Flock trends

Going with the flock, going with the trend

It's very easy to make masses of people to follow "leaders", the alpha males. Just give people an illusion that their life would be better if they would do what the leaders say, and they would follow without using reason to understand the costs of the path they would have to take.

People obey, it's their nature. The only way individuals can change this, is by getting out of the flock, by separating their reasoning processes from the monopolistic, average instincts of the flock; note that the flock doesn't think, it has instincts, but not reasoning.

You sound like a conspiracy nut.

There is no conspiracy. It's the usual deal. It happens every day. It happens right in your face, and it happens so because otherwise you would not get used to it; if it would happen unexpectedly, you would react violently and reject the change. You are so used with "leaders" controlling your life that you can't even imagine life without control.

It's like when you stay in a closed room and you can't realize that the oxygen is being replaced with carbon dioxide. You just can't see the alternative: life in the absence of control. Get out of the room, see the diversity outside the monopolistic ideas of the flock. See the Universe, see Life pulsating. Humans are not required for Life to exist. Their control is not necessary.
