Too many people have too many opinions. Idealism is a problem, having opinions implies being vulnerable. People without opinions are scary and intimidating. Once they declare opinions they are approachable. It's a risk to talk. Otherwise the other way is to have no dignity, and then you can't loose it. and with no dignity to loose you can do all you want, but then you're an "animal".
Animals don't have opinions. Or, if they do, they don't matter.
