Psycology of the "Herd Mentality"

[Old BuckParticipant 3596]

Here’s a blog I read on group mentality, and it gives a little insight on the thought process of the “hive”

Following the herd may seem prudent to individuals, but it’s risky for society.

It is likely, then, that herding in humans, as in other species, is an effort by individuals to obtain resources and minimize risks.

There’s a vast amount of studies etc done to look at how groups operate and how an individual can be influenced by belonging in a group.
Also how individuals influence groups.

I’ll leave it there for now.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius

Never follow the herd, ever.

We been doing what “most people” do all the time and world is f~~~ed up.

Mean while the ones who saved our bacon where “weird”.

Newton, tesla, Dvinci, galileo, those Greek homos (Plato, Aristotle, etc)

The Wright brothers, bill gates was a dork (still is), Wozniak. GREGORY MENDEL WAS A F~~~ING PRIEST.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

I am a contrarian by nature so I say to everyone else, follow the herd.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

Communities of individuals is a human ideal, think of Galt’s Gulch, but is too idealistic to achieve in real life. I think libertarians take the fiction of Ayn Rand too seriously. In reality there would be more than one asshole gets in to annoy the rest of the Übermenschen.

A herd suggests a Shepherd or cowboys to crack the whip or bring down the staff. All forms of Marxism involve herds, and fascism. And democracy implies the whip, when there is a crisis then fascism appears instantaneously.

A good community of individuals wouldn’t coerce the dissidents, and enough of the more successful would gladly show charity to their less well off. This doesn’t happen, or doesn’t happen enough without some form of coercive state to redistribute resources to all.

Overpopulation – that’s the big problem, the wrecking ball. Future wars might be fought over simple resources like water supplies, not ideologies.
