Was reading about a guy who previously ran a restaurant and then moved into tech. Said tech was a money making hack compared to running a restaurant. Are we all standing next to a waterfall patting ourselves on the back for collecting water?
Though you meant that sarcastically, the truth is that it's hard to become rich as an investor without being independent-minded. In investing, as in science, it's not enough just to be right. You have to be right when everyone else is wrong.

I don't think everything should be a market, or that everyone should be an entrepreneur. If I did, I'd have said so, because those are both extremely strong statements, and essayists love it when they can truthfully make one of those. http://paulgraham.com/useful.html

I’m sure independent thinking is what got you there, but that’s no longer the case. When’s the last time YC made an investment in a company that everyone else disagreed with? It’s been a while. Now the formerly independent YC model has transformed into the new groupthink.

Isn't it more like: you have to be right when everyone else is wrong *or simply ignorant*?
