United We Fall

An individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself – either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant – in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer. – Gustave Le Bon Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form a headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. – Charles Chaplin
And here are some opposite thoughts, from people who discovered creativity and growth through individuality:
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. – Albert Einstein Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it… the ethical comes into existence only in individuals. – Albert Schweitzer This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. – John Steinbeck
Beneath The Slogans The appeal to unity works, fundamentally, by abusing what Gustav Le Bon called “the instincts of the herd.” Ultimately it goes back to primate influences, but I’ve been covering that elsewhere and won’t delve into it today. It’s enough to say that unity operates mainly on an animal level. When you have a massive and unified movement – a large crowd thinking and acting together – individual virtues are squeezed out, rather like this:
-
- Listening to the leader displaces self-judgment.
-
- Following the leader displaces self-motivation.
-
- Lauding the courage of the leader displaces the courage to act alone.
-
- Quoting the words of the leader displaces self-responsibility.
If we want real and enduring progress in the world, we must make our own decisions, take responsibility for our lives, and muster the courage to act alone. Until we can do that, we won’t move the world forward by any appreciable amount. Mass movements and unifying leaders are devolutionary. So… So, if you need a pile of bodies to knock down other bodies, unity’s your ticket to it. If you want a large number of people to turn off their minds and follow you, unity is also your ticket. But if you want upright, creative and beneficial human beings, forget unity and start calling for individuality. It’s as individuals that we rise. United we fall. ** Paul Rosenberg freemansperspective.com
