wanna know how we outlived the mammoths?

I'll tell you:

Tribes.

Watch out for them, bro.

No CTA, story or cool quote here.

Just a warning.

The “social flow” in people is real.

It’s the energy that gets you caught up in the flow of community.

Just like water, this energy can flow, or it can crash.

You NEED to make sure you’re mentally distanced from the group(s.)

Never, EVER let a group influence your thinking for bad. Don’t get caught up in the emotional moment of the tribe.

This is happening everywhere. In self help communities, with teenage girls and boys, religions, and they’re all going to shit.

The solution?

Use social flow for good.

Allow the spirit of the group to uplift yourself and your work. Don’t listen to the fools who call all communities bad — but don’t listen to the brainwashers who force you into tribes.

Stay wary and worship rationality.

It’s the best thing you can do for yourself.

…Alright, maybe one cool quote:

“Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, people, and ages (peers) it is the rule.”
  — Fredrich Nietzsche

Fine, I’ll give you a CTA as well.

~~~ ACTION STEP ~~~
Think about how the group influences or has influenced your decision-making about characters, ideologies, beliefs or other people. Don’t try to lie to yourself about this incredibly true phenomenon. Instead accept it, and find ways you can change it.

Powers to you,
