And!,
The Title Says It All.
Is Unrestrained Individualism A Bad Thing?.
Being Unrestrained Is Absolutely Pure Freedom To Do As You Wish.
Individualism As A Whole, Is Everything That Makes You, You.
So, The Question Arrives,
Is That A Bad Thing (???).
~P.s. Hope, Trust, True Love, Honesty, Joy, And Endlessly Eternal Peace!.~
Individualism, unlike selfishness or loneliness, is a ideology, born out of a specific historical context, not a moral failing or part of some eternal human nature .

Hmm?. . .

But!, I Donāt Quite Understand.
Could You Please Elaborate?.

Hmm. . .
Thus Is What I Gathered From āWikipediaā.
An ideology is a set of beliefs or philosophies attributed to a person or group of persons, especially as held for reasons that are not purely epistemic, in which āpractical elements are as prominent as theoretical ones.ā
But!, I Am Still Confused. . .

Hmm. . .
Hereās Something Else I Am Curious About. i Wonder If It All Ties Together.
Philosophy~ āthe study of the theoretical basis of a particular branch of knowledge or experienceā.
Epistemic~ ārelating to knowledge or to the degree of its validationā.
Practicality~ āthe aspects of a situation that involve the actual doing or experience of something rather than theories or ideasā.
Theoretical~ āconcerned with or involving the theory of a subject or area of study rather than its practical applicationā.
But!, All of Thus Seems To Untangle The Original Post. The Thought Now Deep in Muddy Water.

Hmm. . .
What Is Human Nature?.
I Mean I Am Human Yes. I Understand That.
I Have Emotions, And Feelings, And Consciousness, Awareness, Perceptive Abilities Of Sorts.
But!,
I Am Not Sure I Understand What Human Nature Truly Is. . .
There are things about us that donāt change over history, or donāt change very much, like selfishness, fear of death etc. But there are things that do change over history, like how close we are to each other in society.
We happen to live in a society (late modern capitalist society) that for different reasons not only keeps us as separated from each other as possible, but also that promotes it as being a good thing.

Hmm?. . .
NotSeksoEmpirico:
fear of death
Thus Is Truly A Human Form Of Eternal Questions I Agree.
What Is Death To You?.
(If You Donāt Mind Me Asking )
Intelligence In The Framework Among The Living In The Structure Of Graves Is Rare. . .
Not to understand what human nature is is a good thing because probably there is no real āhuman natureā.

Hmm!. . .
NotSeksoEmpirico:
OK, agree to disagree
Then It Is Settled.
Fear Of Death Is The Truth To Human Nature.

Hmm. . .
One Wonders. . .
If Your Epistemic Philosophy On The Practical Side Of Theoretical Confusion Mirrors Life.
Where Does That Leave The Door Of Death?.
And Is That An Example Some Use As A Reason To Claim Unrestrained Individualism As Being Bad?.

Hmm. . .
Thus Is Quite A Rare Statement To Make I Can Assure You.
Like The Hope Diamond At The Bottom Of The Deepest Of Oceans.
Would You Rather Be Told What To Do Every Minute Of Every Day.
Other Than The Option To Do As You Wish?.

Hmm. . .
One Wonders.
Individualistic Freedom Is A Form Of Love Possibly Given To Us By A Force Immeasurable.
Possibly.
Although, Someone Might Disagree And Say, Doing What Is Told Is A Much Better Way To Advance.
Letās Say, In The Structure Of Economical Placement.
But!, The Disagreement Disagrees With itself.
Which Travels Back To The Original Question.
Is Unrestrained Individualism A BAD Thing?.

Hmm. . .
Okay, For A More Clearer Perspective.
You Hear A Voice.
The Voice Commands You To Do Something Terrible.
If You Are Unrestrained , It Is Your Choice To Choose Not To.
What You Choose Is The Sum Of All Of Your Past Leading Up To That Choice.
Your Individuality.
Itās Annoying For Your Day/Night To Be Interrupted By Voices I Agree.
But!, Your Reactions Upon Them Are Your Faults To Blame.
And Not The Voice.
That Really Canāt Be A Bad Thing Can It (???).

Hmm. . .
In All Honesty, Being Able To Function, Even In A Slightly Low Manner Is Still Something To Be Proud Of With SZ. For There Are Many Barriers That Hide A Sea Of A Freedom Many Take For Granted.
In Mainstream Society.
In Which Some Of Us May Or May Not Understand Completely.
But!, It Takes Patience And Time.
Plus It Can Be Done.
So Thereās Always That To Keep In Focus.
No offence but I feel your trying to inadvertently shame and silence people for speaking their feelings and authentic truth.
