gollark: You "can" break rules quite frequently. That doesn't mean it's sensible to.
gollark: Probably not people who violate ALL rules, but ones who violate *some subset* of them in interesting ways.
gollark: If you go out of your way to do exactly the opposite of what "rules" say, they have as much control over you as they do on someone who does exactly what the rules *do* say.
gollark: I'm glad you're making sure to violate norms in socially approved ways which signify you as "out there" or something.
gollark: > if you can convince them that their suffering benefits other people, then they'll happily submit to itI am not convinced that this is actually true of people, given any instance of "selfishness" etc. ever.
