As in the {discredited} hundredth monkey theory, doing things differently was resisted by the elder males in particular. They refused to wash their fruit, to rid spoiled fruit from sand contamination. So, the younger monkeys did. Then, at some mystical point, even the old guard took to washing their fruit. The zeitgeist is a ponderous behemoth. We should approach it as I talk about in this post. Those creepy older men will change when enough of the peers frown on intrusive stupidity.
