Eh. That we are subject to opprobrium when we dissent is somewhat normal, and I do not believe social predators play much part in societal pressure to conform.

Eh. That we are subject to opprobrium when we dissent is somewhat normal, and I do not believe social predators play much part in societal pressure to conform. Most people are good otherwise society couldn’t exist, and we can further assume that most people’s views are in a spectrum that doesn’t actually vary too wildly as society more or less seems to reflect a mild uniformity. If you want things to be “not boring” you would need to disrupt society severely. I have always felt that until Americans cannot feed themselves and send their kids to school, America would remain boring. Indeed, during the shelter in place orders when this began to happen, there was major social unrest… it took that much to make Americans care to do anything about serious social injustice. If you combine the responsibilities and demands of adulthood with social pressure and mild uniformity, boringness is the result and it’s a good thing. When society falls apart, everything becomes unboring… This is just an amateur view. Probably wise to talk to a sociologist or something about this topic.
