Actually, Yes. I would think that I would be relatively immune from the effect of this in the domain of morality, because I have thought about morality and quite often.
Maybe in a field that I didn’t have much knowledge about, if I were asked to give opinions and this kind of a thing was pulled on me, I would succumb and quite badly, I admit. But I wouldn’t feel that bad.
I guess my main takeaway from this analogy is that most people don’t care that much about morality to stop and think for a while. They go as the flow goes and therefore I said “Sheeple”.
I am in no way saying that I am the purest and most moral person on earth. I am most definitely not living my life in accordance with my highest values. But I have a fairly high confidence that I will not succumb to this effect atleast in the domain of moral questions.
No-one says “sheeple” intending to include themselves. Do you have any reason to think you are immune from this effect?
