This time I scribble down a note on dividing society into disruptors and conformists.
The titles are self descriptive: conformists blend well into existing rules and never stand out, fit well in hierarchy, the crowd, are typical "ass lickers", protect the hierarchy. Disruptors are exactly non conformists: avoid rules, try to grasp the essence of reality and as (positive) pro-creationists go for maximum avoiding all earthly constraints, or they are (negative) anarchists and just protest the rules without creating anything substantial.
Looking from cultural perspective I see that there are different societies which:
- deploy disruptors as leaders/educators for conformists. Disruptors provide higher (disruptive) energy, paradigm shifts, innovation, critical thinking and disputes (positive side of the disruption). In this case conformists are pulled up, while disruptors get the stage and certain level of self realization. Both blend together into united task force.
- split conformists and disruptors even more, where conformists blend into bureucreatic hierarchical organizations (which are often of organic compliance nature), while disruptors develop into some niche domains and stand out world wide, but do not see any meaning staying in homeland.
Lithuania (as probably any small country) is considered a country of families (or "mafia" is you will) is developing contry and monolitic society at the same time. It still favours a lot conformists and is not very capable retaining its' disruptors inside.
How can a small country like Lithuania stand out world wide? Summarizing all this my recipe is:
- Promote tolerance and respect for positive disruptors, diversity etc.
- Use disruptors as change agents in society, forming interest groups and providing them with innovation capacities.
- Develop purposeful areas where disruptors would be able to spend their energy staying here and creating disrupting innovations.
