"Our perception of what is normal is a social and political process."
Ana Andjelic
“'Normal' is a habit. It’s the way that we - as societies, economies, and as individuals - are used to doing things. Our habits gave us staggering income inequality, inaccessible healthcare, and unsustainable growth. It also gave us the climate crisis and 'disaster capitalism.'
"Here are (at least) four things that we need to stop viewing as normal:
Growth...,
Individualism...,
Short-termism..., and
Specialization...."
"...Our perception of what is normal is a social and political process. How different this perception will be once the immediate health crisis is over depends on what we pay attention to, and what (and who) we choose to ignore." - Ana Andjelic
