    I worked in state government for 28 years. Often I was told I was not a team player. I took it as a compliment. When someone would say this to me, usually a college educated boss. I would listen to their stories of when they were in college and the stunts they pulled, some illegal. I would tell them I learned at an early age to do my own thinking. Then I would relate a story I read about a fraternity party where they would get a girl drunk then all have sex with her then ask him is that what being a teem player is. A couple of their stories hit close to that. I would ask if that was your daughter would you want someone that thinks for himself and maybe gets her out of that situation or would you want a teem player. There are benefits to being raised in the country. Friends are few and far between. We learned to think for our selves to work things out and there was no crowd to follow. I can't say I got moved up to higher positions as quickly as the ass kissers I mean teem players but I don't regret it

Also the 50% that wants to be slaves will fight anyone that try force them into the freedom they do not want because they do not want freedom and is really scared of the people that think for themselves and want freedom.

    as ive grown, and accepted that my own knowledge and understanding is valid, i only now fully realize that almost everyone feels this way to an extent. im autistic, so i think that amplifies it for me and those similar. you already feel, perceive, and connect things outside of a collective norm. being in such a strange time for humanity, it just gets so overwhelming sometimes. i thought id find happiness once i could function in society as expected, but then i didnt. it helped for only a moment, but it felt like playing pretend. its like there's another voice inside me telling me to be cautious of my ties to these things, and question why the world is the way it is. especially knowing there are so many people who see how realistically, if thrown suddenly into this world, with no outside influence, we would not accept it as is.

I prefer direct yes or no answers instead of prancing around with, maybees and perhaps'. It's fine to be nuanced, but choosing both would be the same as choosing neither. It's not a stretch to assume most people on either side aren't 100% on board with everything their party represents, and that room for nuance is what breathes debates. Not arguments

On the available evidence the answer to that is No; you ask more of yourself and others than they/you have, so integrity-however understood, is not exactly on the menu for dreaming machines; they are*never* one, but rather legion.

    As someone who grew up in a culture of "high social conformity", I learned how to fight against consensus thought by age 12, while also not just outright rebelling against order (which would've been to my detriment). The last decade has revealed to me just how valuable of an experience and skill that resistance turned out to be.
    Though the saddest part is now watching the entire globe fall into that same level of toxic conformity I recognized as a kid, but they all choose to remain ignorant to their toxic conformity. People are indeed so easily deceived.

Its truly frightening the way the majority would hand over mine and your freedom for them to have a sense of safety. Even some that I thought damn well knew better and would fight like hell, did the exact opposite. I have been shown who folks REALLY are and I guess if anything I know now not to say too much to those people and to keep my eye on them. It makes me think something bigger than any "conspiracy" theory I may subscribe to may very well be at play here. I will NEVER be the person who goes with the flow without analyzing the reality of any situation. I have ALWAYS been the one with the unpopular opinion and a introvert that doesn't need acknowledgement or recognition from society in any shape or form. Public image is LIMITED. People put forth a lot of effort to avoid facts,truth and reality ....I will NEVER understand this behavior.

Because if you are willing to lie to yourself, what's stopping you from lying to everyone else?! The other core tenet is: When we are wrong we promptly admit it, " meaning as soon as you screw up or lie, get that out in the open so it isn't festering inside and inspiring more lying....

      I was thinking about that but the last few years have been so complicated compared to the story in the video. We don’t know whether the virus was natural, released by accident or released on purpose somehow. We don’t know whether those at the top are orchestrating things, who’s involved etc. (not just with covid). Everyone had their own agenda during covid, everyone using it to their own advantage. Drug companies are still ‘advertising’ their vaccines through ridiculous news stories. Anyone who objects to anything is immediately labelled a conspiracy theorist.
      I don’t see how we can have a true opinion because we just don’t have the facts. Best just not to get involved. The person I now live with has tv on all day and the level of manipulation is astounding…it’s just non-stop. I don’t have such a kind view of my fellow humans as the theorists included in this video.

The authority of the wealthy &/or the majority. The most sick & unnatural authority, a materialistic authority.

Only 10 - 30% of the population want freedom and even less is willing to fight for their freedom, the rest just follow the flow and is ok with either way... Also the 50% that wants to be slaves will fight anyone that try force them into the freedom they do not want because they do not want freedom and is really scared of the people that think for themselves and want freedom.

One curious person gets up and takes a look, feels the warm door, gathers his belongings and calmly exits the building from the other side of the hall. The rest wait patiently, passively. Eventually a couple of other people also leave. Only then do the majority hesitantly get up and then try to rush out in a panic.

The instructor then told everyone that I was the only one who got it right and then people started confessing that they noticed the weight difference but said they didn't because they didn't want to be the odd one out and gaslighted themselves into thinking they must be wrong if everyone else is saying something different. I was the only one who had the integrity to say they were all wrong. It was hella creepy. I was about in the middle when the bricks were being passed so all the people after me chose to single me out and bully me basically because all of the people before me had said the bricks were the same weight. I was also the only goth so I'm sure that contributed to their decision. They saw me as a freak and an outcast already.
