You may be interested in what David Brin writes about cultures actually encouraging (some) eccentricity in _Transparent Society_. He also groks the metaphor of societal antibodies (and "T-cells" etc).

Will folks please try not to anthropomorphize, abstract concepts? Or, vice-versa, conceptualize living, breathing people? There is such a thing as being too clever by half. jbdigriz

Damn. Souldn't have said that. I was just trying to illustrate the fallacy. It only just dawned on me how it might have sounded. Let's just say I used to believe I was supposed to think like this, but have learned or rediscovered otherwise since. So now I have to control the zeal of the converted.

If you feel compelled to operate within your particular brand of brainwashing/ideology/virtuality/religion then this list may not be for you.
