    My personal theory is that there’s a biological split in our species. Like how some people taste soap when they eat cilantro and others don’t. I think some of us are wired to need and want a leader and others do not. The evolution of not needing a leader has not fully propagated to the whole species yet.

      This is an interesting theory and begs the question… From an evolution standpoint, which one would be more likely to win out?

        It looks like every 20’s we have the leader thing win against the freedom thing. Then the leader kind of turns against the followers and the freedom thing resurfacss agqin. But since the freedom thing needs a lot of responsibility thing and people eventually fail to secure themselves the leader thing naturally arises again.

        Edit: fixed a thing.

      An interesting thought, but just to offer an alternative viewpoint: This is precisely the type of false logic and pseudoscientific justification that others would use to subjugate you & I.

      People know what they are taught, and for the most part, quirks & oddities (and cilantro) aside, we’re all mostly the same despite our skin color or where we come from, who we love, etc. We’re just shaped differently by our respective environments.
