Which is both the blessing and curse of individualism.
The duty of individuals in such a system is that they need to acknowledge that they're weird, and that the general public shouldn't be emulating them if they don't already know they're compatible with weirdness (in contrast to how human nature/instinct normally work). But knowing that in the first place usually requires enough disagreeability that they can't follow that rule.
And after you've cleared that hurdle, "knowing what advice to ignore and what to integrate" is itself very difficult. It might not be worth your time/energy to be special even if you're above-average.
The problem is that, when these people are successful, people start trying to copy their methods without being able to copy what made them able to succeed with those methods, especially when that copying is because they want an excuse to be lazy and get credit for indulging their base instincts. (This is the "Visionary X was an asshole to his workers, so that means it's OK for me to do it to mine" thing- but you are not X, and don't offer the value he does. This is kind of an emergent property of societies where the class structure is perceived/taken as morally good to be flat.)
