I think the human desire to be different is the most dangerous thing in the world.

Really? How so? As for wanting to belong, I think of nationalism, religion, tribalism etc. Extremely dangerous things. Not to mention High school clicks.

I was just implying that such a decanted idea as 'to belong' surely has a blanket counterpart with the potential to be equally dangerous. I would also suggest that deep inside the want of the group is the want to be different - i.e. nationalism vs. exceptionalism.
