Jean-Jacques (JJ) is one of my first pals from Twitter. He also used to have a beard.
He's one of the few guests I've had on who had a specific agenda to his appearance, and since it was right up my ally, I was all for it.
The value of being weird is something that I have a lot of experience in, and it was a very thoughtful conversation surrounding the subject. We got into a light sprinkling of Jungian thinking on the matter, related some personal anecdotes, discussed ways in which a weirdo can be of benefit to a society and the pitfalls a weirdo can present both to themselves and the world around them.
There was an easy flow to this conversation, and it has a lot to do with JJ's good-humored demeanor. He's similar to me in that almost everything is amusing, and that amusement elicits some sort of snort, chuckle or laugh. We had a great time while doing a fairly intellectual dive into the subject out outsiders and outliers.
I think this conversation has some very important perspectives to consider, and that it will help to illuminate the human spirit in a way that many may not have considered before, which apropos of the conversation in a very meta way, is what a couple of weirdos are good for.
