Well we will have to disagree on that![]()
And conformity is a very specific word, it has different implications than harmony or unity, as it suggests an enforced bending of ones will to transform oneself to an ideal (and who sets the ideal?). The ones who demand conformity in this realm are definitely not positive types, or are at least very distorted (religious/cult types).
Just to add an analogy to my thought, I would view STO as choosing to be among friends, and STS to be more like being part of a corporation. Both have aspects of 'conformity', which is why I feel it's a loaded and imprecise word.
