 What is psychological normalcy?

Most people think their brains function normally..  unless a group convinces them otherwise. 

Being psychologically normal is the same thing... you think the way everyone else does.

So if you're poor and homeless, for example, you'd like to think: oh I've got to wake up early, eat breakfast, shower and get in my car to drive to work ... to a job I hate,.. but success isn't won by doing what you love.

Something to that effect.

that way you won't be successful in creating anything new  
 Lol ... well... yeah.
