Some more random philosophical musings.

The desperation for being accepted appears to be linked to peoples fear of the serious and important subjects in the world.

For example, if you're one of these people who feeds off of attention from others in the form of excessive selfies and sharing the exciting and positive parts of your life while not sharing the less positive ones.. Then.. You will likely be repelled by conspiracy theories and politics and the occult.

If for some reason you are one of those people but not repelled by those subjects then I would guess you will likely be the typical sort of "trend follower" or "order follower".

I think you'll probably either be on the left or right of the political spectrum, or you'll buy into only certain conspiracy theories supported by government propaganda, or you'll be a low level minion of secret societies.

If you're hooked into this culture of hedonism and happiness and being accepted by the community at virtually all cost.. Then... Why on earth would you take a serious stand and speak out against corruption or war or animal abuse or anything? That would cause division!

You might lose friends or make people not like you! That is like one of the worst fears of people who are desperate for ego attention and acceptance.

If you value being accepted and keeping your world "in a certain order".. Then I don't think you will ever get to the deeper levels of human compassion or philosophy and intellect for that matter.

If you ignore the most serious and important subjects in the world for your own superficial goals, how could you ever expect to reach such levels that are a direct result and response of exploring these critical subjects?

When you desire approval of the crowd, you become limited by them and their limitations as well.

When you base who you are off of how the popular groups in your mind want you to be.. Then.. You become a caricature almost, or at the very least a "character" or a "costume".
And.. Unfortunately the people in power understand this all too well. They have studied human psychology and have much of it down to a science.

They know you crave comfort in numbers and acceptance and they cultivate it in you as well through hidden messages littered throughout media, entertainment, history and the world in general..

So they create that environment for you sort of like rats in a cage or a petri dish and.. You just do what they want you to do essentially. Like a dog learning to roll over or do some kind of trick.

For the most part anyways.. Some of you escape the chains and manage to be decently free in a world full of slaves.

Yet.. How do we help wake up more people when they love their ignorance so much? Some would argue Mundus vult decipi.. But.. I don't agree with that line of thinking myself. I think deep down people do want to know, they've just been sort of tricked into avoiding such.
