beccaelizabetham reading an old comment thread about underlying values in a generation ship and one commenter is having an argument about individualism vs conformity while the other is having an argument about individualism vs collectivism/co-operation. Do not yet know if either has noticed.
Enforced fitting of the boxes, with each individual striving for their individual betterment and suffering individual setbacks, is conformity+individualism. Creative self expression or inventing new boxes, but automatically thinking of team or group efforts and rewards, is individualism+collectivism. Yesno? The words, they is slippery.
