Most people will do very bad things, including mob violence, if they are peer-pressured enough.
Shouldn’t this be weighted against the good things people do if they are peer-pressured? I think there’s value in not conforming but if all cultures have peer-pressure there needs to be a careful analysis of the pros and cons instead of simply strifing for immunity from it.
I’m not sure anybody “just” innately lacks the machinery to be peer-pressured.
My first thought here aren’t autists but psychopaths.
