Who are normies? What do they believe?

IMO the normie mind can be explained by the following 10 normie commandments.

1. Individual human action has low or no effect on the world.
2. Mainstream news is mostly honest and reflects reality.
3. Institutions are trustworthy
4. Thinking via convention is the only worthwhile thought pattern.
5. Comfort is the highest pursuit in life, both physical and psychological.
6. Consumption is desirable, creation is not.
7. Authority figures are legitimate and deserve respect.
8. Conventional career paths are the most valuable in our society.
9. You can’t predict what will happen next.
10. Risk is intolerable and should be treated as such.

I don't disagree with any of this but think it can be simplified: 1. Follow the herd in all things (because, for example, injecting yourself - let alone your children - with a novel genetic agent that the developers described as "building the plane while it was alreay flying" is *insanely risky*....

Normie's don't exist. No one trusts the system anymore. But we all behave as though we do.

Accurate, but not as commandments. Commandments are written to be understood by their intended recipients.

The normie is he who occupies the dead center of the Overton window on any and every issue. They are sardines. They will ultimately share the same fate.
