- mhb 5y agoSo delightful to read in the Twitter format. But I guess that's what you need to do to fit in.
- madiator 5y agoRight, nothing new. But every now and then it is a good reminder to see things a bit more clearly. When you want something, it is powerful to be able to pause and realize the wanting arises because of what others do, not intrinsically.
- Rzor 5y agoIt's one of those unseen realities (or banal platitudes as Foster Wallace said) of everyday life. How's the water, boys? said the old fish.
- refurb 5y agoIt’s not necessarily driven by fitting in which infers liking the same things other like so you are in the “in group”. It’s preferring things just because others do, no reward of “in group” membership required.
