This is not a valid comparison, J.L. We have been told for decades to "ask your doctor", "get your annual physical", "take your medication" and on and on and people have been brain-washed to trust the medical profession and their "leaders". We have not been told repeatedly to jump off a cliff, plus unlike the mysteries of medicine, we can see the edge of a cliff and would be more likely to question that advice. This was not about stupidity; it was about fear and trust.
How come some people "get brain-washed"? And some don't? Is it easier to "go along to get along"? Why do people watch television? And believe the news? And believe doctors? I was curious about the medical profession and became a Surg. Tech in a hospital (just to see what's up). What a "movie" that was! Yeah, I quit when I got my fill. I've been observing life my entire Life and I don't play well in the sandbox....well, I don't play in the sandbox; I have my own.
Well I was born fearless and I don't trust (I have always questioned everything). Parents pain-in-the-ass child who wanted to know "WHY?".....they would just say, "Because we said so!". I've been curious about everything; travelled/hitchiked/bicyled throughout the world; worked various well-paid jobs; bought and lived on a sailboat; married; had a child.....I've lived a lot of ways and seen how life is. I hate TV; I read ALOT and I DON'T TRUST what I CAN'T PROVE to be true. AND!! I DON'T LIKE BEING LED AND DON'T NEED 'LEADERSHIP'.!! So, I feel free from programming from ANY authority; which I don't like either! Those were the way I chose to live. So that's where the term "sheeple" comes from; people that need leaders...I guess. Oh, and guess what? I come from working class people, so I paid my own way for my adventures because I was raised to have a good work ethic but I never wanted to "be" anything (professionally) I'm the only black sheep amongst five siblings.
