it depends on what you mean by redundant, or what you are referring to,,,,,,,, in habits, sometimes people are stuck in a rut,,,,,, but also sometimes the habits give them security,,,, redundant routines can be usefull in life,, though you need to retain the ability to feel ok if you change your routine,,,,,,, we all have redundant things we do,,,,,, whether in speaking or in habits,,,,,
if you mean redundant as in exceeding what is necessary, that i guess is really a matter of personal opinion and choice,, as to it being redundant,,,,,, our choices of many, many tv channels is probably an example

I was going to go off on a philosophical rant about habit and routine being humanity's version of instinct: that its quite natural and expected..... (assuming that you mean repetitive).

Some people are redundant because not everybody is the same. It would be redundant if we were.

Its interesting that the word "pattern" is a creative term but "redundant" isn't although both are created through repetition.

Or do you mean the word literally: "no longer needed or useful"?

That is like asking the question, "What is the meaning of life?" Words have meaning, not life. Its just that we humans, with our associative minds, take words out of context and move them around. This is a good thing since its where all our ideas come from (but also bad for same reason).

Just have to recognize the difference. So let me ask, "When has any person ever been necessary?" (other than in the movie Its a Wonderful Life.) In other words, are we, with our associative minds, just contrasting life with our vision of how we think life ought to be?

They're not creative. They repeat things because they don't have what it takes to do something different.

I would also argue that laziness is a factor. Redundancy is easy, you get into a groove and stay there. Getting out takes energy, and, if my experiences are the norm, most people are simply too lazy and unmotivated to break routine.

I feel that fear plays a large part. People are afraid to step outside of their comfort zone into that area that is unknown. It is much easier to continue repeating rather than to accept change. Of course, there can be no growth without change. It is very sad that some people would rather button themselves up into what they perceive to be a safe world, when in fact they are causing more damage than if they stepped into the unknown.

Scientists documenting the human genome report a large number of stupid genes in human DNA.Apparently it's the glue that holds us together.

didn't you just ask this question?

It's because they either think someone didn't hear what they said, they didn't hear what they said, or they liked how it sounded so much, they wanted to say it again.
