Instead of normal, don't your friends mean boring?

Normal is relative
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

There is only one normal. If it was anything different than "normal" then it would no longer be orthogonal to the line. Dummies

Don't be normal.

You are assuming that humans can be described by a normal model.

well if you learned calculus, you should know the chance of being on exactly ONE point of the distribution (ie. THE MEAN) is 0. (well its a limit...)

everything else are just estimations.

edit: thought you said AP calculus... AP stats is a joke lol, you don't even understand the mechanics of the normal distribution

isnt his normalness actually quite unique and thus he isn't very normal?

So if he's too normal, and according to your bell curve thing, about 68% of the population is average..only 2% of the population falls under the extremes, so then that means:

Everyone who calls him "normie" is being 'random', therefore reinforcing the normal-ness of their behavior. The otherwise "too normal" person is the very objective person; the one who tells the teacher "I'm going to be a cop when I grow up!"

In other words, quoting some famous transcendentalist: "How should one act in public?" What if the too normal kid just doesn't know what to do with his little friends and just follows blindly?.. like everyone else ;P what if he can't help it? I can't help it that I am random because I'd rather be random than boring. What if the normal kid can't be random?..

Yea, we're digging into this deeper than we should... hahaha

its not "his bell curve thing" and there is no "too normal" unless this "normal" behavior is not the majority at all.

you can't be singled out for being too normal lol... doesn't even make sense.

My feeling is that you can make that kind of bell curve for pretty much every single character trait, and they're all independant. So you can be, for example, normal in height, above normal in baseball ability, and below normal in shoe size. There's so many character traits, almost everybody has SOMETHING about them that's extremely abnormal. If someone really was normal in every single way, then that in itself is very abnormal.

If you imagine these traits to be linearly independent vectors, that stretch in the positive direction for above normal, and in the negative direction for below normal, and you imagine a person to be the sum of all these traits, then you could define normal to be the sum with minimal length, ie the zero vector.

how can height and shoe size be independent? :S

and are you sure your logic is correct?

someone with average height, shoe size, baseball ability, personality... is, by your logic, abnormal?

there will always be more people with "average" of everything than the next person who has an outlier in either of those traits.

i don't get it, is the red suppose to represent a 3D normal distribution?

it makes no sense. normal dist is not 3d, and why would anything be outside of a distribution??????

this question is based on bad logic and "Normie" the more I try to respond the dumber I feel =/

of course somethings usually go together, but they can still be different, and there's soooooo many different traits. Like "personality" isn't one trait, it's thousands of different traits, so i don't really know what a "normal" personality is.

you could but that would be stupid. Why would a guy with, for example, a height of 1 meter and an IQ of 200 be considered normal?

you could sum the square of their lengths though.
