We all have to nurture our egos in different ways, some methods are less socially acceptable than others. If we are here to be to feel accepted socially, we are wasting our energies. Getting the ideas accepted socially, now that's worthwhile. Unfortunately the ideas presented by a person that comes across as less socially acceptable, may not get taken seriously. That only matters if we care about manipulating mass psychology, and that leads to bad things. If we are all genuine and passionate, the beauty of our unique qualities flourish and encourage others to flourish. Our individual unique qualities may not harmonize with every situation, but in the situations where they do harmonize, awesome results.
