Collective Opinion Unseen, Unspoken?

Philosophers discuss if most of our beliefs are learned from others, not created by ourselves. This affects our idea of individuality.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

People do not always remember that politics, economics, and social organisation generally, belong in the realm of means, not ends. Our political and social thinking is prone to what may be called the “administrator’s fallacy,” by which I mean the habit of looking upon a society as a systematic whole, of a sort that is thought good if it is pleasant to contemplate as a model of order, a planned organism with parts neatly dove-tailed into each other. But a society does not, or at least should not, exist to satisfy an external survey, but to bring a good life to the individuals who compose it. It is in the individuals, not in the whole, that ultimate value is to be sought. A good society is a means to a good life for those who compose it, not something having a separate kind of excellence on its own account.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Lecture (1949-01-30), “Individual and Social Ethics,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 6, BBC Radio

When I was a kid my #individuality and sense of self was expressed and explored through filling out copy paste bulletins on #Myspace with all my "have-dones" and dislikes..

Nowadays kids just have plain ol' links to entire PAGES of their personal boundaries (which have been thoughtfully crafted and are totally unique to them!).

It makes me smile to think about how young people have more access than ever to articles and knowledge teaching them about self esteem! And to see teens and kids on the internet already having these developed concepts of #healthyboundaries for themselves is just so lovely

Topiary at Levens Hall, in Cumbria. Over 350yrs of interaction between the gardener and the tree. Two completely different kinds of will and determinism. Co-construction at its best.

When we define…individuals as cognitive entities, we are also defining them as intentional entities. …evolution now becomes a phenomenon driven largely by the intentions of the cognitively individual actors. …the organism and individual are reunited into a cognitive whole that both lives with desire and evolves with purpose.

…the individual is a cognitive being that has a sense of itself as something distinct from its environment. The sense of individuality need not be a conscious sense of self.
