Most people are sheep . . . great experiment!
#18
RE: Most people are sheep . . . great experiment!
I've been in situations in real life like one of these experiments.

I was on a national express coach (English version of greyhound bus) and the driver had a radio station on that was just pure loud static.
No one complained or said anything, it was like something from the twilight zone, I was looking around thinking am I the only one who can hear this shit?
I don't know if it's because I'm irritable or non sheep like but I walked right down the isle, past about 15 people who didn't say anything for whatever reason and turned the drivers radio to a station that was actually picking up music and he just said thanks.

I think it's something to do with shyness and a fear of standing out.

I think it's more of a spectrum rather than just being a sheep or not being a sheep, there might be situations where I'd go for the sheep option but most times I'm not shy about questioning something, especially if the risk is just social ostracism rather than violence.

I'd say I have a friend who's definitely on the high sheep end of the spectrum, the type of person who's humiliated even by tripping up a bit in front of strangers, who has to wear what their friends are wearing no matter what, for example skinny jeans even in really hot weather.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
