What? I wasn't arguing that normality is good, I was defining the term for someone. What are you talking about?
I think normality is more complex than just a good/bad duality. Of course it matters what's normal - you're speaking normal English, because you need to conform to it in order to function. That's normal. You also probably don't walk around in a bikini, clown makeup, and a 20ft tall top hat, because society thinks that's weird, and has taught you to not want that. So we're all functionally normal, and that's important for society -- but individuality is just as important in terms of economic innovation, culture, and the pursuit of happiness.
Is normality preferable to individuality?
