Comments are for the page: Personal value

Sounds a bit off

Yet we also know we aren’t really ordinary, because there are moments when we recognize our vast individual potential. No matter how hard we try to fit in, we secretly know that our innermost possibilities do not lie in going along with society. People who present themselves as ordinary are pretending to be herd animals—but no one is really fooled.

That paragraph sounds like some guru-stuff you’re arguing against elsewhere. We all “secretly” know and there are two “really”…

As for me, I think many people are indeed herd animals, just following the rules, and there’s no secret talent to be discovered in them.

there’s no secret talent

Thanks, this will be helpful when I revise the page. This half-baked placeholder text is from 2006… Maybe by 2036 I will have time to replace it with something better!
