To me, reducing your weirdness is equivalent to defection in a prisoner’s dilemma, where the least weird person gets the most reward but the total reward shrinks as the total weirdness shrinks.
Of course you can’t just go all-out on weirdness, because the cost you’d incur would be too great. My recommendation is to be slightly more weird than average. Or: be as weird as you perceive you can afford, but not weirder. If everyone did that, we would gradually expand the range of acceptable things outward.
