    conformity become too much conformity? Why‚ despite the evidence that he himself has agreed to conform to certain obvious social conventions‚ does he make conformity out to be such a terrible thing? It’s obvious that although he conformed to conventional social expectations in some ways‚ Emerson associated too much conformity—and that is an interesting question: how much is too much?—with a kind of "herd" mentality. The sheep are in this part of the meadow so I better go and stand there‚ too. The birds
