The Significance of Numbers

So basically, I have an opinion.

The whole notion of majority rules quite unfortunately does not always sit well with me. The one thing in which I personally wish to point out is that social conventions are such examples which are inherently relative. They are always neither right nor wrong per se. In fact, I see the reason this rationale isn't always entertained because it has been so rooted in the core of society's logic that it has become part of a redundant form of common sense, so much so that an officious bystander would react to this thought with a suppressed "Oh, of course!".

But with the ongoing trend of affairs, this reasoning should more strongly be adopted. I think that one should view society from an objective point of view whereby our current era should be taken as just yet another epoch of societal evolution. There's nothing so "fixed" as social norms or "the way things work" because things that were once "fixed" eventually changed as well with the times. If one were to stand outside of the societal framework and watch its workings, these "fixed" phenomenon are merely another phase of social evolution to what appeared to be the next social equilibrium "in the queue".

During a time where women were discriminated against and do not have a place in society, the idea then was somehow ironically accepted, wasn't it? Many have been convinced then by the rationalisation of biological arguments because society had indoctrinated its inhabitants with culturally constructed beliefs. This however may not have been the case in a predominantly matriarchal society. Hence, it simply tells us that it is nothing so wrong in comprehending the possibility that developments are inevitable and that for that to take place, things are going to have to change. To denounce otherwise would seem to be prejudicially selective in continually perpetuating one's own agenda.

The amazing characteristic of having numbers is that it is capable of legitimising any forms of behaviours, be it deviant or one that radically challenges the conceptual paradigm of human morality. Should I say, therefore, that society is a neutral entity being constantly moulded anomalously into something "right", only to be "wronged" later. Is societal evolution a process of timeless correction?

So I think that majority prevails at the end of the day. Quite apart from certain issues, most consensus aren't really a terrible thing to conform to. Because, just like the rest, we are still a byproduct of the brainwashing system.
