Most people are Followers. Become Independent.

Most people are Followers. Become Independent.

The video shows that Followers are susceptible to the influence of the majority. It is they who then form other crowds of Followers with their own masses.

However, if there had been a person with the quality of Independence in the room, they would quickly have broken this chain of Followership.

There are two opposing qualities.

Independence — Followership.

An Independent person is not swayed by such influences. Moreover, an Independent person could not be made to sit in a chair. They would walk around the room and "explore" the space they are in.

A Follower is content with what they are given and where they are led, whether subtly or deliberately.

Who are you? Independent or a Follower?

But first, answer this question: "Did you give money to school for paint for the classroom?"

Questions & answers

What is the quality of Independence?

Independence is a quality opposite to Suggestibility. An independent person is not swayed by the influence of the majority and does not fall for external pressures. Such a person actively explores their surroundings and does not settle for what is given to them.

How does an Independent person differ from a Suggestible person?

An independent person is not susceptible to crowd influence and does not follow the instructions of the majority. A suggestible person, on the other hand, settles for what they are given and goes where they are led, thereby creating new crowds of suggestible people.

How does Independence break the chain of Suggestibility?

If a person with the quality of Independence appears in a group of suggestible people, they quickly break the chain of majority influence. Such a person does not submit to group pressure and through their behavior destroys the mechanism of spreading Suggestibility.

Why are most people Suggestible?

Suggestible people are susceptible to the influence of the majority and form crowds that then influence other groups of suggestible people. This creates a self-sustaining system in which the majority remains Suggestible.
