressants"? have i been normalized?
