Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

[Leo Gura]

Slurping noodles is conformist in Japan. 

They deliberately slurp noodles loudly to suggest they love the food. How insane.

Those Japanese have invented levels of conformity unimaginable to white man.

Dude don't tear down my reality. I don't want to believe that I hate people slurping soup just because of the culture I was raised in.

I am sure this is psychological from evolution, as it could alarm predators. And now is funny

I say take the risk.

@Leo Gura I'm travelling Japan for a few months and the conformist behaviour here is off the charts it's actually fascinating to see how attached most of the population is to stage blue but equally as interesting to meet more individually minded Japanese people who "conform" to the American stage orange type of mindset.

@Leo Gura I've always wondered, what's the use of that? Why should one do it? Do they get something out of changing their name to a spiritual one?

Indian words are popular as spiritual names.

Stephen Gray, Richard Alpert, and Jagadish Vasudev wouldn’t have sold a single book.

Hiking in the Andes, by Minnesota-based Jagadish Vasudev.

Yeah, doesn't sound that enticing.

Has Christmas been mentioned before?

My God I hate this one. The idea is beautiful but the forcefulness, sheepness and conformity ruins it for me.

Another one is travel ”vacations”, especially with a budget. It can be extremely stressful that involved lots of brain energy. I prefer my real rest and vacation at home / in nature. If I were to travel to explore the world, that’s a different story but I wouldn’t call it vacation.

@Miguel1 almost all people who travel. Sheep level conformity. Even the german Stage Green style of travel. They have to check all the fancy hipstery experiences. Volunteer in Gambia, meditation in India, Ayahuasca in Peru, see northern lights in Sweden, teach English in Laos. Then after you flew everywhere around the globe on your parents money, protesting against climate change and feeling sorry for poor people.

Saying bless you when someone sneezes and taking it personally when others don't say it.

Shaking hands upon introducing ones self. Also saying "hey how are you"? To sound nice. We're fake lol

We're all walking around in a collective consensus bubble of socialism.
