What few people ever mention is ... alcohol and sometimes drugs.
Very few people imagine a party without some intoxicant. Even children's parties, parents will give a party for the kids but the adults seperate themselves to enjoy a bit of alcohol.
Just think of it .... a party with 20 adults and no alcohol or drugs. Some people can do it but the majority of the population would avoid it.
"Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this -- partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties."

you're just describing a LAN party or a DND session, nerds have had "parties" without alcohol or drugs for ages.
Your LAN/DND sessions sound lame
being unable to enjoy get-togethers without drugs sounds pretty fuckin lame to me
I agree ... Nerds and DND people sound like a sensible bunch because they actually go out of their way to have fun without intoxicants.
What I'm talking about is the 90% of the population that can't relate to other humans without getting a little drunk.
This is a very gen x take on "nerds"
DND table without at least one person being insufferable about the microbrew sour six-pack they brought challenge [IMPOSSIBLE}
