I never meant "weird" in a negative context. I used it for the purpose of exaggeration and emphasis.
Different is a better word, perhaps. 


Mmm good point, except clearly you and I are not being invited to the right parties (or any at all in my case usually). Hopefully we can all plan strategies to form working groups that plan actual parties for those of similar intellectual interests. Although how interesting would a party be which only had clones of our-selves with a marginal deviation of personality? Not very much I would wager.GMSI7D wrote: January 15th, 2019, 9:00 am this is like talking with monkeys in the zoo. it is interesting for only 5 minutes . that's why social events and parties are boring. it is interesting for 1 hour then this is a waste of time.

It is said by many that - "variety is the spice of life" so therefore perhaps it follows that to use too much of that spice makes for a bad dish to be eaten. What we need is just the right mix of variety spice in our social interactions,while allowing for randomness in the heat of the oven,yet while following a logical recipee of base materials. (I almost wrote base metals there, and thought of alchemy suddenly.)
