The cult of the individual

In all sincerity, I’ve had “the individual” up to here [Points to above the head or so]. The ideology of the individual has been taken to such extremes nowadays that it is become actually impossible to communicate anything of importance. People just assume you’re on the game of trying to make yourself sound special, making them free to dismiss anything that doesn’t automatically flatter their views of themselves. This ideology is killing the life of the mind. Everything is going down the plughole in honour of this cult of the individual.

 I'm all for actual individualism.
