[ATTACH=full]167012[/ATTACH][USER=7416]@Captain_Chaza[/USER], Charles Mackay's statement highlights the tendency of people to think and behave in groups, or "herds", which I believe is akin to the concept of "tribal" behaviour. Our (ASF) community is centred around trading and is a prime example of how people with a shared passion can come together to learn and grow.The phrase "they go mad in herds" suggests that people can become swept up in a shared delusion or obsession, but it also implies that they can learn something new when information is presented engagingly. This is one of the main goals of this thread, to provide a platform for members to learn and grow, not by telling them "what to think", but by teaching them "how to think" critically and independently.The second part of Mackay's statement, "while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one," suggests that individuals tend to come to their senses gradually, as they break free from the influence of the group and begin to think for themselves again, which is the "end game of this educational thread".The "Dump it here" thread aims to facilitate that process by encouraging members to question their assumptions, challenge their beliefs, and think outside the box. It's a gradual process, but one that ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of the markets and better decision-making abilities.Thank you [USER=7416]@Captain_Chaza[/USER], for making such an inspirational post.Skate.
