    **Disclaimer: this comes across as a 'minus the religion' (not so) appraisal at face value and voices concern about default values and also against conforming without evaluating, which leads to question authority.
    • Majority masquerades as authority and succeeds in fooling anyone whose enthusiasm isn't determined
      • Majority itself, for me, became legitimacy. Even if apathetic, the sheer volume of “non-committal apathy-evident social no-show” overrides individual authenticity and presented me with a choice – at every possible opportunity for years? Tapping my fingers and waiting...

      • Continuance in this game tends to depend less on truth and more on alignment with the evident crowd. Accepting a less individuality-fuel-bound social democracy (where the majority-as-authority has already won, thus individuality is unimportant) is the only voice on the radio.
    • Individuality Upended
      • When the majority capsize my emotional inertia, my legitimacy is revoked, losing my soul when they force me, only able to concede to fate's predetermined choice-less and voiceless subservient answer.

      • You’re forced to either insert another coin (prove yourself again) or accept apathy as the new permit to proceed, not choosing to defer even from that which is logically less emotionally resonant with family, with work, with faith, and with law-bound governance.
    • Apathy as Currency
      • In this rubric, apathy isn’t absence — it’s the dominant token. The price of maintaining individuality is too expensive and whoever is wealthy enough to speak is the only dissenting voice.

      • To continue without interruption, you must adopt the apathetic stance, which paradoxically becomes the most efficient way to remain “eligible”, without individuality, and without choice intact.
    Generational Transactional Reality
    • Indicating your choices through your purchases demonstrates individuality to those around you.

    • Being able to afford the choice-intact reality usually comes at the cost of time – time at your occupation and whilst every interaction is transactional within the voiceless continuum.
    I noticed many of my interactions did not coordinate to function at potential. Objectively, this is problematic for efficiency in my emotional health and wellbeing, whether peer-sourced or surrogated and subsidized from extra-curricular origin.
    • Constant invalidation thematically: Each counter-positive interaction becomes a time in life in which and where authenticity is interrupted and something seemingly congruent with preference over priority is forced by voicing over, overtaking, and signaling that less importance is accepted to be assigned to needs of an emotional nature that aren't naturally satisfied.
    • There is a disparity or a deficit thus inherent to the personalities of the undesirable underwritten by a Jim Crow style (not because of ethnic preference necessarily but operating with similar presence and preference intact) system of enforcing the logic of interaction, eroding the principle that emotional wellbeing is a priority.
    • Damaged momentum: Emotional momentum is eroded by repeated collisions with inauthentic, apathetic-majority conclusions.
    • Result: Autonomy struggles to survive in a system where legitimacy is defined by other in numbers, not depth, where copying the status quo is damaging mental wellness and the behavior perpetuates itself with its own Jim Crow system of reward.
    In essence, this is a social physics of authenticity:
    • Authenticity = friction.
    • Majority apathy = momentum.
    • Eligibility = the permit to keep moving but invalidated at every interval it's expensive to continue choosing at the risk of categorical defiance from superiors, authority, or law.
    The tragedy is that individuality is often slowed, capsized, or invalidated by the sheer weight of apathetic transactions at the individual who is thus inundated with transactional spam, voiceless and rendered thus ambiguous among the majority's nameless direction. We become proverbially a failed agency unable to mimic the echoes of things that feature our ambitions in the din of a future processing toward nothingness – no song, no identity, only hopelessness as majority as a false sense of security.

    Another disclaimer - this sounds like I'm critiquing faith or religious observance. I'm not and also not accusing or implicating conformity - this intends to relieve a social mechanics that doesn't reward imagination or expression because it answers by eliminating and doesn't follow with lead, example, or mentor.

    The conclusion ends up choosing not choice. Perhaps that is by design so that our 'cookies' don't set our declination without thought and deliberation, then decisive intention.

    EDIT: The intention is to 'question default answers' in a way that includes our origins (not erases them or contradicts them), their validity, and firmly spirituality to allow for a more provisional pivot away from a less informed majority sentiment. 'Intact' is the better answer for religion, conformity, collectivism, and modernity as a less 'groupthink' more 'imagination incorporated' future-bound and educated majority.
