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 | ||

"your too much like everyone else, we are gonna give only YOU a nickname." | ||

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. | ||

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 =/ | ||

Like "personality" isn't one trait, it's thousands of different traits, so i don't really know what a "normal" personality is. | ||

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. | ||
