The illusion prevails that we are individuals and different from everybody else, wereas in fact,, we all do exactly the same thing on a daily basis and can be compared to a crowd of sheep. The only difference is our individual thinking.
Do we Sam? Not everyone lives like that,not everyone looks the same, dresses the same, or lives life robotic, people have different styles, tastes cultures,hobbies interests and lifestyles.
I'm told I'm different, that the world couldn't cope with two of me blah blah, I'd quite like to be ordinary, not classified or othered, just allowed to get on with life as I am, nor do I want to be patronised, belittled or gaslit.
It's usually my nan that gives me the most grief.. lol, doesn't like it if I have red hair, or green hair.. or scruffy boots.. accuses me of having cigarette ends stuck to my bellbottoms.. it's not true.. not true!
Seems like everyone who's answered feels different, often because they're treated and told they're different, I wish others would butt out and just let us be.
I.m like everyone else .........different. if we were all the same we,d be clones, not human.lolJust look at the tiny world os mse....hardly ever get two people with exactly the same opinion.
I was referring more to our daily routines. Getting up, toileting, breakfasting, being active in one way or another, lunching, being active, getting home, dinner, leisure activity, toileting, sleep. The thinking part includes the individual action we take: food, fashion, activities, leisure, etc.
When I'm working with the homeless I'm still surprised at some of the stories they have to tell and how individual their personalities are even when brought together with so many sharing the same life circumstances.
I wonder if AI, clones or robots would work in countries where they have a much larger sense of collective identity, countries like China and less so in countries where the emphasis is on individual identities like Britain?
maybe WH.But the more I see folk with their head permanently in a phone and every device connected to the www I wonder how longer individual identities will last.
