Are You a Sheep in the Herd?

You have to be very careful in how you think about where you sacrifice for your collective cause. For exampleto row, the govern of the american government could declare war on iran and issue a draft and draft you into the war potentially. You can't just be a sheep in the herd and just walk off off the cliff when the whole herd decides to go off cliff. As a as a social animal, humans are very social, and everything we do is social. So you can't avoid being part of the herd. But what you can do is you can be independent enough to avoid the collective madnesses that come every every generation.
