The therapist, following an intense exploration of what it means to be normal within our current society, arrives at a troubling realization. It seems that individuals who are perceived as normal and successful in a wealthy, industrialized world often find it difficult to engage with their moral compass. This detachment raises concerns about the implications of societal norms on personal ethics.

Vonnegut's observation suggests that the pressures of prosperity may dull one's conscience, leading to a lack of awareness or concern for ethical considerations. In a world that prioritizes success and efficiency, individuals might overlook deeper moral responsibilities, highlighting a potential disconnection between societal advancement and personal integrity.
