Maybe read up on Spinoza and Taoism, like the Tao Te Ching. I'm a pantheist. So god=nature=universe, and we're part of it. Like an apple tree apples, this planet peoples!
By nature I don't just mean me. I mean seeing the whole world as an interconnected and interdependent organism. All is one and one is all.
I can further explain, I suppose. I don't really care for excessive vanity. People and their main character syndromes. They become so obsessed, as you say, with fitting in. Being a member to some sort of click or grasping onto things (ideologies) for the sake of identity... Which is almost always paired with some kind of intense disdain for some particular out group(like jocks v. Nerds, whites v. Immigrants, Catholic v. Protestant v. Atheist, left v right, etc). People that just constantly regurgitate sayings from pop culture (or even the Bible) are often insufferable.
Hive mind mentalities. People that aren't really finding themselves, nor their people. They're just conforming to something comfortable, I suppose. Anything preferable to loneliness?
Great examples: maralago face, most religious people, clicks, Reddit, tbf most social media, etc.
Uh. None of those rituals are natural. That shit is as natural as a clown or circus. That's mostly just animal(human) abuse... Like a Barnum & Bailey circus!
Pave Paradise is reference to a song... Originally by Joni Mitchell titled Big Yellow Taxi. Perhaps the lyrics will make my point more comprehensible? Give it a listen and tell me whatcha think. It's similar to Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds in sentiment.
