I think there is a good bit of psychology involved there because I believe you can not generally come to that conclusion without a certain view of how people decide what to do.I am not interested in applying psychology to feel comfortable with an undesirable situation. That may be fine as long as the situation can't be changed.
I can't understand why you are not. Don't you think it can help to make things better?
What is propably less well know is that psychological experiments and thinking points to that people who are what they call authoritarian in their view of other people more often believe that pressure is the (only) way to get people to do things. Perhaps it is easy to be lead to the conclusion that pressure is necessary. For some actions it is but are the actions and thinking we want really of this type?If you consider it as _pressure_ if I voice my opinion, and want to silence me,
I do not think so. I wonder why you get that impression. Can you please tell me?
So we might as well stop. The world will become neither simpler nor more complex by us agreeing or disagreeing.
Yes, but I would be glad if you answered the question above (either here or private). I am interested in your answers because I think they matters.
