The Conspiracy of Normalcy We use to believe that being "normal"was good thing.. People would do thing because it was normal..and struggle with doing things that weren't. When I was younger I questioned .. what is normalcy, and who decides that? Many people have answered that question. Believing that the creation of "normalcy" is a conspiracy.. We live in "The Matrix" made of normalcy. That someone else gets to decide.. |

What is 'normal' is a societal construct, and constantly changing over time. No one can TELL you what's normal. The conspiracy of normal is the struggle between people trying to TELL you what normalcy is. Just like everything else, people are trying to tell you. It both their justification and an affront to you... they are obviously winning. Because it's about causing you to lose trust and respect. When you can decide who's the good guys and who's the bad guys.. The "bad guys" don't have to prove they are good.. The just have to prove the good guys are bad.

Like you, I questioned what is 'normal' in my youth. At the then local music venue, I became friendly with one of the house band members who also happened to lecture in psychology at uni. His response on once asking him what is 'normal' was that we're all neurotic in one way or another in varying degrees.
