A pretty good trigger for me is whenever I ask myself: "Is that plausible?"
How would that app work? In what way similar? I am failing to see the part worth emulating in my example.
I will definitely read this. I've been trying to find these kinds of preferences in myself for some time.
This makes me think of two kinds of moderates. It is not literally about conformity but we can find a good criterion for conformity/independent thinking in there: Looking at their opinion spectrum and seeing if they are too smooth and/or short tailed to come from mostly one person.
I'd guess you can try to find accidental members for most groups.
If you yourself are an accidental member of a group with a strong identity you might feel much less belonging than others. You might even be surprised to be counted as a member as others see the (accidental) fit and it means little to you.
More markers for self observing conformity would be quite useful.
It is harder than expected not to recycle from known instances. I had to totally avoid physics and markets to feel like finding not remembering examples.
I come up blank on a regular basis when thinking about the usefulness of sharing something.
Useful content tends to teach me a model or enable me to built one.
I'd love to have even a bad heuristic (for not totally obvious cases) of this problem.
Thanks for disclosing.
I feel this should be part of this kind of post. Not knowing exactly before reading is helpful though.
