gollark: I really think you're overestimating how much people actually care. There have been various experiments regarding obedience and conformity which suggest that people will basically just do whatever people around them do.
gollark: Consider dying, for instance. People dying is quite bad for a variety of reasons, but because people can't really avoid it it got cognitive-dissonanced into being "good" in a ton of philosophies.

gollark: I mean, I think people can get used to a lot of things with sufficient time.
gollark: The amount of often-conflicting ones is not really a point in their favour.
