Why being too social is hazardous to your brain

Life is all abt balance. When we are constantly marinating in the maelstrom of others all the time. Without us even realizing it, we will end up seeking the constancy of validation and approval and respect from others. This is the reason stupid people spend alot of money to impress people who they barely know. Worse of all since the socially invested man never once bothered cultivating a space in his mind that he can truly call his very own….it is not so different from living in a house where there are no locks on the doors….everyone can come in and out and some will even squat in his ‘personal’ space. This only serves to dilute further whatever chances he has to develop such a thing as a truly free and independent mind. At some point, the socially invested fool will just be mentally and spiritually and culturally assimilated by the mindless glob and end up exactly like everyone else and without him even realizing it his credo and that of the herd becomes one of the same reality. This is how individualism and critical thinking and the will to power dies and the process of how the automaton is manufactured. For a man to be truly free, he must strive to be comfortable in loneliness faraway from the corrosive influence of the herd. Loneliness is not a character flaw, it is only mentalscape where real character is forged by truing the mind.

All great men seek out loneliness. They are all to some degree naturally detached. This is not arrogance or false pride, it is the wisdom to know what is true from false, worthy from useless.
