Do you always disregard someone's opinions based on the fact that the person is a weirdo? :-)

  It takes an atypical human not to.

    And there is, of course, nothing higher to aspire to than to be typical.

      Not sure how you got my aspirations from my statement of fact?

  Why not? If you have limited time span on this Earth, sounds like a prudent default strategy to avoid wasting time with BS - at the cost of a few false negatives...

  A weirdo? Not necessarily. There can be some gems hidden in a weirdo's thinking. A flaming egomaniacal narcissist? Usually, yes, I disregard them. Maybe this is a flaw in me, but I don't have the patience to sift through that particular flavor of garbage to try to see if there are any gems in there.
