Side-note: Just registering that I personally aspire to always taboo ‘normal people’ and instead name to specific populations. I think it tends to sneak in a lot of assumptions to call people ‘normal’ – I’ve seen it used to mean “most people on Twitter” or “most people in developed countries” or “most working class people” or “most people alive today” – the latter of which is not at all normal by historical standards!

Seems right, I used the language of the thread, but edited it since I agree.
