    The most common first name in the world is Mohammad. The most common surname name in the world is Wong.

    Thus, logically, the most normal person on Earth must be named Mohammad Wong.

    I thought about it for a second, and my mental idea of what a normal person is is like some black and white nuclear family, white dad with slick back hair and a sweater and a pipe in his mouth, and wife wearing a gingham dress, cooking food and cleaning with her hair in an updo.

    If that is what normal is, there’s only ever been one family that was actually normal, and they are all dead now.

    Normal people doesn’t exist, because people is a way to broad term to perform any kind of normalisation.

    I kind of think normal people don’t even exist. Everyone is weird in their own way. What we call normal is just the average of all these uniquely strange individuals - but that kind of person may be nothing more than an abstraction, like saying the average family has 2.5 children.

    We assume we’re not normal because we know ourselves in far greater depth than we know others. But we call them normal because, from the outside, that’s how they seem to us. Yet, in the same way, there are people who look at us and see normal.
