That would take us past Eccentric and swiftly descending into Lunacy. Without trying we would invent a set of rules at first as guidance then, after a few smart arses found that money could be made by telling people how to obey the rules we would find ourselves splitting into smaller and smaller groups.

The Eccentrics would feel superior to the not a full shillings, the not a few shillings would feel persecuted by the Eccentrics, eventually after a couple of millenia we would settle down to being ordinary joes that can put up with each others idiosyncracies, until our peace is disturbed by the virtual knock on the door and some seventh stage compulsive obsessive will not accept that we can get along and start quoting from the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and telling us what to do.
