Ok, then I know what you're talking about. It isn't that they're stupid at all. Many are very smart. I know some not-too-smart people who are not drones -- as eccentric as they come. It's just a way different mindset. It's a conscious (or ingrained) decision not to think. It's as though they got put on autopilot or something. And I do know some drones who are or have been depressed. But with the drones that I know, the depression usually stems from some crisis -- pending divorce, husband lost his job, and so forth. It seems less biological. But I admit that my observations are of a small number of people. And I should stress that not everyone who lives in a beige house is a drone. Again, it's this mindset...
