Compromise between the two contradicting axiom-likes
In one of my previous posts, I said that the following axiom-likes contradict each other and that's where the world's misery comes from fundamentally 1st axiom-like: truth is good 2nd axiom-like: love your neighbor Human history has been a compromise between those two contradicting axiom-likes (species level) Likewise, on an individual level, an individual settles for a compromise between the two (individual level) (This compromise is not something that can be done consciously) There is a "compromise point" on the continuous spectrum between the 1st axiom-like and the 2nd axiom-like (In other words, to what degree is someone comfortable / tolerant with fewer and fewer like-minded people) 1. Someone's compromise point is located at 20% the 1st axiom-like and 80% the 2nd axiom-like He leans towards the 2nd axiom-like, so that his opinions usually follow major opinions 2. Someone's compromise point is located at 80% the 1st axiom-like and 20% the 2nd axiom-like He leans towards the 1st axiom-like, so that his opinions are not always major but are still accepted by a minor group (but with a sufficient number of people) (The more the compromise point is toward the 1st axiom-like, the more difficult it becomes to find like-minded people) The latter calls the former "NPC", feeling a sense of superiority The latter thinks that he can think independently However, the latter also is not completely a free thinker, completely free from others' opinions The latter still feels a necessity for his thoughts to be validated by others, if minor A free thinker's compromise point is located at 100% the 1st axiom-like and 0% the 2nd axiom-like He needs no validation on his thoughts by others / any minor group He is okay with literally no one agreeing with his ideas A free thinker is not "natural" Because, for one, humankind as a whole is based on a compromise between the two For two, a free thinker means an absence of the 2nd axiom-like, which is, needless to say, not natural Being a free thinker is not necessarily "better" It is a different topic
