Ab-NORM-al behaviour

Social norms are prescribed rules of behavior, the violation of which normally provokes guilt and resentment. While norms are like moral theories in providing reasons for performing an action, they differ from moral theories in not being comprehensive or overriding. Norms govern limited contexts and provide merely presumptive reasons which can be overridden by other, more weighty reasons.

Some social norms are conventions. There is a social norm, for example, that requires one to go to the back of a line when waiting to buy a ticket, or to show up on time when meeting someone for an appointment. Note that these norms, while conventional, are taken quite seriously by people who observe them. The failure to conform tends to cause guilt in the perpetrator and resentment in the persons affected by the violation of the norm.

"Bumper stickers vary in meaning based on placement. Consider "Run, Hillary, Run!" It is seen on the back of Democrat cars, and on the front bumper of Republican cars."

A call to protest the absurdity of voting as a sign of democratic participation

" Note: The Surgeon General warns that ballots are toxic and can be hazardous to your health. Eating one every four years probably won't kill you, but putting one in the ballot box probably will. "

The trick is to sound challengingly weird but convey a reassuring aura of honesty and simplicity.

Revealing the Swindel


``The police couldn't put you into their polarization structure. They know how to deal with real criminals, but somebody who puts eggplants on sticks - you're making a mockery of their social order, and that's worse than what most criminals are capable of doing.''

- Andrea Juno

"I'm disappointed, not because I hate the Americans," Khamis tells me, "but because I like them. And when you love someone and they hurt you, it hurts even more."

greg, i believe this is the shadowy depths of the thesis quagmire.

i'm so afraid that i'm going to fail
that i'm not going to make it
that this whole experience will culminate in nothing

how could i have been so naive to think that i could just bullshit my way through this?
