"The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and
the great welcome them out of vanity or need." ~Napoléon (1769-1821)
Seems somewhat of an overly simplified point of view. Similarly minded kindred
spirits, for example, may easily attract for the sake of stimulation without the least
risk of being threatened. Unhappy individuals with common misery love company.
Your thoughts?

Does an open, educated mind have time for such practices as joining the heard or as GB stated "Similarly minded kindred
spirits, for example, may easily attract for the sake of stimulation without the least
risk of being threatened".
Should the blame be put on the modern day education system, for the continued expansion of the "herd mentality"?

Well, it was also Napoleon who sent a courier to his mistress to tell her that he would be home in a few weeks and that she should not clean herself down there until then. In view of this, is it really important what we think about Napoleon's statements?
