    I thought he meant, that it seems that the “normals” would see someone that knows what is right or wrong as someone that’s not “normal”. Because “normal” people usually don’t give a fuck about justice. “Normal” people have a very selfish moral code.

      Possibly? I’m open to having taken this the wrong way but to me it sounded like his statement implied that being a moral person and taking medication were incompatible or at least implied that medication makes you less moral.

        I watched it again and i think honestly it could be both. What’s missing is the context in which he is saying this. There’s, for me at least, no way to know where he’s coming from, by only viewing this snippet.

          The context is that he’s doing a stand-up comedy routine. Although “it’s funny because it’s true” is a thing, he’s not necessarily endorsing every single punchline as his closely-held genuine belief.
