Harry - LCFC Posted 17 April 2013 Posted 17 April 2013 Huh? Oh dear, I realise I've misread the question as "how many of us can be normal?" and put seven down as a response. Probably best if you ignore that one.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 If we are all Unique how can any of us be 'normal'? I suppose you start with what is at least perceived as majorly not normal behaviour and take it from there. Murderer Peadophile Rapist Violent Thug Necropheliac Someone who has sex with anything other than a fellow human being (sex aids aside for the ladies obviously) Virgin ginger student If you are any of the above then straight away you are majorly not a normal person in societies eyes. I am sure that there are other things to add to the list. After that list is exhausted you then can go down to the next level of what is considered not normal and so on...
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 There is no such thing as normal. But if something is perceived as not normal then surely the opposite is normal. Everyone has flaws so nobody is perfect but some people definitely are less normal than others.

It could be argued that for a ginger sudent to be a virgin is a very normal thing...
Tom17LCFC Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 There's no normal or unique because there's nothing. It's all an illusion.
Captain... Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 Because normal is a range and not an absolute, you can be unique and fit in the societal definition of normal, but then any definition of normal is subjective, so you can be unique and normal, but only from the perspective of another.
Alf Bentley Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 There's no normal or unique because there's nothing. It's all an illusion. But is the nothingness also illusory? Does the vacuum exist? I perceive your illusory nothingness, therefore I am!
Captain... Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 But is the nothingness also illusory? Does the vacuum exist? I perceive your illusory nothingness, therefore I am! But is the illusory nothingness? If you perceive something that is just a figment of your imagination, then are you perceiving anything or are you just creating a reality in which you feel comfortable and basing all external influences around that reality? Ultimately we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather. And I will rep the shit out of anyone who gets that.
Zingari Posted 18 April 2013 Posted 18 April 2013 Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended?

"Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you", as Prof. Neil Finn pointed out in his seminal philosophical work "Meteorology and the illusory perception of subjective reality, a cloud hanging over us all" (Crowded House Publications)

Have the warm, soothing arm of a rep point, in case it helps...been there too often myself, recently. Must work now, the non-illusory reality of needing to earn some cash takes over...

Bless you sir, you are fast becoming one of my favourite posters, I am currently running on sheer force of will, if I stop then this hangover will take me down.
