Hyperindividualism is stupid. Dogs, elephants, walruses, meerkats, bison, and pretty much every herd/pack animal on the planet is smart enough to know that none of us can survive for long without strong social bonds and interconnectedness.

How many times has an Ivy League graduate lectured you about the evils of collectivism yet brags about his/her Harvard/Yale/Princeton degrees? Is being a member of the Ivy League just a form of collectivism?
