Most people assume that the majority is right, that society is normal and sane, and that the misfit, dissident, loner or nonconformist is abnormal and possibly mentally ill. That’s what we are programmed and conditioned to believe. It is a classic “herd psychology”.
Many great thinkers, intellectuals and writers throughout history have said the opposite.
Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
Friederich Nietzsche
