I saw this a few days ago and was thinking the same thing. We as humans have the same instinctive nature to follow someone who we think knows where they’re going, the leader, the alpha, along with the perception that others are as well which confirms the belief. This is the survival instinct of the markets and it’s not a good one, and the video is such a great analogy of it.
