Why is humanity so slow in progressing?

Question: Why is humanity so slow in progressing?
 
Answer: Most people are like monkeys. Whatever someone does, they exactly imitate. You lose control of your physical, emotional, and mental expressions, and you do as others do. Society has a name for it. It is called being sociable. I was in a meeting in the Far East with very dignified politicians. When five or six of them came together, the only thing they talked about was how they have sex with their wives. That is how the society’s consciousness absorbs you, sucks you in, and you lose your consciousness. Many, many times I noticed that individually people are dignified and beautiful, but immediately when they are in the company of others, they lose their identity.
