Why herding behaviors may occur frequently in everyday decisions based on learning from the information of others, as when a person on the street decides which of two restaurants to dine in. Suppose that both look appealing, but both are empty because it is early evening; so at random, this person chooses restaurant A.
Soon a couple walks down the same street in search of a place to eat. They see that restaurant A has customers while B is empty, and choose A on the assumption that having customers makes it the better choice. And so on with other passersby into the evening, with restaurant A doing more business that night than B.

This also seams to apply to everything we do. A room full of toys yet what ever child takes up the leadership roll in exploring the room of toys, the other two will want and fight over the toy chosen by the leader.
We see this in consumerism at x-mas with a featured object or toy that the public has pre/valued - obsessed in having before its even placed on the shelf.
Several historians also believe that Hitler before wwII used herd behavior and crowd psychology to his advantage, by placing a group of German officers disguised as civilians within a crowd attending one of his speeches. These officers would cheer and clap loudly for Hitler, and the rest of the crowd followed their example, making it appear that the entire crowd completely agreed with Hitler and his views. These speeches would then be broadcast, increasing the effect.
During times of mass panic, the herd type behavior can lead to the formation of mobs or large groups of people with destructive intentions. In addition, during such instances, like those during natural disasters, behavior such as mass evacuation and clearing the shelves of food and supplies is common.

Unless your like Buddha, or Jeremiah Johnson living on the side of a mountain or home steadying on the Yukon river. We are still pretty much herded around town or lead by something.
And taking the quick route out of saying we are awake and not sheeple is a miss understatement if you understand how we are still being lead.
Like religion or a way of thinking is the raft to get you across the river. Once on the other side -- you must step off or be lead out to sea.
We came into this world solo, and unless you are possessed your solo in spirit now, and when we cross over or leave this vassal it’s a solo move also. So why are we all bunched together still? We are still playing as a herd, in this moment and post. Still sheeple -- still asleep. Only a different bubble of us all together as enlighten sheep. Lead by the enlightened movement and their leaders of thought and beliefs. Solo/neutral/spirit having a human experince.--Verses the human Herd.

Thank you and on that beautiful not I close this discussion. Thank you all. All is as it should be. John
you are as dense as jancar, i dont care what religion people believe, i only care that people present unproven beliefs as beliefs and not facts.
YOU attack EVERYONE who is different than you, anyone who doesnt see the world exactly as you gets a nsaty label.
poor neanderthall andy still doesnt understand
you can believe whatever you want to, you cant say your unproven beliefs are the truth if they arent proven. you can say it is your belief all you like. dont say it is fact until you can prove it.
and as usual andy attacks logic again. because logic defeats his beliefs structure evey single day here, so he must attack and demonize anything which may rock his boat because he cant swim yet without the lifejacket of separation and ignorance.
devi i am talking to mayir,
i know all about wheat, and yes he has made the mistake of asking people to change their beliefs.
my mission is for people to present their beliefs as beliefs and not proven facts when they havent been proven yet.
it doesnt hurt anyone for you to believe in god or pink bunnies. it does hurt people when we go around saying theie belief is the right one
when you willfully ignore what people say and change what they say to suit your agenda then you are are being dense.
its not an attack to tell a person with low IQ that they have low IQ its just a fact :)
no different than any other, FINALLY you admit you do this too.
Mayir: The great division going on now is between the Re-BLOOD-licans and the Demo-CRIPS.
Show and tell time.---- post against herding?????? were did you see this,???? I know i'm part of the herd, and was just pointing it out, just exactly how I am part of it. in mind and body. spirit is not governed by this herding. stay on topic please. and no snow balls please.
:-) well stated. very strong selfempowerment silent watcher is smiling big me thinks.
I don’t like snow ball fights and when you don’t ask, and instead preach - I have been there and will not go back. And only a snow ball fight will erupt in its place. Cross the river of religion first, stand in silence and know that I am. Is a fair place to begin once you reach the other shore.
Studying New Testament Greek for three years at Moody bible institute in LA for me after 35 years of Christianity broke the religious bond I had placed on myself. And stepped off the raft of religion onto the solid rock of walking in spirit. And will not cast my pearls before men, or pray before them as instructed. Continue to seek and you’ll find. A journey in and across, not out and preach.
Namaste. John
