The Madness of the Masses: A Study in Folly
As a leading expert in the field of Mass Folly Studies, we at The Institute for the Study of Mass Folly have devoted ourselves to understanding the intricacies of human behavior.
Our research has led us to some fascinating conclusions: that humans are driven by a never-ending quest for novelty, that they will settle for mediocrity, and that they will follow any trend, no matter how absurd.
But what drives this madness? Our researchers have pinpointed several key factors:
- The Fear of Boredom: humans will settle for anything to avoid feeling empty and unfulfilled.
- The Love of Novelty: humans are drawn to new and exciting things like moths to a flame, even if it's just a slightly different shade of beige.
- The Folly of Social Proof: humans will do anything to fit in with the crowd, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being.
