Nice. Annoying but true. If a bunch of individuals are alike but heretic together, they form a mob (assuming that mobs can also be heretic -different geographies, cultures, ideologies etc). But if every individual opines differently, do we win (can we think of a time we were better off with the mob :))? Which of these two is equilibrium? Unclear to me.
I have had this question since ever. Do we want to be different, because we dread commonality because commonality is really bad - it kills your own thoughts? But when that commonality was not common, some individual must have been perceptive alone? Bell, Einstein. Or is it in vogue to be heretic?
I always feel bad for kids. They are always taught do this do that. What if they are left free? Good? Bad? Fair? Or pestering :)!
