>We don't need eccentric geniuses, we need people that can play nice.
The people that rule over us need people that can play nice instead of eccentric geniuses. It's people like Semmelweiss who advance society despite getting beaten to death for his efforts.

Shit like this is a factor too. They drove fucking Alan Turing to suicide just because he was gay. Our insistence on maintaining the status quo at any cost impedes progress. Fuck normalcy. Give eccentrics the opportunity to contribute to society even if they're weird, and our entire species will benefit from it.
