Actually, the concept that "housing is a necessity" and "we've valued housing most over thousands of years" and "you must buy a house when you get married" weren't inherited cultural traditions from our ancestors. These concepts were actually implanted through propaganda over the past twenty years.

However, most people can't resist the surrounding environment. Since everyone has already been forcibly implanted with this concept, if you don't own a house by your twenties or thirties, you're considered inferior. Everyone gets pushed along this way.

So is "consensus" truly spontaneous from the grassroots?

I doubt it.

"Consensus" can be shaped behind the scenes by a visible hand, subtly and gradually implanted into your brain. And then the retail investors still think these are their own genuine thoughts. Right?
