I don't get it. Isn't the purpose of society to be in a community where you aren't the black sheep? To find other people who you share things in common (Friends, you should get some OP) so that you don't feel alienated and alone? Personally, I think anyone who tries to ostracize themself from society by trying to be the "ultimate individual" is an idiot. Though we are unique in terms of body and genetic makeup, I don't think it's any surprise that we all as a species think and act similarly, simply because that's crucial to survival so that we're all not a bunch of loners and wanderers who die off rather quickly due to lack of community.

Hey, I love objectivism, but have you seen videos of Leonard Peikoff and such?
What a nutter.

Yeah, I will agree with that. In novel, it sounds fantastic, but from what I've seen (Notably Leonard Peikoff) I've only been turned off! I hope it is just some wicked chance that his face is attributed to modern day objectivist movement, and not the proper standard operating procedure.

No I'M A SOCIALIST! *everyone chimes in Spartacus style* "NO! I AM!" "NO! I AM"
Each individual is different. With major gain in technology we have many more options to sort of customize our selves. We become different by having different events to deeply impact the way we think.
[QUOTE=Roven;16834571]The reason why we're gonna be screwed ten fold when we all become adults is because generally speaking, everyone's dumbed down into the pop culture opinion. As in, "I'm different", "I make a difference", "I'm a socialist", "There's no one else like me" and all that other crap. The idea that your life is an artistic tragedy that no one could ever understand, that you've had it hard, and so on. In all likelyhood I've heard your story several times over and could likely tell it myself just by looking at how you behave.
You are not a beautiful butterfly, you are not different to every extreme, you likely couldn't even philosophically explain what "Making a Difference" is, and if you're a girl you likely have a great interest in photography.
That whole new fad and obsession with photography and photoshop is the shallow interest in anything aesthetically appealing or interesting. All girls are "Perfect Little Messes" and "Beautiful Tragedies" and romanticized still captions of shit that has nothing to do with reality or anything else mildly important.
I'm a rare SOB myself. Hell I listen to shit from six decades ago and some of the most off the wall shit in the world, passionately political and always pissed off about something. I still know a handful of people exactly like me and it cancels out any melodramatic bullshit I'd like to drum up about how much of an individual I am.
If you faggots were anymore stupid I think our parents and guardians would just shoot us and start over with a different generation. How about some of you worthless, whiny little pricks go read some John Locke and some Orwell.[/QUOTE]
