A short YouTube clip (SDR #229) in which Chris Collins reflects on the dangers of being "average": equating average with normal, comfortable, safe, and accepted leads to acceptance and a lack of growth or stagnation. The speaker links "fit in" behavior to the social incentives of averageness.
What is it about average that's so dangerous because there's no growth and just trying to fit in? Fit in. That's. That's the answer that I was looking for. So when.
Average and fit in are coupled together, what does that mean? Stagnation? No, it means acceptance. Yeah. Okay, so if the bulk. If average means the majority of people fall in this little window, then the majority of people would be considered normal, fair, and anybody outside of that would be considered abnormal. So average equals normal equals comfortable equals safe equals acceptance.
