Allan: Re: "Many people desire to belong to and be accepted by the group. Many people also have a tendency to let others think for them in fields they find intellectually difficult. These traits serve to make their unconscious minds dominate their conscious minds, especially in emotionally charged social settings." "As soon as a few individuals are gathered together they constitute a crowd, and, though they be distinguished men of learning, they assume all the characteristics of a crowds with regards to matters outside their specialty. The faculty of observation and critical spirit possessed by each of them individually at once disappears." "The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim." Gustave LeBon, The Crowd. Justa's book of the week.
