i am not really sure, myself. socks are generally the norm, so let's start by examining why.
~ socks are an important part of a healthy foot ecosystem. evidence: during summer camp in middle school, i decided socks were for suckaz and didn't wear them for, wood-cabin-bunk-bed-gym-showers-after-swimming-in-lake-what like, a week -- in a bone foote tathefukeva scenario. my feet were not happy -- no, in fact, the results were somewhat terrifying.
beyond that, i find short periods without socks can leave me feet feeling sticky, and even a good shower doesn't always get off the stick. it can persist for ages... it bothers me. it bothers me almost as much as a sock being on wrong, except you can't take it off. until it wears off.
then again, when you do yoga on the porch rug in bare feet, you get to thinking: yeah, alright, perhaps that character actor in Die Hard I really had a good point -- making fists with your toes (to ground them) is an important layer in maslow's hierarchy of needs, especially if you're spending a lot of time off in space.
it's an odd contrast. this porch rug smells like dog shit, and this bothers you supremely, because, theoretically, your feet might smell like dog shit later. but, the anxiety is gone. your balls are sunning themselves gently. sort of like how you feel when you wake up on a sunny sunday, and snooze in bed, except you're doing yoga on the porch. on the dog shit porch rug. in bare feet.
are socks evil? i'm not sure. on the one hand, they keep your feet from smelling like dog shit. on the other hand, socks seem to contribute heavily to anxiety disorders

why do they contribute to anxiety disorders?
first, watch the fists with your toes scene from die hard i. ok?
now, did you ever actually try this? when john mcclane makes fists with his toes in the carpet in die hard i, he says, "son of a bitch!" to emote how utterly shocked it is that this fucking shit worked and if you have tried it you would already know you would say son of a bitch, too. just like mcclane
anyways, anxiety is possibly a deficiency in contact between self and environment. the socks constrain the toes and form a boundary that is maintained throughout most of waking life without our giving it even a passing thought. similar to a man spending a long period in an isolation tank, eventually your feet dissociate, and from there it's sort of like the thing in virtual reality about a virtual nose -- if you can't feel the ground under your feet, touching your toes, you're just floating off into space.

if we had to wear socks on our hands, I think we would get very depressed.
if we did not wear socks on our feet, we would know how to pick up things with our toes.we could even code computers and play instruments with our toes.
I believe wearing socks in bed is bad for our health.
but they keep our shoes more clean.

Once I was staying for a few weeks in a run-down hostel on Hollywood Boulevard. I was sharing the room with a psychologically unhealthly guy from Texas who was of Mexican descent. He would start singing Limp Bizkit in the middle of the night or suddenly say "Sup? Sup? Sup? Sup? Sup?" in the middle of the night and ask me question such as "What is $50 minus $10?".
Then once, during the daytime, while he was spraying anti-foot-fungus spray on his socks he offered me some of it and invited me to use it. Even though it wasn't SUPER strange, I still find that experience pretty strange.

socks are not evil. they keep you warm especially when you have diarrrea. have you ever had diarrrea and your feet were cold and you needed to take a shit but your home was far far away? ugly situation.

Noooooooo!!! Socks are evil when worn with sandals!
But yeah, we could debate over weather a knife is evil, which I would argue isn't. Socks? Well to each his own anxieties.

when i was in college, i was in some frat house to smoke some weed. one of the guys took out a bottle of gold bond, and rubbed it on his balls. offers the bottle to another guy. he does the same. eventually i am offered: do i want some gold bond to put on my balls?
at this point i am rather unnerved. i enquire why i would want such a thing? "oh, it makes your balls feel super fresh." dubious, i decline. they shrug and continue gold bonding their balls.
i still have no idea what the shit. just, like. what the shit

there be mice called "knockout mice" and they be called knockout mice because genes have been knocked out. you can order up knockout mice for "autism" and get a science-grade mouse with the right genetic wrongs to do lab experiments on austistic mice.
all mice compulsively groom themselves, but autistic mice go way overboard. groom groom groom. fuss with it all day. can't tolerate a hair being out of place. it's worse than a sock being on wrong

i think it was either jnasato or mermaidman who made some comment about it being an ultimate race war between the squeaky-clean anal-retentives and the grody barefoot hippies. once side represents science/socks run amok, while the other represents a complete rejection of science/socks.
i figure we'll just opt for a balanced approach; wear socks for life, take them off to earth my toes into the carpet like xltronic posts

There are few greater feelings in our perceived reality than that of putting on brand new socks. If I were rich, I would never wear the same pair of socks twice. Once worn and washed, their magic is forever lost.

When warm, from the drier, or ironing (I don't iron my socks) it's even better.
Socks are not evil. It's not that difficult to work out.
I love how he made a thread recently but truthfully couldn't give two shits about our responses.
