A Study of Eccentricity

I&#x27;m keen on the eccentricity inflation idea. We&#x27;ve all become &quot;eccentric&quot; by the standards of old so we&#x27;re not quite sure what counts anymore.<p>The guy down the street cares for a tree that bears many different types of fruits. It&#x27;s not his specialty, just a hobby. In his day job he works at a museum that specializes in the collection of mummified body parts and at night he likes to role play with random naked women from all over the world. <i>Does that even seem strange anymore</i>‽<p>If he invented something amazing would we history books of the future describe him as eccentric? I don&#x27;t think so.

Found out from a random share that this resonated and reached HN! Happy days ... Am the author and glad it sparked a discussion.<p>Re the eccentricity inflation, I do think the fact that we now know more about everyone and everything means the need for peacocking is much higher! So it does play a part.

Not sure it fits on HN, for some reason it really resonated with me though.

Well written fun to read article, but surely just an example of someone complaining &quot;someone is wrong on the internet&quot;.<p>We just passed through 4 years of Trump, QAnon, the resurrection of flat earthers, a man wearing horns storming Capitol hill, Goop selling out of $5 candles selling for $80 because they smell like Gwyneth Paltrow vagina, GameStop take downs, Imelda Marcos 2,700 shoe fetish, and a training driver trying sink a hospital ship by ramming it. It&#x27;s not so out there for some parts of the world, but for a fellow Australian &quot;That&#x27;s my Boy&quot; [0] takes the cake.<p>And the claim is we don&#x27;t have eccentricity like the old days. Ye gods, I hope the aren&#x27;t pining for the old days.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;article-2721230&#x2F;x.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;article-2721230&#x2F;x.html</a>
