So many people deal in tropes and in using people they already know as benchmarks for society and it's highly destructive to modern life.
Even POTUS 46 would commonly say "I used a guy once" in describing how he approached public policy that governed millions of people and even in matters relating to world issues which completely undermines the principle that people can be completely different in ideology, culture, biologically and many other ways.
Social media as well as a lot of modern software (including AI) so often cater(s) to a fixed ideal that everyone has the one same path to what they want and need and that that can be scripted, which defies any meaningful and fulling outcome to implementing one service for the entire world.
This is the new anti-intellectualism, the ideal that we know who people are within our own individual limited/blind/biassed understanding and that people can be predictable, and that the world can be defined in fixed terms.
We make assumptions that we are the norm, and anyone who deviates is abnormal, whereas we should encourage and be aware of originality when it's positive. We're ignoring innovators and people who bend the rules these days at an alarming rate, and we're labeling everyone who doesn't think like the "hive mind" as "abnormal" and "crazy". Don't get me wrong though, there are some truly crazy people out there, but the ones that are strict concerning what proper behavior is are also just as dangerous to us if you ask me.
Great title for a book. No relation to the author here, but my interest was captivated based on the title alone. Thanks.
