The concept of normality suggests that it is an ideal not easily achieved by anyone. Robert Anton Wilson argues that even those who appear to be unremarkable or dull possess unique quirks and eccentricities. Everyone has their own hidden madnesses, lurking beneath the surface, which they often strive to conceal from others.

This idea encourages deeper listening and observation, revealing that what is deemed ordinary is often an illusion. By examining the lives of seemingly mundane individuals, one can uncover a rich tapestry of distinct personalities and hidden depths. Wilson challenges us to look beyond surface appearances and recognize the complexity in every person.
