THE NORMAL HUMAN: ………….REVISITED

In the following I avoid giving examples or branch to digressive detail. To do so would expand this essay/manifesto into a book.  I trust you can provide examples and details yourselves. My intent is not abstraction, but concrete action in face of catastrophe. —————– We are all more familiar with deviations from the normal human,…
