General Discussion

My take? At the top of the list, the most defining value of how we humans relate to others is peer pressure.

In the past, before social media, what would be considered by most to be outlandish behaviour was tamed in part by the local community to which one belonged, meaning it was confined to a relatively small geographic circle. Today? Not the case. Anyone going against the former social norms can find an online group that ID's with them, so they get immediate validation.

All to say, we're f'd.
