Lots of humans even with good academia are followers. They follow the mass. It's not idiotic. If the group does this, it should not be bad or present a risk. It's quite rational. If people eat apples, it's safe and I can eat them too.

They use a similar reflexion with our socio-economical system. They follow.

It depends on whom we follow. Here, sociopathy plays a role. They are often more prompt to embrace power and favor selfishness.
