Axiom 10: Consensus
Disregard majority decision. It is probably wrong
Dont believe anything until you have verified it.
Minor Axiom XIV: Never follow speculative fads. Often the best time to buy something is when nobody else wants it.
"Am I making this decision because it's smart or because a majority thinks that it's smart ? "
Whatever you do, whether you bet with the herd or aginst, think it through independently first.
And the herd isn't always wrong.
The majority, though not always and automatically wrong, is more likely to be wrong than right.
