Assimilation

And so there's a bunch of monkeymen and they're harming an isolated individual. Another person looks on, he's knows what they're doing is wrong, but there's nothing he can do. If he steps in, then he's being as unassimilated as this person being harmed and then he too will be harmed. So he keeps his mouth shut and stays in line; the threat of harm, fear, stopping him.

It would be ridiculous to do otherwise.

And so he survives.

Before him, there were others who didn't keep their mouth shut. Eventually these individuals were all killed; as assimilated/"united" groups almost always beat individuals in violence competitions.

So eventually the only people who thought for themselves kept their mouth shuts. And the best way of all to keep one's mouth shut is to not disagree, not think for one's self in the first place. In this way evolution has gone against individuality and creativity.

Although there is the fact that when two groups meet for a violence competition, the group that tolerated these "individuals" just a little bit, is likely to have an edge in innovative ways to kill. We can see that easily enough when looking at the history of man.

There is that as a positive at least.

I used to work as a scientist and I built an innovative device for sampling biological aerosols. Really something highly useful. After a vacation where I met up with some fellow vegans in Manchester I was escorted out of my workplace with no explanation thus destroying my scientific career.

So I was a case study of this.
