MODERN SOCIETY-IS THAT ALL THERE IS?
SHEEPLE VICTIMS
I have to stop saying "How stupid can you be".
Some people are starting to take it as a challenge.
We live in a world filled with Sheeple.
SHEEPLE: a portmanteau of “sheep” and “people” is a term of disparagement in which people are likened to sheep, a herd animal. The term is used to describe those who voluntarily acquiesce to a suggestion without critical analysis or research.
Scientists at the University of Leeds have conducted research that proves the tendency that many humans have to act like sheep, unwittingly following the crowd as if they didn’t possess a reasoning mind.
While this may have its uses in some situations, such as planning pedestrian flow in busy areas, it doesn’t inspire a ton of hope for humankind.
The study showed that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd’s direction and that the other 95 percent follow without even realizing what is going on.
Professor Krause, with PhD student John Dyer, conducted a series of experiments in which groups of volunteers walked randomly around a large hall. Within the group, a few received instructions regarding where to walk. Participants were not allowed to communicate with one or intentionally influence anyone.
The findings in all cases revealed that the informed individuals were followed by the others in the crowd, forming a self-organizing, snake like structure or flock of sheep.
“We’ve all been in situations where we got swept along by a crowd,” said Professor Krause. “But what’s interesting about this research is that our participants ended up making a consensus decision despite the fact that they weren’t allowed to talk or gesture to one another. In most cases the participants didn’t realize they were being led by others at all.”
Scary.
Are we such sheeple that we allow a few “informed” people to lead us around without even knowing what’s happening?
Sadly, it makes sense. How many fall for scams of all kinds because of friends or “informed” sources, from pyramid schemes to religious hoaxes and political charlatans .
We seem to believe just about anything, or blindly tolerate it as long as the message is delivered with enough social credibility.
Eventually it becomes too late to realize that one has wasted their entire life trying to please the plethora of idiots around them, instead of educating and molding tomorrow for the better.It is mindless life to spend the majority of one’s years as a slave without even knowing it.
When you finally realize your life sucks, the distinctive reaction of any authentic sheeple is to blame the system.
So, do this. Convince yourself that it’s not your fault; it’s the system’s fault.
The system should have taken care of all your needs and make you happy, without requiring you to think for yourself, not believe everything you’re told, have initiative, find your own path and follow it.
Assuming responsibility for your own existence implies thinking responsibly and rationally. And that’s not what a sheeple does.
It’s so much easier to blame the system!
Your life will continue to suck, it will probably get worse with every passing day, but at least you will not feel guilty about it because "someone else" did this to you.
Ignorance is bliss becomes your goal in life as the forever delusion of being a "victim"
