The worst thing happening to us right now—and something the internet is to blame for—is the fact that all the young people now behave the same way. Different cultures have merged into one single global culture with its own behavioral patterns in which diversity is very undesirable.
Since everyone is chronically online, deviating from the newly established and currently valid norms of behavior, people are very afraid of personal expression because it is considered a deviation.
Oddballs today are not people who are weird, but those who do not behave in a very specific way, those whose aesthetic preferences differ from the global canon, etc. It has never been more necessary for us to be weird, it is a responsibility.
