I believe there are real issues that need addressing rather than chasing a problem that doesn’t exist.
A society that encourages #passivity and #conformity, reinforced by #propaganda portraying #Japan as “special”, produces few individuals who practice critical thinking at an institutional level.
Japan sees every situation as a nail because it only knows how to wield a hammer. Not solving real issues.

Om Malik: "As the technology industry became the cultural zeitgeist, it became necessary to advertise to the world that you were part of the tech set. And the easiest way to do so was through a uniform."
What Malik fails to note in this article is that dress has always signalled that you belong to the group:
"Grey suited business men pissing against the wall."
It is just, in this time of individual truth, it is more insidious.

Dissenting comes at a cost.
Doing the right thing is often punished.
Lots of people live in situations in which their reality and the group reality do not align. #conformity #orders #responsibility #obey

“It’s hard being pissed with a nice car and a good job. Fed up on filet medallions and swimming in chilled martinis. We know what we think and our life here is our reward for thinking it.”

"Always remember that conformity is where tomorrow's greatness goes to die." - Futurist Jim Carroll

I've long suggested that one of the best ways to align with the future is through this thinking: when everybody is running one way, run the other way!
Be the contrarian. The hole in the bucket, the square peg with a bunch of round holes, the one who says "why not?' when everyone else is saying 'why?'
We are on Day 17. Yesterday, we looked at the terrifying math of the future—the sheer scale of change that is coming. 1-2-4-16-64 vs. 1-2-3-45.
When faced with that kind of overwhelming scale, the natural human instinct is to feel overwhelmed. And I am willing to admit that one reaction I see in common with all of my audiences is that this feeling is universal. I've been doing text-message-based polling from the stage for over 15 years, and one overwhelmingly consistent attitude is that people feel universally overwhelmed by the speed of the future.
So they try to avoid it. They try to fit in. They take the cautious route.
They choose the comfortable over discomfort.
The result? When we feel a need for comfort, to fit in, to follow the herd instinct, we try to be like everyone else. We look for safety in numbers. Case in point: we look at our competitors and say, "Well, they are doing AI this way, so we should too." Korn Ferry made this observation about AI: "Among the most expensive keeping-up-with-the-Joneses games in corporate history."
Need more proof? We seek out "best practices," which is usually just a fancy word for "copying the average."
I rest my case.
In a linear world, fitting in was a survival strategy. You survived by being a cog that fit perfectly into the machine.
In an exponential world, conformity is a death sentence.
Here's why: read the full post at the link below.

The story of Oblio has defined much of Futurist Jim Carroll’s approach to life.
Tatterhood is a fairytale with mixed messages. One interpretation is popular. I discuss another.

Corrosion of Conformity’s Next Album Will Have a “Brilliant Concept” Says Bassist Bobby Landgraf

Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking — and that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority. The consensus of all serves as a proof for the correctness of “their” ideas.
Erich Fromm (1900-1980) American psychoanalyst and social philosopher
The Art of Loving, ch. 2 (1956)

A quotation from Henry Commager
What happens when a state tries to purge its state universities or a community tries to purge its public schools of alleged subversives? […] What happens is the demoralization and eventual corruption of the school system.
This is not a momentary or even temporary affair; it is something the consequences of which may be felt for years. The search for subversives results in the intimidation of the independent, the original, the imaginative, and the experimental-minded. It discourages independence of thought in teachers and students alike. It discourages the reading of books that may excite the suspicion of some investigator or some Legionnaire. It discourages the discussion of controversial matters in the classroom, for such discussion may be reported, or misreported, and cause trouble. It creates a situation where first-rate minds will not go into teaching or into administration and where students therefore get poor teaching.
In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience. In the long run it will create a generation not only deprived of liberty but incapable of enjoying liberty.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1953-02-21), “Is Freedom Really Necessary?” Saturday Review

It’s a stark truth: harassment is often the cheapest method to enforce control when arguments fail. They know it's wrong, but they rationalise it by playing the victim to maintain power. Stand firm for civil liberty.
