I just realized that what I'm describing is a taste of unity with God. My sense of self is melting so much, I'm seeing others as being imaginary, my consciousness is merging with them. The happy, giddy, 'best buddies' feeling is a taste of the love of unity

Ridiculing and banning psychedelics.

Treating psychedelic trips as mere hallucinations.

Ok. There is conformity and then there is retardation.

What do you mean?

Maps and the globe are that way so Europe is Top and center(map).

Dubstep has got to be one of the more extreme examples of my lifetime. It was everywhere 14 years ago, but if you put it on now, someone will turn it off within seconds.

Liforme Yoga mats.

Good mat but bought it mostly out of conformity !

Insight: All conformity is a mechanism of cultural indoctrination on some level.

Cinephilia.
Good example someone made up on Reddit: «Guys I've watched like thirty Kurosawa films and I don't like them. How do I make myself enjoy them?»

[Human Mint]

Every response chatGPT gives = conformity.

It will correct anything that doesn't conform, especially if it doesn't conform with science terminology even though what you write makes more sense.

Which leads to the following point: people mindlessly posting content produced by IA are the biggest conformists.

Conservative Media like PragerU & FoxNews.

The example about the Earth map that was mentioned, just displaying it always the same fixed position. That's a good example of conformity.

Like if you try watch a map of Earth 90 degrees someone will correct you and it will make you think that's the correct way (conformity). Because the position doesn't change anything about the accuracy of the map really.

If you have a literal globe on your desk where Europe is on top and the text and labels are aligned for reading it that way, then turning the globe upside down is retarded.

I don't think that's what he meant... Why are all photos of the globe the one way, 'In Southern Hemisphere countries, why don't they make globes(or pictures) with the southern hemisphere on top?'
