That's what i took it to mean. While I agree that many people are sheep, I also believe it's part of human nature. I think many would argue that people who don't act in that manner are technically insane/crazy/whatever.Yes… I don't think it's sheep-like to act conventionally, conventional is conventional for a good reason- things work.
Humans are a heard/pack species, we're social creatures and only really excel in groups. Our groupishness is the source of the best things we've created- great works of architecture, massive cities etc as well as scientific advances that are actually the cumulative product of millennia of human culture (without thousands of years of human culture behind him Einstein would never have come up with relativity).
But it's also a source of some of our worst traits- mob violence, war, the fact that Paris Hilton ever became a celebrity…
I ramble. The point is that we're not "sheep", we're just "human", but some people do take the monkey-see-monkey-do thing a little too far.
As kids there's a point when all of a sudden we realize that our parents are – just people? It happens at different ages: 8? 12? Lots of rebellion because one's universe gets redefined.I think with Kyu the "parents" in the equation are teachers, politicians, priests, doctors, ultra rich "elites", that sort of thing. -But not "just people", more like "con artists" actively trying to fool you and perpetuate the myths of conventional behaviour in order to maintain the status quo.
Lots of people take that concept too literally as well. Again, there's a valid concept in that someone in a position of advantage will seek to maintain that advantage, but they take it too far and extrapolate it too widely into active conspiracies.
