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

    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.
