But when we look at the positive deviants -- the ones who are getting the best results at the lowest costs -- we find the ones that look the most like systems are the most successful.
What my study showed was that there seems to be imitation not only of relatively bland behavior like dress, dressing or hairstyles, but there seems to be imitation of really quite deviant behavior as well.
While it is possible, even likely, that it was Hatshepsut's desire for power which determined her actions, to say that she was a deviant, ruthless usurper is a tad too far.
This was the time for heroic deviants, petty criminals, and pirates, whose behavior, while bordering on being criminal, was still framed as sympathetic.
And, you know, a lot of the early investigation really focused in on sort of the - what I call the troll under the bridge offender - you know, this homeless, you know, sexual deviant that's driving a beater car.
A society in which people literally wear masks to hide their emotions, and where anything outside the norm is considered dangerous, deviant, and to be destroyed.
I'm always interested because something else I find is always going on there, that that creation of that single deviant is always obfuscating something.
