I find it interesting that this poster doesn't see the irony in the
following words:
"Well, I can't contradict your personal experience. But the critique of
conformity is pretty much accepted universally. Everyone hates the man in
the grey flannel suit, "up organizational man!" And so everyone lives
without rules."
"The critique of conformity is pretty much accepted universally..."
"Everyone hates the man in the grey flannel suit..."
You don't see social conformity embedded in these sentences? This reminds
me of an old Gary Larson comic: one black and white penguin in a sea of
black and white penguins standing up in the middle and signing, "I gotta be
me..."
Perhaps one object of critique of DoE is false individuality? We all seem
to be critiquing conformity in the same way. Nothing suspect there?
