Thank you. >I suspect that he struggles to see the world without that lens applied If you'll have to select one or two the most important and essential things to see 'without that lens', what would they be in your opinion?

In particular, PG's analysis of "conformists" seems heavily colored by the stereotype of jocks and other popular kids bullying the nerds. It's true that there's a set of people who try their hardest to believe what's popular in their social circles, but they aren't doing this to avoid thinking about things. In fact, I'd argue that moral trend followers almost all value intellectual thought and debate; people who don't value that don't engage in abstract discussions about society in the first place.
