Do you follow the crowd?

[mooseman]

I'm actually learning to follow the crowd after half a lifetime of being an extreme individualist. I choose the crowds carefully, but I have to say I quite enjoy it at times. Like the band I play in now, where I almost always choose not to object to ideas I'm not fully in tune with. It's quite liberating. I don't know if it is extraversion slowly growing on me.

Crowd? Other people? Where?

In all truth, it's absurd to claim that you DON'T follow the crowd, because you wouldn't even be able to speak and think, without them. Your whole perceptions about the world are entirely manipulated by the monkeys before you; and even your rebellions are manipulated. ^^ All underground and counter-culture movements are still popular culture, and that's how they got to you. Unless you make something entirely in your head, in which case it doesn't even matter.

You can be presented with A.
You can rebel: not A!
Meanwhile, there are also B and C, but you wouldn't even know.
I mean - negation of what is offered is not freedom. And choice is an illusion, when you simply don't know.

Haha yea, that is great.
