The greatest threat seems to be fear, because it makes you stupid. People in great numbers behave like herds, afraid of dangers (real or imaginary) and desperate for anything that makes them feel safer. Herds are manipulated by fear, and never before has been such an effective medium to disseminate that fear to the masses.
The dangers of being afraid have been recognized and studied many times in our history, yet we keep falling for it.

- ASalazarMX 8y agoI think people sometimes feel defenseless, therefore become afraid, therefore become stupid.
