Outsourcing judgements

Is pure internal judgement still relevant/applicable? Think of cases of one truly doesn't care about social norm or what others think. That person might be original, but is probably more likely to be a outcast. Instead, we generally do often depend on external yardstick, one way or another. But what about when internal judgement contradict with the external one? To which end does/shall one lean more towards? There are positive and negative words associated with either orientation, so the judge might be out there still.

ps. Has this also been exacerbated with increasing prevalence in automation and cognitive offload in recent decades? Or is it still just a normal and typical tension between external influences and free will?
