The Psychology Of Conformity -- New Video!

The power of conformity is such that I am contemplating conformity initially because of conformity. The thought of conformity didn't appear in my mind autonomously.

The whole discussion really boils down to what public thought-streams I am swimming in. Lost in the waters, I forget to honour myself and the inherent non-transferable power of thinking independently for myself. The gravitational pull of humanity, science, religion, actualized.org is such that I'm locked to think in certain ways and not others. Imagine an infinite 3D space of Mind where humanity is just a tiny interconnected cluster: how do I break free from conforming to this cluster... and start the expansive exploration of my Infinite Awake Mind!

This is the real pursuit and juice of philosophy.

Thanks for giving a frame of reference, around 37 years old, for achieving Autonomy of Mind. It puts things into perspective for serious fellow travellers of life.

We can do it by 30 unless we seriously slack off, with so much of the groundwork already laid out. That's my vision anyhow. Tag, you're it.

The beauty of understanding oneself and loving ourselves, can only come by a non-conformist exploration and experimentation of our living psyche.

Surely we can, we are the next generation brother

Autonomy of mind is hard to achieve yet it feels like being a child again. But I can see is like hacking life, is like creating your own paradigms, like programming your life, heck I guess programming reality, through deep understanding. Why is hard? Because we get distracted when we should focus more, plus fundamentally is not taken seriously. Also you need to develop your own road maps to navigate through your mind, like creating crutchs for you to use, and this is what takes months and years. It needs to be super personalized. It is essentially learning to relieve social pressure to connect with your intelligence more, and that is easier for some and harder for others, and some are clueless. Social pressure is the pressure of needing to clap at the end of a show, for example, and it kills your autonomy of mind.

Funny example of conformity - comments under cave exploration posts on reddit. 

I am 100% convinced that they are pure group think at this point. Every time there is a caving post, it's always the same hateful and derogatory comments about how dumb and unnecessary risky caving is, with literally zero thought to them.

Ironically, a bit like how virtually every post in this thread says or implies "conformity is bad". What you fear, you tend to dichotomize, absolutize, extremize, reject, deny. It creates a solid basis for conformity.

@Carl-Richardit is "bad" in a sense that it is dumb as fuck.

That would fit right under the Reddit cave exploration posts.

@Carl-Richard no it wouldn't. Because cave exploration isn't dumb.

That's actually a dangerous idea. You do not need to be social to fall into conformity because the group-think gets to you through the media you consume, including books, videos, etc.

Which is why many anti-social internet freaks are into all sorts of conformist ideologies, conspiracy theories, and sub-cultures, etc.

4Chan is peak conformity and it is full of the most anti-social people.

When there is not technology your options get reduced to copying others, because that's your chance of surviving.
