It's still fascinating to me. The sheep could choose to stop bleeating to their death. Even the dumbest sheep should question before taking the final step off the cliff.
90% of all humans in all time periods are lemmings. That’s just the way humans work. We are social creatures and not logical ones. The human brain isn’t a logic machine it’s a survival machine and believing authority and fitting in socially helped us survive. That’s why those in power know how to exploit us perfectly. They hijack our need for authority and social acceptance using technology and propaganda to exploit us for everything we are worth.
Great comments throughout, agree with virtually every word.
There's often a shortage of leaders but seldom a shortage of followers. Human nature.
