Fossil conformer

Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable.For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told-and become upset if they are exposed to a different view.the characteristics human trait is not awareness but conformity..other animals fight for territory or food, but uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their beliefs.
The reason is that beliefs guide behavior , which has evolutionary importance among human beings.But at a time when our behavior may well lead us to extinction.
We are stubborn ,self destructive conformists.Any other views of our species is just self delusion.By Michael Crichton
I’ve to agree to some extent that our human unwillingness to change cited by Mr Crichton
will lead us to a major catastrophe in light of our lack of energy supply in the near future.
Though I’m a cautious optimist that we will not go the way of dinosaurs given our shorter history and ingeniuty of men, mass dieoff is something that’s a possible scenerio too.
