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.
Oh, hm. I wish I had started taking these hypotheses seriously back in September 2009. /sigh. We need rationalist dojos so bad. It sucks that there's no one qualified to teach them, yet.
