herd behavior
Herd behavior is the social ritual where individual will is drowned out by the footsteps of the crowd, sacrificing reason in pursuit of comfort. Mistaking another’s choice for guidance, people revel in the bliss of shirking responsibility. Practiced under the guise of freedom, it’s actually a collective imitation that tosses originality into the trash bin. Meant to harness group wisdom, it instead turns participants into solitary sheep obediently following the vanguard.
