To err is human.

Not just humans, actually, all life err,
because mutation and evolution results in fiercer genes.
Error tolerance is a fantastic feature of our DNA.
But perhaps rather than saying that we were built FOR error, maybe it is more accurate to say that we were built WITH error.

It is not so much an effort or "correctness" that led to success - but rather, whatever happened to happen, happened because it is the inevitable. Whatever didn't happen, didn't happen because it not happening is also an inevitable.

Between the happening inevitable and the non-happening inevitable, we have enough life forms and variables to go around. This richness is the very essence of our world.

Our survival is simply proof of our diversity, because in diversity we create enough randomness to ensure that something survives.

The only time the word "normal" can mean any sense at all,
is when it is referring to the Gaussian distribution.

Being "normal" under the non-mathematical definition only means that you have inherited a more proven set of genes.

Which means that you are not going to push any frontiers.

Which also means you are largely unnecessary for the process of evolution.

Why are we so obsessed about being "normal"?

It is our weakness that makes us so.

We like to think about a model being that defines what "normal" is.

And we like to put everything else either "above" or "below" the "normal".

We admire those who are not normal, only when they happen to be in the "above" group.

When some choose lifestyles that belong to the "below" group, we look at them with disgust and fear.

The Gaussian Normal on the other hand, is incomplete without the full distribution.

It would not be Normal otherwise.

Yes, it means that the people "above" and the people "below" are part of what makes everybody Normal.

G/R/R/A/A/C/C/E/S/S is a color only when you put yourself in the center of the world.

Come to terms with it.

Diversity is the new Normal.
