Why do you do yourself an injustice if you "conform for the sake of conforming"? Conformity builds social bonds. If people would rather spend time pruning their social position rather than expanding their intellectual horizons, who are we to tell them not to? You would feel to be degrading yourself if you did so, why should everyone take offense to the act in the same way as you do?
