Who are normies? What do they believe?

IMO the normie mind can be explained by the following 10 normie commandments.

1. Individual human action has low or no effect on the world.

2. Mainstream news is mostly honest and reflects reality.

3. Institutions are trustworthy

4. Thinking via convention is the only worthwhile thought pattern.

5. Comfort is the highest pursuit in life, both physical and psychological.

6. Consumption is desirable, creation is not.

7. Authority figures are legitimate and deserve respect.

8. Conventional career paths are the most valuable in our society.

9. You can’t predict what will happen next.

10. Risk is intolerable and should be treated as such.

Number 1 is the insight.

Why bother with anything at all if your action has no impact?

Exactly. That’s the most important normie commandment. Everything else just reinforces the worldview of the first.
