Our world is a confused muddle of sameness, difference, and conformity. Your workplace is likely a great example of what we see everywhere else around the world. It is a place where WE dominates. It is a place where ME is cocooned. It is place where an ELITE rules.
Up until an individual is 5 to 7 years old he or she wears the label ME. He or she is lovable, unique, selfish, detached, and a possible outlier. These are the golden years in a life for individualism, unorthodoxy, privacy, novelty, and fantastic dreaming. Not one of these precious "darlings" is part of the ELITE. Not one of these precious "darlings" is a member of a trade UNION. Not one of these precious "darlings" is a poster child for COMPROMISE.
After an individual reaches 7 years old the WE coalition begins a life-long process of training him or her in the ways and means of not being ME. The first and foremost lesson is that he or she must always find a way to compromise with WE. Any dispute on the playground is no longer a "fair fight" between the rights or ME and the power of WE. That is why some kids with a strong sense of ME often pick up their bat and ball and leave any game that is ruled by WE. However. Once a kid learns to COMPROMISE he or she is fodder for the collectives. Once a kid learns to COLLABORATE he or she is fodder for the rules of inclusion. And once a kid learns learns to be SELFLESS he or she is fodder for the moral virtue of togetherness.
The battle between WE and ME has raged forever. And over Centuries the balance of power has sometimes favoured WE over ME and sometimes the force has been with ME not WE.
But.... Here is some late breaking news. The consensually united ELITE has swept aside both WE and ME. The ELITE now rule both WE and ME. The ELITE have the upper hand because they control the power levers in government, banking, global trade, technology, education institutions, etc. For example the sameness we experience when we travel is a sign that the ELITE are firmly in control of WE and ME. Under the rule of the ELITE the lack of difference in thinking about Climate Change, population movements, social virtues, central banks power, etc is a sure-and-certain sign that the novelty of ME has been cocooned.
