Think about how 'fitting in' is also a term for 'averaging out' and ask yourself how much we value mediocrity?
You can only join our group if you fit within one of these narrow guidelines and wear one size fits all clothing
For crying out loud I'm sick of all the fakeness in the name of technology
- themodelplumber 6y agoThere's something more impersonal and less about authenticity, when you look at the factors involved in joining a group and becoming part of its identity, that's for sure. For that same reason though, I'm not sure I'd say that other groups differ so much. "Fake" realtors, "the typical hiker," or whatever it may be. The in-groups can often tell you about it first. Groups do seek their own identity over time, and sometimes groups can have identity crises, in which they arrive at a consensus on a new set of values after some other set of values has run its course. Even more importantly, individuals encountering this perspective--before the group does--have the opportunity to run early experiments and find new ways of being or communicating from the heart that may also be attractive to the social organism (of tech, or whatever). Someone with your outlook may be able to help with this...and that could really add up to a lot.
