You might remember as a kid hearing your mom say something along the lines of, “Just because everyone else jumps off a cliff, that doesn’t mean you have to, too.”
And yet, it’s hard to deny that there’s a powerful pressure to run with the pack if you want to fit in. People (and some would say especially women) care a great deal about how others think of them.
In this insightful essay about the hierarchy of the herd, the author explores why this is and how this herd mentality drives social norms, movements, and individual behavior more than we may consciously realize.
One thing the red pill philosophy encourages is to question everything you think you know is true. And when you do, before long chances are you’ll come to the very uncomfortable realization that a lot of what you thought was true actually isn’t. And that a lot of the thoughts and decisions you thought were your own, aren’t.
It can be such an uncomfortable experience that many would rather deny, deny, deny than face the truth. Even if what they are doing isn’t working. Even if what they are doing will never work.
As the above essay points out, there can also be stiff penalties for not following, speaking out against, or going against the herd. Even when the herd is headed right toward a cliff.
For example, I would argue that the herd is currently headed (stampeding, really) in a very dangerous direction. The herd is destabilizing, derailing, and destroying much of what made our society work, relationships and marriages work, families work, our economy work, our government work, our schools work, western civilization work.
Look around. Examples of this are everywhere. (This next part is admittedly America-centric but I am an American woman so it is what I know.) In a country where people have experienced unparalleled prosperity and freedom, we are instead of rising to the top, racing to the bottom. Why? The herd.
Mark my words, there is a cliff straight ahead. Whether you believe me or not, the law of gravity applies just the same.
Let those who have ears hear.

But that’s just what I think. What do you think? Are things getting better, or worse? Why or why not?
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
While I have been predicting this for years, at some time, it will come true. Somebody, somewhere is going to do something that redefines stupid and it will be beyond forgiving. The old excuses won’t work and we’ll all have to find something that does.
The sooner this happens, the better for all.
Yes fuzzie, I see so many people hurting, largely because they don’t see what they don’t see, and I hope for a time when we stop doing what’s not working and head in a more positive direction.
In the meanwhile, we can enjoy bear videos.
doing better darling?
Yes, thanks for asking. I am fine. I didn’t mean for this post to sound ranting but it likely does. That’s the danger of questioning reality, most everyone else still believes they are marching in a better direction and then you become the little kid saying, “But the Emperor has no clothes…there’s a cliff, watch out…” and everyone who doesn’t see it thinks you are overreacting. It’s a cry into the wilderness of sorts, pointing these things out, but who knows, maybe somehow, someway, someone saying it will help. Until then, at the end of each day I can have a glass of wine and hope for the best. Cheers! 🙂
Redpillgirlnotes,
If it’s something real and you don’t want to talk, I’ll keep posting bear videos.
They do seem to help and they’re usually welcome/
The do help lighten the mood Fuzzie, post away! 🙂
This may be beyond bear videos. Music videos are called for.
Just linked this at Spawny’s. Don’t know how well it went over.
Here’s another.
booze is proof God wants us to be happy…. that and motorcycles, firearms, blondes, redheads, brunets……motorcycles
SfcTon, you forgot dogs.
Redpillgirlnotes,
When things are getting to me, it helps to know that they are not this far gone.
Well young Fuzzie, that is one crazy Bear about to take on Mother Earth in a head-butt. There are some things I would not do to mothers, and that’s one of them.
Moehau Man,
That video does remind me of how much more out of control things can get.
Bears under control here.
That thar bar did not share your notions of control, Fuzzie, or I hope not.
Just look at the thousand yard stare
In the eye of that there bear.
Redpillgirlnotes,
You’ve got lots of boys in your fan club.
Cill and Padawan.
It’s hard to keep coming up with new bear videos.
“You’ve got lots of boys in your fan club”
We’re here because “Bear Trampoline” attracts us like moths to a flame. Where it goes we go.
Redpillgirlnotes,
Farm Boy left this link over at Spawny’s. While it’s more appropiate to another thread, I wanted you to see it. More ammo!

Cill,
So, Bear Trampoline is a big draw?
Good to know!
That’s very interesting fuzzie, there might be a whole new post idea there! Thanks for sharing 🙂

It still boggles my mind that women, even sensible older women, will throw on the warpaint, assemble into herds at the bar, and begin the chase for unicorns.
The pick up artists are laughing silently to themselves. The women think they are in packs like predators, when in fact they are in herds like prey. The seducers have been taught to corral the strong and separate off the weak from the herd. This hunting behavior is known as Night Game.
In Day Game, the playing field is leveled. It’s up to the situation dynamic as to who is hunted and who is hunting. But again really the herd mind set is what usually determines the outcome. He who pounces first (and it’s usually the ‘he’), wins.
