I think these concepts have some interesting applications to the RP/BP dichotomy. Atomistic religions believe that people have individual souls, metaphysically speaking they are ontologically separate. The idea that everyone is separate and different, imparts an existential idea that people should group together in likeness for success during their life. On the other hand, holistic religions believe that everyone is part of the cosmic whole. Ontologically, everyone and everything exists as one. The existential idea inflicted from this is that one should seek individual expression during their life, before returning to the cosmic whole.

In relation to RP beliefs which are individualistic, it parallels atomism. A RPer understands that individualistic and egoist nature of the philosophy as a fundamental first premise. The idea imparted from this is to become the standard of success. In this way, RPers ideal goal in the philosophy is to become a Chad or a patriarch. (To clarify: two different templates, but that is about is different as it gets, maybe MGTOW as a third option.) The idea being that even though they are individualists, they seek to be the same in that it is the best option, and unite under that.

BP beliefs which are collectivist, parallel holistic beliefs. The collectivist idea being that duty is to the group that everyone is a part of. This is a fundamental belief of most BPers, as it is the source of their moral objection to RP. The existential idea of individualistic expression manifests itself in BPers as seeking unique identities, and a rejection of labels. (Most don't even like the pill analogies.) The rejection of labels goes further than simply pills in that BPers rarely want to classify any of their identity as they believe it is unique to them.

I think there are several interesting topics to discuss in this light. One is the common "just be yourself" advice trope. In this context, BPers who give this advice, really do mean it. They believe in the idea of individualistic expression as a way to contrast their collectivist ideologies. It isn't necessarily existential in this parallel, but it is a modus operandi of someone who holds an ideology that parallels holism. It doesn't work for individualists whose MO is to optimize their success through a standard template. Another way I see this manifest are in BPers concern for outliers and unique individuals, and RPers focus on the majority.

Thoughts?
