Who is the "they" (The Collective)

There are beliefs we hold to be true because "the collective" we identify with says so. Picking up from our first episode about the construct you and I identify as, we take a look at the truths we adopt along the way, truths we live by, truths that shape us.  We sometimes find ourselves adopting truths we don't necessarily embrace fully because of our need to be granted access into the "they" collective.
