on snowflakes and fingerprints

Diversity must be embraced. Genetic variation to produce unique and highly fit individuals is the mechanism in play. So let us not think for a moment that the world works just like a scene from the Clone Wars where the goal is to create exact copies of dispensable star troopers. That's why in a social unit there must be a leader, doctor, plumber, teacher, grave digger, etc. And in the olden, feudal times, apprenticeship was taken into serious account...specialization. That's why right now, I'm slowly becoming unattracted to fads or mass reproduced clothing or aping...it's a sign of complacency, of laziness...to question, to scrutinize. It's a sign of the decline of one's individuality. Think outside the box. Be the piece of the puzzle you were meant to be.
