Conformists are not really stable, in many ways. As an organization, we may have little appeal to trendy, conformist people, and indeed the latter kinds of people may be uncomfortable with a space colonization advocacy group anyway. One chuckle by a peer and the conformist is gone. There are lots of trendy jokers out there who aren't serious about life and get an egotistic charge out of poking fun at others. Nevertheless, the reasonable nonconformists among us are rock solid.
Many people are materialistic.
Change is permanent. Practically all else you know today is impermanent. One must understand impermanence for spiritual growth.
