Roadside insight

The world is organised such that you get rewarded for being sheep. Independent thinkers will have trouble being accepted by anyone outside their circle of independent thinkers, unless they can spin it into an anti movement.

      Perhaps. I was thinking of specific observations and how they ran into patterns — somewhat politicised to state openly. They may or may not apply universally, but the patterns are broad.

    for instance: pecos? if you arent a rock music lover then you gotta play sheep and pretend to love it, in order to "belong" there. coz it's the die-hard rock music lovers that claim pecos as their territory. they have some independant thinking going there as well. if you happen to overhear

    never saw anyone rewarded for being a sheep. Sheep dont get punished is all - for independant thinkers it is 50-50
