Today, I read a post by my stepbrother in-law saying this: ".@HiMyNameIsJamie just insulted my beard. Please advise on how to respond." @HiMyNameIsJamie is his wife (a.k.a. my stepsister). I find this to be ridiculous. It reminded me of We Live In Public when Josh Harris and his girlfriend would get in fights and then expect the outside world to tell them what to do. While this may have been a joke, it could possibly show that Harris was right, and that society is starting to become too much of a hive mind. This worries me greatly because I find individuality to be extremely important. Without it, can we really consider ourselves to be individuals?
I believe that individuality is a huge part of how society operates, and if people choose to start thinking in the hive mind, society as we know it will end. There will be no more creativity, and that would be horrible. We need to stop what we're doing, and fast, if we want to be able to fix this mess.
