> I don't think I need to go into the senseless rules that govern our lives and social interactions, because the 'rules and order' people won't see them
Maybe those from our own culture. There are “rules and order” people in every culture, but the rules are different.
One other effect of this fact is that we (e.g. me) recognize who the rules-and-order people are based on how they follow our society’s rules. In another culture, we may peg someone as a free-thinker, only to find out that they are very conservative, just conservative in a way we don’t recognize. We have to recognize what rules people care about in a culture before we can really identify which people care about “the rules”.
