It is as if most humans lack an inner compass, a set of principles, a solid value system.
It is as if humans are robots, that fulfil their given role as if they were programmed to do so.
Our institutions, companies, political parties, etc. are these functions that humans slip into and in robot-like fashion execute their expected role like clockwork.
The free thinkers / big picture thinkers, humanity‘s heroes seem to be so rare.
