A question I'd like to hear your thoughts on
    #19252156 - 12/09/13 07:48 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Why do we follow the paths of others?


--------------------
Careful, though your mind may be over matter, matter is all we really know.
"Or is it?"

The problem with intelligence is that it fosters arrogance, and arrogance suffocates intelligence. True intelligence however, bites holes in the bag.

For the same reason you follow a  trail when lost in the woods.  It's easier and you think it will take you out of the woods.

If we do it's because those paths are perceived as profitable in some way.

If I give a good enough answer, someone might follow me!

So I'll shut up.

Yes but running through the bush is so much more fun, s much more adventurous. It gives life that oomph. I feel like so many die saying "was that it?" Instead of "phew what a ride".

for free gains as positive constant way ... if you use something else that exist already you can be free more while seeking to conceive that thing objectively for abstract constant fact use
that is how this way ends is to kill the sources .. when the followers have everything they need


this shows how right beings are of conscious efforts, the efforts are not free that is how conscious become existing

the effort is about respecting else existence right on the same bases of being else .. free

that is how the opposite to respect others or else is evil being

because else respect so a certain value of being true, is everything you might be a second or more ..

so out of else respect, there is only negative inferiority infinite ways possibility ... below nothing being free else too

Because we are lost and cannot find our own way.. I usually just start walking in some direction though..

I like to brush the leaves, and deek in and out of the bush, while appreciating a path now and then

There is actually an anthropological answer to this question.  I will try to be brief:

Once population pressure reached a certain level in prehistoric societies, humans had to adopt agriculture to feed everyone.  (Not because it was somehow "better" -- it was much harder!)  One key component of agriculture is irrigation.  Well, someone (or a small committee) had to be in charge of the irrigation system.  These were the first "leaders."  As civilization grew, and there was even more specialization, one sees a hierarchy emerge.  In hunter-gatherer and small-scale gardening societies, there was no hierarchy at all -- it was purely egalitarian, and there were no bosses, chiefs, lords, priests, CEO's, or anything of the sort.  Once irrigation became established (by necessity in certain regions), one sees a shift from "horizontal" egalitarian societies to "vertical" stratified ones.

And that is where leaders really come from.

Those asteroids should have never dumped that water here.  It's all their fault. :mad2:  In the end we will have come full circle and again find that water is the major player in human corruption. :haha:

Not all who are lost wander either.
