In every form of society, some groups are disenfranchised. When a society errs on the side of individualism, the weakest or most inactive people are marginalized. When it errs on the side of collectivism, the strongest, most able and driven people are thwarted. Try to imagine which of these groups is more likely to fight back and win. If history has taught (some of) us anything, it is that this is a false dichotomy; that all extremes are horrific. By far, the greatest share of evil in the world comes from overcorrection -- people assuming that, if one thing is so bad, its opposite must be good. And, so, the pendulum of history swings, from one catastrophe to another. Each generation overcompensating, raising its children and forming its institutions in a reactionary fervor, only to wind up in the same situation which originally inspired the backlash which it was lashing back against. Until we can compromise and find a middle way, this will continue indefinitely. We should take Hegel's synthesis and not Kierkegaard's either/or as our guiding model.

What is the purpose of transitioning to black & white? Why not just keep the color profile and cut to a different angle?

You can have an I attitude and still care for Your community I always thought of individualism as you being from the group you think differently you don't exist to please everything that group the group wants rather you help your fellow man on a individual level I don't wanna have A hive mind and think the group I prefer freethinking

Individualism vs Collectivism is a false dilemma.

[diamondmeeple]

Well, would been nice to hear your thoughts about men compared to women. If the women tend to pick collectivism, and that they move a society vs this... the more power they get.

[mariekirby]
