But in art we have seen how the beautiful sight designed perfectly, artists choose women as subject to posture, where they praise puffy shape, golden hair, pointed nose and rosy cheekbones. Their ideal is not…

“Set!” I hold my breath. Boom! Exploding from my block and gaining speed with every stride, I feel more and more air brush against my face. All the anxiety from crouching back in the blocks is released at once. I focus on my steps. If I can’t approach first hurdle in eight steps, I will stumble and lose momentum.

Allen Frances said it best when he said that normal is a variation of many things, not just one. Not only does he talk about normality but he takes different approaches to it. In chapter one he discusses how the world defines normal and what normal used to be. He also brings up the ideological difference between what philosophy says and what doctors say.

The year is 3031… Except it’s not really 3031. In fact, it’s not really any year because the government decided that civilians knowing the year apparently gives us too much power. All records and calendars were ordered to be destroyed back in 2020. Back then, the Ancients tried to continue keeping track of the years and for decades they were successful.
