[Ignorant Evil] Blindly Following Is Just Your Brain Being Lazy

Seeing a large number of people online blindly following trends, trampling on others, and having no sense of boundaries, people always criticize them as 'inherently evil'. Actually, this isn't a matter of good or evil, it's purely because 'blindly following and not thinking is the shortest path for the human brain to achieve simple results'. Analyzing and thinking is too tiring, so acting by directly applying the stereotypes and rules given by the environment saves the most mental energy. It's like how I used to deliberately play with and kill insects like ants and millipedes when I was a child, but now as an adult, I can barely stand to look at them. This is because in childhood, I had no concept of life and death and couldn't judge life; it was purely for fun. That cruelty at the time stemmed from 'ignorance'. And the blind following and trend-chasing of modern people on the internet often stems from a lack of awareness of the consequences. When we stop thinking and act by directly applying the rules given by the environment, we are actually, unintentionally, repeating the cruelty that arose from ignorance, just like I did in my childhood.
