There's another level to conformity that you're not talking about.

I don't think Leo was talking about existential conformity - more the type of conformity that arises from the social domain/survival and it's status hierarchies. The intention was a point of assessment.

I don't think it was said conformity is solely related to social domain.

@Miguel1 There is a lot to learn.

@Thought Art That's why we gotta keep things funny.

Existential humor is key to all this.

Dude, are you for real??

You guys have the weirdest twisted notions of what conformity is.

I don't even know what to say to you.

I talked about Conformity for 4 fucking hours, gave you 500 examples, multiple blog posts, and apparently still no one gets it.

A lot of people really be trippin on this forum. I think they don’t realize that being a non-conformist is confomrning just as much as standard conformity.

Right, that's the implicit point but it was also said that all uses of it outside the social domain is hog feed to fatten the philosophy academics. lol

Oh... Well. I think there are more contexts for it - especially within physics & reality. Forces are the largest domain I can think of just right off the bat.

Some of the structures of society that assist it to operate - humanity as a collective - to sustain, feed, power all of us? Requires conformity. Different domain I know. And many of these domains are free of group think, but exist within the survival paradigm

Notice that everything that you do is based off conformity. The way you think, move speak act all the fake ass shit that you do to make people feel comfortable, your immediate responses all that shit is conformity

Unless you have 'severe mental illness'.

Why do you floss your teeth (or dont)?

Is it because you've been taught to and simply created the habit without even thinking?

Or is it because you got the insight that food might get stcuk im between your teeth and it starts to rot inside tour mouth, and you don't want that so you floss?

The biggest impact is the tone of your thoughts, and the tone of your inner voice and the tempo of your inner voice.

Right now you're reading this and you're reading it with a specific tone of voice, but you could choose any other tone of voice and rhythm and it would have a vastly different effect on your physiology.

I will try this out. I love this idea, actually.

A form of conformity I fall into is given music with more listens more value. For example if I see a song has 1bill streams and one with out 500million I tend to bias the one with more streams as better.

Conformity vs Consciousness

I went to the dentist a while ago and looking at my teeth they said wow you must floss well your teeth are in top shape!

I laughed and said I haven't brushed my teeth in over a decade. 😂

At some point 15 years ago, I asked myself if brushing my teeth was true? As I thought about it a lot than experimented and switched over to cleaning my teeth opposed to brushing my teeth. So now I clean my teeth after eating food and i don't need to brush anymore. The difference in psychology between cleaning is that you have a connection with your mouth and when your mouth feels dirty intuitively, you rinse with water and scrape out anything if there's any kind of junk attached. This has the benefit of avoiding all the toxic chemical toothpaste, or whatever.

Warning do not stop brushing with out being serious about it, this might not work for you.

I am serous about cleaning. If your not your going to damage your teeth.

• The idea that you have to kill everything in your mouth is conformity.
• The idea that you have to put poison on all the surfaces of your house and call it "cleaning".
• The idea that you have to poison a plate that you just ate from and you call it "cleaning".
• Poisoning things has nothing to do with cleaning, pure conformity.
• Poisoning the air you breathe with scented products is conformity.
• Thinking that if something smells scented then it's cleaner, conformity.

You don't use a toothbrush? or dish soap?(for dishes)

Nope. It's to use a contaminant (soap) in an attempt to kill a different contaminant (germs).

Sterilization has value like in surgery, but it has been marked, overblown and burnt it to everyone's brain in this world where everyone fears germs.

Why is everyone so scared of germs?

Normal dish soap isn't a disinfectant, it just connects oils and water, to get oils off your plate.

I agree with the toothpaste being conformity, but isn't the best tool that feels more efficient, the tooth brush? How do you clean your teeth exactly, a piece of cloth and water? What if you get bits of food in between the teeth and don't notice? 

Also: "The idea that you have to poison a plate that you just ate from and you call it cleaning", but depending what you eat on that plate, it will get stuck and brushing with water only will not remove all of it, so wouldn't you be eating micro bits of rotten food later?

I am half-expecting someone to take a shit on the dinner table and then say, "But Leo said to not be conformist!"

That's the paths of the Aghoris. They eat their own shit, fuck dead animals, practice cannibalism and try to break all conformist rules, although they still conform to the Aghori path.
