New modes of conformity arise among people who strive to be
'themselves', to be 'better' people, better informed, more knowledgable
Out of this arises new forms of dependence as people insecure in their identities turn to all sorts of self-appointed experts
(think of all those 'experts' wheeled out to give two penny worth
on any breaking news). There they sit, we listen supinely, if one is credulous enough, as these experts shrouded in the pseudo patina of 'expertise' espouse their views.
It is well to remember that all opinions are just theories.
