You just made a post in order to indirectly talk to yourself gj
Conformity is a Human Weakness
It stems from our need to be socially accepted, back when we needed the group to survive.
Do we still need each other? A little, but not so much any more.
Be a more independent thinker.
It's okay if you don't go along with the group. Be tough. Stand up for yourself. Not some sheep following the media.
it's not conforming if you choose to acknowledge that hearing voices in your head is a problem. maybe everyone should be freaked out if you're jacking off in the freezer section of the walmart because you think hillary clinton is in there raping kids and eating pizza and this is the only way to save them

I say be more independent and you go right to public sex acts. Strange way of thinking, but okay.

i'm saying one mans non conformity is another man's public lewd act
one man's 'independence' is another's excuse to go full mentally ill
what is conformity? Liyang, aren't you just accepting widespread alternative conspiracies that conform to a paranoid worldview you want to be true? Where's the line?
i bet he would donate money to these crazy cunts too
Pretty much every human achievement has been contingent on our ability to cooperate.
right. this may sound like some profound statement but really its not. we have the ability to cooperate. so does most other species. im not sure how this is relevant to the thread. we don't live in the stone age
nowadays nice achievement is made by mass civil disobedience and protesting state authority
That perspective might hold for someone living in Hong Kong, but in most stable societies cooperation is the greater cause of good.
Outro said:As for the argument that we're no longer reliant on each other to survive, that's batshit crazy coming from someone using a computer to access the internet to make that claim. Unless you're living an authentic Unabomber-in-the-woods type existence, it's delusional. The roads you drive on, the electricity to your house, the money you use to buy things, your internet plan, the doctor that delivered you in a hospital etc etc... There's hundreds of examples of cooperation every day.
he said not as much reliant.. we live in complex societies. with a material wealth of 10 times that of which humans need to survive. it depends on what your values are. I could care less about the quality of roads
Idk where you live, but I've driven on roads that have destroyed my car before lol. Roads need to meet a minimum standard of maintenance to be even usable, which requires other people and money.
You can't do anything worth doing, or go anywhere worth going without conforming to social norms. If I wanna visit Norway, I've gotta jump through social conformity hoops to get there; line up for the TSA, walk through the airport scanner, stay seated while the seatbelt light is on etc etc
Chimping out and throwing a fit in a queue, or on a plane, or when you have to pay taxes gets you nowhere fast. That's some adolescent bullshit. Conform and it pays off.
Name one stable society.
"Conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms, politics or being like-minded. "
How boring it would be for everyone to be "like-minded" Hive mind
Don't be sheep, unless it's the black sheep.
You seriously doubt the existence of one stable society? Most of the Western democratic world is broadly considered fairly stable. Don't hear of many coups in Switzerland or Australia.

your perspective holds well for someone living in haiti or laos maybe
