Study Proves 95% Of People Are Sheeple

At least they stepped away from the chinese buffet for a minute.

GLP, it has 95% membership in the green karma bar. Probably 90% of them don't actually know each other, except via anonymous correspondence; yet my friend they are followers like sheep. In the real world, sheep, they hang together...literally.

This video provides a spiritual non-religious explanation to the sheeple phenomenon:

this breaks the common belief that it needs a minimum of 10% in order for a whole community to change to a new idea or trend and this is a market rule for years.

here i found it

Once 10% of a population is committed to an idea, it’s inevitable that it will eventually become the prevailing opinion of the entire group

so do we become more sheeple than the previous years?

for sure it is not inherit!

Can you prove that? If you're going to make that claim, at least give us a link?

This is a good thing. A small portion of people are meant for leadership, and the rest are meant to follow. It is the way things are supposed to be.

you dont need a link. from historic to todays leaders, when you have a king/politician/leader generally approved for his skills,their children/grandchildren or other family members who "inherit" this position are usually totally unfit

Are you a native speaker of English? I thought I may have drifted into an alternative timeline for a second.

This view limits free will and limits the growth potential of individuals. You may be right though. Why do you believe this?

No i m not a native english speaker, but i dont talk about inherent here, but about inheriting a skill.
I mean that leadership or other such skills that make people outstanding is not something they can inherit to their children or grandchildren etc.

Because it is true. Why would you believe all people have the same will and the same growth potential? That seems like a much more outlandish claim.

I don't need a study to tell me that.

All you have to do is watch their behavior.

That reasoning doesn't fly: Q: Why do you believe this? A: Because it's true!

To answer your question, I never stated that's what I believe. I'm done discussing this with you because you're putting words in my mouth and using circular reasoning. There's nowhere to go from here but down in my opinion.

How to get your get out card for no more being a Sheeple

How to be your own person
There some things you can do to not only avoid living as a sheeple, but enjoy a full, prosperous and exciting life to boot. Here are a couple of the fundamentals that sheeple tend to miss.

Determine what you want in life. Over 25 years teaching Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) I've asked thousands of people the question what do you want? I've been amazed at the incredibly low percentage of people who can answer it. What are your primary goals? Which direction are you headed? Where do you want to be in five years? The most common answer: I don't know. We'll see what happens. Perhaps one in ten can answer with certainty and specificity, which looks like this:

My top 3 goals right now are...

In five years my life will be different in the following, specific ways...

The primary obstacles in my way are the following...

The skills I need to develop to accomplish my goals are the following...

No one can predict the future, but few things serve us better than intentionally pursing a chosen future, rather than waiting to "see what happens." If you do not choose your goals, your family, friends, community and culture will do so for you (knowingly or unknowingly). This is called status-quo. Not surprisingly, status quo is not that inspiring.

Learn to make intentional, full decisions. So many of our decisions are not well considered. In NLP, we learn that decisions and motivation are simply comprised of visual, auditory and kinesthetic (feeling oriented) phenomena. These are the building blocks of mental processes. Bad decisions, impulsive decisions and ultimately regrettable decisions are so often missing a building block. We make impulse decisions without discussing things (missing the auditory). We make emotional decisions without considering other options (missing visual and auditory). Or we get caught in mental loops with no exit (endless internal dialogue with no feeling that prompts toward action).

In all of these cases, because we lack the foundation for solid decisions, we are vulnerable to the whims of others. If we lack the ability to discuss and analyze decisions, we may accept someone else's analysis as gospel. If we tend to make emotional decisions, we may fall prey to whomever can pump us up into an emotional state. If we can't bring our thoughts to completion with a feeling of certainty, we may just do what others are doing to get ourselves out of the endless internal loop.

Fascinating we don't teach goal setting and decision making skills in our education system. These help form the foundation of real character and individuality - and protect us from over dependency on the ideas or opinions of others.

Make your decisions with all of your building blocks in place and with a clear set of goals in mind. This will keep you out of the realm of the sheeple.

But don't take my word for it. Think it through.

"The study showed that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd's direction - and that the other 95 percent follow without even realizing what is going on."

That pretty much summarizes human history.

For its stupidity. That like breaking a horse's legs and then kicking because it can't run. The people have been destroyed purposefully. Primarily through mass media, the NEA and any organization that is effected by government regulations such as church.
