We could call total extreme polarization “un-mixing” (that is otherwise naturally mixing)

“Total success/total acceptance” versus “total failure/total denial/total rejection”
Rather than anything in between those extreme/polarizing spectrum ends
Which relates with erasing the middle as well as the entire rest of the spectrum except for the extreme polarities/edges

Notice how “all or nothing” style bullshit relates directly with extreme/extremism and polarizing and imbalancing and disproportionality

It’s interesting how the formal/inorganic version of “role model“ relates with “all or nothing“
As in like positioning, person/people as if you must accept and swallow and follow all of these qualities or you must accept and swallow and follow none of these qualities

So this can relate to a consent and natural inspiration versus inorganic strategy/FORCE kinda thing

…Versus a person/people being formally positioned and promoted as the model of role model/role modeling with the expectation that people disproportionate/exclusively select their qualities that which is positioned as role model, and not from that which is not positioned as role model

Maybe this relates to some of the issues/challenge also is that there is a big difference I think between the individual/people being able to pick and choose qualities that they are compelled and inspired by functioning as like informal “role model”

But you’re disqualified from positioning yourself as a role model because, again, that violates the true sourcing of the position (as needing to come naturally from and by the people)

But it’s absurd too, because you could hypothetically be a good if not great role model that is otherwise absent and unacknowledged in a compromised/unnatural populace

Role models are useful and good
To the degree they are useful and good
But you’re not/can’t be a role model if you say/act as if you are for the sake of being/reaping the benefits of being one (kinda like humility)

And maybe all of the issues/challenges with “role models + role modeling“ relate directly with all of the issues with “modeling” in general

[I think a major part of this relates with people that have little-to-no FEEL/FEELING, literally OUT of-TOUCH, NO TOUCH, more husk than human, but act + talk like they are the essence/epitome/mode of FEEL(ing) + Being Human…
