Normalizing An Exception

There's a social trend to normalize exceptions. But the dangers of it haven't been thought through. Tearing apart norms is sometimes appropriate, but tearing apart norms to normalize exceptions has consequences. It's possible those wanting to normalize exceptions sometimes have good intentions.

But exceptions are the outlier alternatives. When we normalize them, many dangers occur.

Society has more or less arranged itself to do the best for the greatest amount of people. It's not a perfect system by any means, but it's roughly doing the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. Reorganizing around exceptions is a departure and likely will backfire on us.
