We have created a society where we are encouraged to:
- respect individualism, not conformity
- challenge accepted norms, not accept the status quo
- value creative thought, not respect accumulated wisdom
- etc etc
We demean people by the use of the word "sheep" to describe those who happily follow the leader as part of a flock.
Very few have the intellectual equipment to genuinely think independently, creatively and constructively. Those less blessed with grey matter simply assume that denial of accepted wisdom will somehow elevate them above the level of the sheep community to which they really belong!
