Comment Herd mentality, what a joke (Score 1) 191
McPhail in _The Myth of the Madding Crowd (Social Institutions and Social Change)_ confronts this notion of the crowd acting in a herd-like mentality much like that of cows or sheep and shows that it is an error caused by incomplete understanding of crowd dynamics. If this Yale expert really knew what he was talking about he'd have read the research and known that the herd mentality theory of crowds has been dead for years. If he's wrong about that what other B.S. is he cranking out.
