on the convex of what i rambled about earlier, i had another thought about it all and
i feel like, lmfao. perhaps.... 'excluding' and 'including' is part of the natural sorting that people do socially so as to not face complete overload... as they go about trying to process the now hundreds of millions of people who are constantly connected all at the same time in one place.
it would sort of corrupt your healthy sustained beliefs that, constitute what make you as an individual and everything you thought you are, everything you think the world is, what your reality testing has told you reality is, etc... your must fundamental beliefs, that guide your actions, in a smooth way that functions for you and your needs and ultimately your emotional, mental, and physical survival.
and so, for some, if something starts to clash with that, the fundamental core is going to take precedence over whatever is clashing with it, more than likely. and it can get more complicated than that, but lets just leave it at that for now.
i.e more factors that are considered a part of fundamental beliefs- like, about the nation in which you reside or were born, the significant influence your social and societal structures have had specifically on you, including things like religion or even indoctrination to, something like a cult.... and all the other mind games we are subjected to, in life.
what you make of reality is your reality, so sometimes you have no choice but to continually sort what you are presented with, as a natural response to cope with essentially information overload or potentially, cognitive dissonance you are experiencing, or whatever makes you uncomfortable.
i understand that everyone stands in a very different reality, of their own, and because we are more individuated than ever before due to things like, social media creating social distance, while providing the illusion of, congruence and assimilation. it's actually could be causing more 'split offs' from the herd so to speak, socially. so people get off in their own worlds, they have enough access to people who support their beliefs too, or, sources that confirm and validate their idea of 'sanity' and all the other opinions that come with it.
and, people sort of, socially, need opinions, to thrive. pscyhologically, in this society. they need core fundamental beliefs to be aligned. that connection creates a feeling of safety that is a primal need, and gives brain serotonin.
so... you end up with a lot of groupings of people off in different places doing their own thing, and then they're confronted with someone from a seemingly different universe, and in an attempt to understand them, they immediately sort them, assign labels to them, etc. judgement is, it's something that our brains do on a subconscious level constantly and it's not something we can just turn off, it's hardwired in there.... as a survival mechanism
so, of course, you see something that doesn't jive, it immediately becomes 'cancelled' and, because it's social media, people aren't afraid to say wht they really think, you know. it's just creating further division, as some will side with the commenter, and some will not. believing that taking sides is, necessary and, defining... for them.
people need that definition of self, and that resonance with others.
unless you have no concept of self and are detached, but have become comfortable with that notion. but i would say that's, not the norm. to have virtually no opinions, existing in sort of a vacuum container of nothingness lol
and my favorite quote, because why not, it's relevant.
"if you say there's no truth, and who cares, then how come you say it like you're right." -conor orberst
