Math prof on LSD

So kids, today we study statistics, you know mean median mode kinda stuff. You might ask what’s so great about it, well I don’t really know but its supposed to tell you how things are supposed to be on an *average*.

Lets start with the simplest, the mean, the all encompassing all knowing omnipotent mean. It’s a swell thing really you know, tells you about the values that would occur 'normally'. So like take random numbers between 0 to 10 and you’d get a mean of around 5 and that tells you that normal value for anyone in the set is around 5. But you see here is the problem, the big friggin problem. What about 0 and what about 10? How are those wierdos supposed to cope up with it, being called outliers and all.

And then if u had 1-√(3) and 1+√(3), their average is 1. Boring rational positive integer 1. So like you are telling two poor irrational numbers to go fuck themselves? Wouldn’t they feel abnormal and inadequate, needing a point and infinite numbers after it to be written when *normally* they should have been just the solitary digit. Jeezus that’s depressing enough to make them wanna commit suicide or kill the person who defined mean. Or they could kill 1 for being the prime instrument of the sheer agony inflicted on those poor benevolent numbers.

So you see that’s the big stupid problem with normal. It tells you what you are supposed to be like, but very few are actually like it. It degrades your identity to merely a deviation, a difference. Come to think of it, the whole idea is so mundane and boring and mindless isn’t it? So next time somebody tells you that you aren’t normal tell them to go fu.....no actually thank them, for abnormal is how you want it to be, and that’s how its meant to be.

Is this somehow influenced by your revelation of the knowledge of the fact that you've transformed and catered to hackneyed societal expectations in the process?

Whatever way, it's awesome.
