That is what we are, social creatures. This condition is our greatest comfort and our greatest vulnerability.
My radical individualism is not against our enjoyment of being social creatures, but this value system suggests that we spend more time alone than with others, and that individual-living is proper, fulfilling, and what God wants us to do as mature, adult human beings.
I have known for decades that we are born wicked, that Satan exists, and that he rules this world. Far and away his most effective tool for gaining control of people and keeping sway over them is to threaten to withhold social rank and connections to those that dissents from living by his wicked ways, as ordered by him to do.
People live to belong, to be popular, to enjoy social rank as joiners and insiders ever on the make to enhance their social standing. They will do most anything to get there and stay there.
This is well-known by the children of darkness and their master: threaten most people with being cast out of the group with complete isolation and decline of social standing, unless they continue to mouth the party line, and most people will embrace sin and desert the few individualist children of light, to curry favor with worldly elite practitioners of sinful ways..
