Differentiation of Self and Collective / Autonomia

Individualism

Anti-hierarchy, individualism, non-conformism, individual sovereignty, freedom, principled intransigence, egalitarianism, liberalism, transparency, truth

Essence: autonomous individualism and rejection of illegitimate authority.

The individual as irreducible and non-negotiable unit. Hierarchies, collective identities, and social pressure are experienced as illegitimate impositions to be resisted. Truth and transparency are active drives, not passive values. Convictions harden rather than yield under external pressure. Personal values take unconditional precedence over externally imposed obligations.

Manifests as independent, nonconformist, and anti-authoritarian behavior.

Extreme manifestations: perceived injustice hypersensitivity, epistemic rigidity, reflexive contrarianism.
