Is conformity the same as survival or is it different?
Most conformity is just baked into survival. You do conformist things to fit in with society and survive subtly.  

I’m trying to understand what you’re getting at @Leo Gura, beyond just examples. Is this one of those subtle distinctions where you view the same thing through different lenses, like maturity=wisdom? I understand conformity as another way of seeing survival, with an emphasis on lack of autonomy/originality.

A big potential trap I see is calling anything you don’t like conformity. It’s tempting as an introvert to say that extroverts are just doing conformity, but maybe it isn’t conformity to them because it’s their natural personality. Still, some personalities really are less conformist than others. So if you’re a truth seeker type you’re naturally less conformist than others. 
Bit this creates an interesting problem, because if it’s natural for extroverted people to be extroverted, then should they really try to act non-conformist? For them it wouldn’t be authentic. 
Maybe conformity is largely out of your control 🤷‍♂️

@AtmanIsBrahman It is not conformity if you are doing it for authentic personal reasons.

Extroversion is not conformity. It is a genetic personality style.

You guys have taken the concept of conformity and turned into confused junk.

Ok. There is conformity and then there is retardation.

I don't think it would be retarded because north and south are relative.

People are just not used to viewing it that way.

I didn't mean viewing the Earth upside down.

Seeing all the posts in this thread and then wanting to add to it is conformist. At least it could be

Too many copyright issues.

I don`t really get it. Leo wrote that saying the word "nigga"/"nig***" is conformist. Ok, but I like sometimes saying that word! What`s wrong with this?

I'm in this weird state of consciousness right now where I am conscious that everyone on this forum is me, my own mind, and I keep becoming conscious of this at deeper and deeper levels. There is simultaneously a feeling that me and all these imagined characters on this forum are best buddies, and it makes me weirdly happy and giddy being around them. It's almost like my consciousness is merging into this forum and becoming one with it and everyone here
