Human beings are weird, yes. But, recent studies suggest that Americans might just be the weirdest in the world.
This is really interesting to me as I have been thinking about expatriates, and the hows/whys of people feeling so dislocated when they return to their countries. Something within living abroad creates tiny sociological dissonances which can leave a person feeling neither fish nor fowl at home OR abroad. It makes them a good outsider, and potentially a better writer, but it does leave one confused. A WEIRD look at the human mind.
