RE: The Pull of Conformity: The Secret Weapon

in #life7 years ago (edited)

In my post publish today, I tried to show that the ideology of conformity always work as an obstacle to the emergence of Utopias and lead to the acceptance of the forces of Power.
To me, conformity is a kind of voluntary servitude, where people abdicate of their "Importance".

Sort:  

This again is another great perspective of the whole picture and an excellent point of view. I have never really stopped to think potentially how detrimental conformity is to us a a species. If we removed the need for conformity from our genetic makeup, we essentially could be a near perfect species, granted we all chose to be good people, but that's a conversation about morality and how it can be so vastly different between people. What I think is right may be worlds different than what you think is right, which explains why we have never been able to create that Utopia some of us long for. Its an extremely complex thing we have going on inside of our DNA, and we still aren't even close to completely understanding it.
