I've come at this from a similar angle that is, I think, different in the details; and that is rationality as a failure of compartmentalization - the attempt to take everything you hear seriously.
Michael Vassar, again, has a similar angle which is different in the details: nerds result from failing to learn the nonverbal rules of adulthood that are different from the verbal rules.
Michael Vassar also has Memes and Rational Decisions, which seems very close to the original post.
Thanks for the link, excellent reading. I really must read more of Michael's stuff.
