Has anyone picked up any children's books lately?

Everything you see, for children, is about being like the rest of the herd. Not being independent of thought or spirit. Everyone needs to be like everyone else, and be LIKED by everyone else.

I have watched literature change dramatically over the last 30 years. When I was a kid growing up, there were stories about individuals striking out against the grain, and now, everyone is fighting the urge to be independent, in order to help the rest of the group.

People wonder why schools are failing to produce critical thinkers, and intelligent children. I have the answer. When a child is told that they must be like everyone else, it's a pass for them to be stupid, just like the rest of the herd. When I use the word herd, it's the truth. People are herd animals, they aren't individuals anymore. Everything is a team effort, and here's the real kicker, there's no incentive to do something extraordinary.

The schools are where all of this nonsense has started and for at least the last 35 years, we've had nothing but betrayal at the hands of the educational system.

You want change, throw out every book your child reads that smacks of the herd mindset. Make them read REAL books about real people that will inspire them to be better than the herd.

People are both social and individual beings otherwise we wouldn't have lived together in groups since the beginning of human history.

We're social, without question. However, our methods of social interaction more resemble the pack mentality than the herd mentality. We have hierarchies, and we buck for position, and if consigned to a position aren't relegated to it forever, we try to climb again at opportune moments. Herds, you're born into it and your identity extends only as far as is necessary to distinguish you as a mother/father/protector and little else. Packs are social with a strong bent towards individualism, herds are the opposite (collectivist). Even the Chinese distinguish themselves individually from others in how they dress, act, laugh, etc. and they social climb as well, and they're the most conformist people on the planet. They can't even begin to match the behavior of a cow herd, socially.

Well now you want to talk historic. In those days people grouped with like minded individuals.

Not forced to be around those we did not wish to be with. We may have to interact with others during the day but that should be the end of it.
