The Emperors New Clothes Society has been around for hundreds of years now, and the really funny thing is – almost ‘all’ of it’s members don’t have a clue that they ‘are’ fully-paid-up-members. Sounds impossible right! ?
Now think about it, when you’re in a group of work mates, friends or family, do you find yourself agreeing with the ‘majority view’ of the group?
When you go to the cinema/theatre having seen the reviews by the official ‘critics’ who all say it’s a masterpiece, a wonderful interpretation of some concept or other, do you leave agreeing with them, because you’re sure you’d look foolish if you argued ‘against’ the populist view?
Maybe you’re on Social-Media and all of your friends/followers/subscribers all seem to have a pretty assured ‘opinion’ about a certain subject. Do you automatically like, share and comment to show your support and agreement without necessarily knowing all about the subject anyway, or you know that really deep down they’re NOT! Right? ….
Don’t worry, it’s a trait that almost ALL of us actually have, and hardly ANY of us know it. This is why you should wear your T-shirt below, with Pride!..
(And Yes! The Mis-Spelling Is Supposed To Be ‘Irony’)
You don’t have to follow the herd any more, – “This Age is of Aquarius, Enlightenment to ALL” – Look around you, everywhere, see all the Herd agreeing with each other, especially on Social Media. Once you open your eyes it’s like having X-ray-Vision and the Phoney’s are all singing and dancing in front of you, no matter where you look, the picture is the same!
A study was done some years ago for TV where groups of actors were put into a room along with a few members of the public taken off the streets outside to take part in a ‘Paid Survey’. No-one apparently knew each other, except the actors had been primed. The survey started with questions they could all agree on, and then it moved up a gear to questions that the ‘majority’ (actors) all gave the SAME but WRONG answers to.
Almost all of the volunteers agreed with the wrong answer, even though it was obviously the wrong one. They were afraid to look stupid in front of their peers, so took the ‘natural’ decision to follow the herd. This was repeated several times during the day, with exactly the SAME results.
Another prime example was the popular Jeremy Beadle programme ‘Game For A Laugh’ where they hired an expensive Art Gallery and invited all of the top Art Critics to attend a NEW Artist’s Exhibition, drinks and buffet all free!
They took several people off the streets who were NOT artists, plonked them in a scrap-yard with a load of paints and canvasses then asked them to produce ‘anything’ – the MORE Bonkers, the better 🙂
That evening, the critics turned up, the paint was still wet, and the conversations began between these Lauded Critics. Yes, they were certain they knew the inside of the mind of this Amazing New Talent!! Their concept for the ‘Art?’ was clear to see, and so should be worth many £1,000’s in the near future and well-worth an investment today before the other Art Experts discovered the work.
It was all going very swimmingly, mainly because the critics knew the event was being filmed for a ‘serious’ art discussion programme …. UNTIL! …. Jeremy Beadle stepped out of the shadows ….. THEIR Faces were the Real Picture – They didn’t know where to look next, and then the penny dropped!! The WHOLE Nation had them Sussed Now … They too were just ‘Following The Herd’ very expensively of course, but an investment is an investment and it’s HOW they could afford to do so in the first place.
We are all herd followers at the end of the day, you might like to read the Free PDF by Ven Bunce called ‘The Human Survival Blueprint’ – Click Here!
It explains in very simple detail ‘how’ and ‘why’ we are all led by the nose and automatically enrolled into ‘The Emporers New Clothes Society’ without our permission. More importantly, how we can leave at will.
