How the Idea of a ‘Normal’ Person Got Invented

I'm going to completely break the etiquette of the link you provided and go "Well, actually... it's 'borne'".

Other than that, great comment, and thank you for that link.

>> Unless the downvotee was born with an inherently sound understanding

This part? I meant "was born" as made the jump from being a fetus to being a baby, not "borne" in the sense of being carried, although I guess that works in a bit more poetic sense.

(Also thanks for the comment either way, always happy for feedback and corrections)

Whoops, did you edit that? I could swear I read "the downvote" rather than "downvotee", but then it doesn't make sense in context anyway. Brain fart, I guess, sorry.
