    2 - Digging Deeper Into The Misleading Standard of Normal

    In this second episode of Normal Is A Lie, Julie Harris digs deeper into the “standard of normal” and how it has incorrectly ruined lives over the three centuries since Adolphe Quetelet first created the definition. She explains how Quetelet’s bigotry and prejudices, along with those who promoted his work, have hurt far more people than helped, based on completely incorrect ‘standardization protocols’ that are nearly impossible for anyone to conform to in any situation where they are used. The standard of ‘normal’ not only isn’t accurate, it was never accurate from the very beginning because even Quetelet himself could not physically match his own standard.

    1 - The History of "Normal."

    In this first episode of Normal Is A Lie, Julie Harris discusses the history of the term, 'normal', and how it came to be applied to human behavior. People have lived with this fabricated term, thinking that they must conform to the idea of a normal person. However the original purpose of the word, 'normal', was created by an astronomer and statistician, who applied faulty mathematics to human bodies. Julie also proves that the definition of a 'normal human' is a complete falsehood, that was created through a very specific and very small group of men, and it's based on the average of those men, not any one individual. You'll be shocked at just how incorrect the definition of a 'normal human' really is when it's fully revealed. Not one human being on this planet can actually fit the definition of 'normal.'
