Regaurding the speaker:
Basic pseudo-logical principles rejecting the legitimacy in any institution of logical reasoning. He's taking generally subjective abstracts within concepts and molding them towards the premise that logic, reasoning, and rational thought are unfounded / ill formed.
Normality is subjective. His entire argument is structured so poorly that he doesn't see that almost everybody has a difference in opinion within the subjective definition of "Normal". He's also fundamentally wrong on his very first point, our society isn't black and white. Points are not immediately rejected just because they are harder to grasp. These points, if given light to those who have the capabilities, are tested under conditions to prove or disprove their legitimacy unless the point itself violates a widely accepted law that is close to infallible.
Case in point, if you tell me that there's a pink ninja that only you can see following you around with a spectral katana, I'm going to call you insane. If this later proves to be actually true, so what? It was unfounded when it had no evidence. Him saying that the earth was a sphere and it being rejected by those who were under the impression that it was flat bares no significance. We as a collective whole do not know everything, that doesn't mean we should go around assuming pink ninjas follow everyone.
The absence of proof is not proof of anything.
