Without Leaders

Referring back to the debate on Tuesday about whether or not things can happen without being told and create a smart mob, I believe at some point, somebody has to be the one to initiate the process.  After that initial first step than the smart mob can then become self sustaining.  But, that cannot happen unless the first leader did his part.

Everything has to start somewhere and I don't think that natural instincts can be an example.  Nobody told humans that we have to breathe, but it is a natural thing to do.  That is not something that can be controlled, you do not have a choice.  Everybody meeting for a protest, has made a choice to join in or follow somebody else.  It always has to start from something or someone.

  1. It totally has to start somewhere. I mean, there might be a group of people with the same idea that want to start a movement or a "smart mob", but ultimately there will be only one person to say, "Lets do this" and it actually will get done.
