Yeah, I've noticed exactly this. I've been raised to think my sober, analytic take on life is the "mature" point of view and the one that produces value in the world. All the "nonsense" people are the value consumers.

However, when I get off my high horse I realize we've all got our idiosyncracies and the real value detractors are those who can't see their own nonsense for what it is. In a sense, the "nonsense" people have the most sensible view of life.
