Being “weird” in a community like SV really isn’t about behavior, it’s about attention. It’s about wonky/broken(?)/better(?) pattern-matching. What’s amazing is how easily we find each other, while e.g. the press can’t get past simple fashion or bad haircuts

My point isn’t that the party’s in SF, it’s that *actually* valuing interestingness & being susceptible to involuntary capture by another person’s way of thinking are not universal. People who can’t/don’t do this can’t reliably spot the weirdos, while other weirdos can’t help it

If you’re a lonely weirdo, you need to either move to a bigger/more diverse weirdo cluster (weirdos vary significantly wrt what they need for intimacy) or spend more time talking with compatible weirdos online. Strongly recommend moving, even at considerable personal cost
