      In systems where ♀ and ♂ are highly polarized, the social structure is very simple and legible. ♂ is not allowed to run away from dirty/dangerous problems. ♀ is not allowed to face dirty/dangerous problems.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1335500792762048512 …

      This can have downsides. ♂ can end up unquestioningly doing stupid things for stupid reasons. ♀ often fails to fully live up to its full potential. On the other hand, fully destroying this polarity causes ♂ to lose courage and ♀ to lose self-reflection.

      What traditional values revolve around is the maintaining of the "Home". A beautiful 'interior' protected and surrounded by an 'external' bubble of darkness/nothingness.

      "Home" acts as a source of gravity. It actively prevents exploring the darkness. The more home is destroyed the more easily the darkness can be explored. Less rocket thrust needed. Sometimes this darkness even has some cool stuff like Innovation and Technology.

      However... fully destroy this sense of directional force and everyone just floats in limbo. Meaninglessness and loneliness descends like a black fog. Constant innovation and exploring is now *necessary* the same way a shark needs to keep swimming to breathe.

      Innovation as a guiding light necessarily homogenizes because "home" is now the school of fish in which you travel. Because there is no True Home you have to constantly keep a pulse on the Crowd and follow so you don't get left behind.

      So traditional values actually lower mass-group conformity because they provide an internal attractor that is stronger than fashion/innovation/novelty? Makes sense to counterbalance both during times of rapid change.

      I wouldn't say traditional values do so, just that their goal is to do so. If they fail (and often do due to being out of touch) then they don't provide the source of courage/love necessary for people to say "hey wait a sec that's bullshit."
