People whose opinion I care about aren't that fussed about other being "a bit socially deviant". Apparently Einstein had similar views, so I feel I'm in good company.
Society progresses only by the friction created by all those unreasonable eccentrics.
Heaven forbid society should have to deal with something different! Do you actually believe this or are you just playing the advocate?
I believe this, AND I was just playing the advocate. Note that belief and approval are orthogonal. I think this is really happening, altough I do not really approve it.
Society's ? Not having to deal with the friction created by eccentrics.
