Just a super-organism

I have a view of humans as a super-organism. We create parts of our own society to test out what works while also keeping survival as a species. We do this quite well. Governments and Non-profits are set up pretty rigidly to keep mortality rates down. Death is minimized through safety programs and infant-focus programs. We promote conservatives at our core, to preserved mindless life hood. A guaranteed boring existence of security, abundance and monotony. Then there are the outliers. Those who push the boundaries of the social qualities. These outsiders push the norm. They test new alternatives. Sure about 80% are bonkers, but the 20% leads the crowd in a new direction which spurs innovation and adaption.
