Recently, there was news that nearly a hundred goats in a certain place jumped off the cliff together.
is indeed rare, but it is not rare, and it is also due to nature. This has also given rise to a folk proverb, and it is also a regular "herd effect".
Although sheep have hard horns, they rarely rely on this to fight against hungry wolves. They are mainly used for internal flirting. The strongest ram is invincible because it has fought all over the flock. While occupying the most resources within the flock, it also becomes the backbone of the flock.
Therefore, when the wolves attack, if the leader runs first, the other sheep will also run, because all the sheep have the same psychology at this time: the leader is the most powerful, he runs away, it must be because he can't beat it, and he can't beat it, and we can't beat it ourselves, so run away.
So some people say: If a flock wants to defeat the wolves, it must choose a lion as the leader. Even if the lion does not take action, the flock can knock the wolves back.
sometimes is not a matter of strength, but a matter of courage. This matter is military: one soldier will be a nest of bears.
However, the tax rate of lions is too high and is not my race, so the leader of the flock still has to choose among the flock.
In fact, ancient hunters also learned about the characteristics and herd effect of the flock early. They would use cooperation to drive the flock to the top of the mountain and force them to jump off the cliff and commit suicide. As long as the top sheep jumps down, other sheep will jump down. Because in the consciousness of other sheep, the head sheep is always right. Follow him, that's right! Or we can't live without following him.
So a flock of sheep jumped down, and the primitive hunter could spend the winter safely.
In fact, it is not just a flock of sheep. It is said that cattle that are larger than individual sheep also have this nature, especially the bison on the African savanna.
They will carry out a great migration every year, and where will the cow go, and the others will follow closely. When they encounter a spacious river, they will wade across the river without hesitation. As a result, all the crocodiles nearby come to have dinner.
As for humans, they are also extremely outstanding in the herd effect. Once a certain emotion is suppressed for a long time, a person jumps out and waves his arms, and immediately responds to it, so the wheel of human history is pushed, and changing dynasties is no problem.
Of course, this time, the nearly 100 goats in Huixian ... I was just frightened, and it was still the usual "herd effect."
I am Thirteenth Brother, thank you for your attention.
