RE: Free Will Choice and Causal Determinism
Love it. Takes me a while to read your content but I'm getting a better understanding of the ROOT of things. For some reason, reading this post made me wander in thought about when people are in groups they create the concept of idolization.
Well said, low quality in = low quality out.
Yes indeed, idolization, cult of personality, stay away from that hehe. Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're going through more of the work :D
It's a way to conserve the group , have a reason or a leader that keeps everyone together.
It's a problem when people are shut off from the consequences and they grow "weak" in their reasoning.
In my mind groups should be focused on development on the individuals and not on the "grater good".
That way the group will flourish and survive in the face of danger, just because it's flexible .
@bitcoinparadise @krnel What would you say , how will a group of free thinking individuals survive , will it exist?
Do you have a comment on the topic of "group think" , it's been painted in a gloomy light , but I for one think that groups are natural and the internet itself is just a huge pond with lots of bubbles and going by the way of the "norms" and what is "fashionable" isn't always a good idea , since the fact that you will be just losing your free will and therefore choice and responsibility for your actions
Just now I got interested in the topic of groups in another post, maybe you can host that as a future topic of discussion. The question was about the implementation of Steemit Groups. Interesting it popped up here in another form.

I understand it's a natural process for a group to conserve itself. Idolizing is a little different from a group naturally selecting a leader for self preservation. Idolizing someone can have a group blindly being devoted to a leader that does not have the intent to preserve the group.
Spot on. I'm begining to see the differences between a group formed by people and one formed by interests and another out of just social pressure or whatever , where blindness might be seen.
