@theliverdoc It explains the fanaticism for people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson. Young Men need purpose and a sense of belonging to the present society. We need a healthy version of feminism for men . All that men held sacred for centuries does not carry the same meaning anymore.
It’s not that you should be principled & ethical because by that you will win. If that were so, we wouldn’t need ethics to be ethical. Selfishness would do the job. Being ethical has to be treated as an end in itself, something you do even at the cost of not winning.
Human tendency to conform, especially when in large groups, is terrifying. Propaganda machines leverage this throughout human history.
The way out is to think freely, detached from the divisive narratives of the day that masquerade as universal truths.
This often feels lonely.
