For most of us it’s only right, natural and sane to conform and submit.

    OP was exactly getting at facts & reality.

    Shame on you weirdos for erasing the post, and how you treated OP.

        Haha, and here’s a question for the likes of you:

        Upon an egalitarian network of folks talking, why are you here, really?

          Being on an egalitarian network of folks talking doesn’t render you immune, and indeed requires, that stupid statements and stupid ideas be demolished for their own lack of value.

            Agreed!

            At the same time, there is certainly much hay to be reaped from the amount of utter bullshit that we moderns have unwittingly deluded ourselves upon.

            That is also some monumental stoopidery that can be addressed, n’est-ce pas ?

      I came here to say there is alot of truth in that.

      Apparently we’re hardwired to find comfort in completely-homogenous-religion herds/tribes, & feel that religious-diversity is stress.

      Thre’s another angle to it, though:

      people who are still in what I call Kegan3, the aborbing-experience stage of unconscious-mind-development, … well, it’s honestly natural for them to be wanting someone-else to be leading.

      People who are in what I call Kegan4, or BullingBOSS mode, who are pushing-out meanings from themselves, to make themselves coherent with their chosen identity, they’re competitive ( in relation to validity ), & they’re doing the same thing as bulls bashing their heads, for exclusive-validity/status in the herd.

      Our limbic-systems are herd-beast-brains.

      It’s natural, but it isn’t optimal.

      Optimal is where as much honest growing-up gets crammed into our lives, so each finite human-life gets to experience as much of complete human-meaning as they can, before they die.

      Which is entirely-different from the as-little-effort-as-we-can-get-away-with optimization that our unconscious-mind is wired-for, you know?

      Anyways, yes: the OP spoke truth.

        I don’t understand those terms in the slightest, but interesting thoughts! The herd-mentality is certainly worth examining, whilst strictly avoiding the conspiracy-based shizzle.

        So we stick to facts & reality as closely as possible, mainly springing from the realm of science.
