The busier a place is, the faster I run. If a parking lot is full I wasn't meant to be there. I can't stand a crowd. That's why I'm watching this to see why people act like herd animals

This video basically summarizes how most people are sheeps who don't think for themselves. This is precisely the reason why I don't have many friends. Most people do what's others do just to fit in and be accepted at the cost of their own dignity and self awareness.

If you're getting attacked, harassed, bullied & gaslighted by people, media and the government, it means you're doing the right thing.

If we go against the crowd and are right, we are seldom rewarded. If wrong, often punished. If we go with the crowd and are right, we squeek by unnoticed. If wrong, we can blame others. Certainly such behaviour leads to worse results for the whole, but for the individual it is rational for social self-preservation. Thus, a corrective measure is in order. We as the members of society have the opportunity to praise those who reason themselves into going against the crowd.

I attempt to take The Chinese Farmer's philosophy on such things. I'll quote it below for those who haven't heard it. This version was penned by Dennis Adsit: There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically. “Maybe,” the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed. “Maybe,” replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy for what they called his “misfortune.” “Maybe,” answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Maybe,” said the farmer.

@@intermittentdiversion That reminds me of a concept that may be a bit cumbersome to explain, but I'll have a go. Humanity has been telling stories since long before civilization. For a storyteller, sitting around a fire at night, the sky is their canvass and the audience's imagination is their paints. We've been thinking in terms of stories for so long, that we don't always realize we're constantly telling ourselves the story in which oneself is the main character. But, I don't think of the me of 10 years ago as the same me as now. And I certainly hope I'm a "better" me in future. So, really these are a succession of stories. Now here's the fun bit. In Ancient Greek theatre a story which started off sad and got better was called a comedy and the reverse was called tragedy. We've all had times of terrible suffering and times of joy. So, we oscillate between the two. Thus, your entire outlook in life is up to you. Do you want it to be a series of stories that start well and end horribly, or would you rather tell yourself that each one started awful and became pleasant? The idea that one's life is a story is so ingrained that we often don't realize it's completely in our power to decide if we prefer comedies or tragedies. And switching from one perspective to the other can have dramatic effects on the specific content of one's future stories. Sorry these comments are so long.

@@RubelliteFae no worries on the long comments-there's lots of food for thought in them. Thanks for sharing. I believe the author Michael Lewis touches on a similar subject when he says: "As I’ve gotten older-I would say starting in my mid-to-late 20s-I could not help but notice the effect on people of the stories they told about themselves. If you listen to people, if you just sit and listen, you’ll find that there are patterns in the way they talk about themselves. There’s the kind of person who is always the victim in any story that they tell. Always on the receiving end of some injustice. There's the person who’s always kind of the hero of every story they tell. There's the smart person; they delivered the clever put down there. There are lots of versions of this, and you’ve got to be very careful about how you tell these stories because it starts to become you. You are-in the way you craft your narrative-kind of crafting your character. And so I did at some point decide, “I am going to adopt self-consciously as my narrative, that I’m the happiest person anybody knows.” And it is amazing how happy-inducing it is."

Once you already have a bunch of people planted there, all you need to do is let the FOMO kick in and people will start queuing up just because they saw others queuing already.

Because people assume that the reason everyone is at Restaurant A is because the food must be better. It's like two products at Amazon. One has 100 five-star reviews, and one has no reviews. The price is the same...which one do you choose?

Please know this: Herd mentality is contagious and is everywhere. People get easily caught up and this makes it difficult in the long run to differentiate your own thoughts from those that is imposed on to you. You have to be vigilant and that sometimes requires you to go hermit mode as an extreme result. Herd mentality keeps you bound to an echo chamber and it’s easier to manipulate because it breeds fear. Herd mentality also is imposed since the day you born and will be till the day you die. It’s everywhere: Schools, TV, phone, advertising etc Individuality is so important especially NOW more than ever. Look around- everyone’s doing the same shxt. When you’ve been bound to herd mentality you become a prisoner of it and start becoming committed to its way of being because it’s comfortable, any individualism becomes a threat- this is furtherest from the truth, everyone single person here is unique in their own right, people need to bring that side out of others rather than fighting constantly. You can’t expect everything to change around you if you have a fixed and rigid mindset. People are so afraid of being alone because then they’ll have to face themselves, and that’s the biggest obstacle in one’s life, mastering yourself. So, they’ll just stick to herd mindset because it’s easier and safe.

So fun to learn about life.

The herd will always exist and the people who are born superior will always rule.

Leaning on heard behavior is how many of world wide tricks has been done on so may people for such a long time, because of the thinking "It cant be that big" and "it cant be that old for so many people to fall for it". Their "argument" being: "From so many people somebody would know if it was trick, and since nobody is talking against it, it must be because its true, not false. So its right to follow the heard." This is, as the video states, is to alleviate the fear of unknown, but also in the direction of economy - to spend as little (effort, time, energy, attention, etc) as possible, because people are beings with very limited energy levels, and we want to save as much as possible, even ironically, at the detriment of our safety.

Great video but you missed a major factor, oxytocin! The reason why neurotypicals are so susceptible to herd mentality is because of the feel good neurochemical response to social engagement, conforming reduces distress & builds a system of trust. Becoming more aware of decision making via data analysis is fine, but this way of thinking is only favoured in certain neurotypes ie. ASD. In the end we all base our decisions on feelings (neurochemical responses), so it is very important to understand the significance of oxytocin in herd mentality & understand neurotypes, specifically if we want to lower the likelihood of narcissistic & psychopathic leaders as they are usually the ones with the most “charisma” which to the NT represents confidence & certainty therefore building trust irrespective of said leaders intentions.
