Why is it people sometimes act like a collective conscious?

Question

I.E. Stand in line? Go out to eat all at once? Ask the same questions? Like the same movies? Do the latest craze?

Answer 1

We, as a society, have been trained since birth to simply "Go with the flow", "Don't rock the boat". Given sociatal formalities, we are subconciously preconditioned to a finite range of responses to specific events or occourances in our lives. Individuality has become the endangered species amidst the spectrum of choice available to us all, in every moment. The need to 'Fit in' often times will superceed your spirits true disire, whatever that may be. The ability to quite the external world and listen to the muted voice echoing from your soul is a skill not taught nor acknowledged within todays society. The reason we all act as if we are all ONE conciousness is that WE ARE one conciousness, one collective entity unto ourselves. The sooner we realize this, the sooner WE can change our World.

Answer 2

Probably because we're all in this together. But I think people too just do what everyone else is doing and don't have any originality and are too afraid to be unique. Me, I can't stand following the crowd, created my own BA major--I couldn't stand following a standard plan that thousands before me followed because they just did what was there. The stand in line thing is done out of politeness and we learn that in school. Many times people go out to eat all at once because this is the time for a meal. Sometimes we are thinking the same things and come up with the same question. Doing the latest craze is to feel hip and part of the current happenings--maybe fit it and again not stand out as different in their minds. Sometimes people just act like cattle though. It's kind of funny.
