by making people think you should be "the best you can be", means that the maximum work effort is squeezed out of you

hysterical! that may very well be the best word for describing things right now.
and thought the notion that we all should deserve fame or excellence is one that may indeed be widespread, it seems like a bit of a warped view from even the hardest individualist position: I don't think you're supposed to deserve anything for nothing in true individualism (in other words, you have to work hard on your own without anyone elses help), but people no doubt have this notion you speak of, and it also no doubt comes from the individualistic notion of putting THE (HOLY) INDIVIDUAL on a pedestal of excellence.

okay, i guess i agree with that characterization of "indivisibility" with regard to human beings. it would see the human being as a certain structure wheraes the material that consitutes the strucutre is secondary.
this viewpoint harmonizes with quantum phsyiscs as well. i guess that's what you call a holistic object in quantum physics. the individual "frog xy" doesn't exist anymore when you cut it to pieces and pull out the different organs and put them to different places. according to classical physics it would still exist because all the parts are there. according to quantum physics it doesn't because what constitutes an individual is a certain interdependence and coalition of things. ... which makes more sense anyway.

I miss the old DM who made topics like "My ass was so tight this morning, my farts sounded like a digeridoo".
Now he's all philiosophical and shit

no, an individual is a special type of person. not all persons are individuals, but all individuals are persons.

they are called.. "those who aren't individuals."
also, being an individual doesn't entail dressing like no-one else, thinking like no-one else, etc.. it's just (personal) autonomy still within society.
