      The good news is, your sleepwalking direction may become fashionable more than once. Then it’s like “he where did all these people come from?”

      Sometimes sticking to a direction requires changing vehicles. If you ever go to the Top of Europe in Switzerland, you’ll change trains twice on the same track. From broad gauge to narrow gauge to a funicular. Really cool btw.https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/

      Actually crowds don’t turn either. Instead some old members die and new young members enter on quasi-random new headings so average vector does a sort of slow random walk.

      The most alive people are the ones who turn, to align with the deadest people (“leaders”) they can project their desired direction on because living energy is scary to own directly. The most powerful leaders are the literally dead ones, aka martyrs, Straussian greats etc.

          Optimal aliveness is not 100%. More like 84%. The dead part leads via crashing, unsteered momentum. The live part is dragged along screaming for its own good. “Acting dead” is really when the live part tries to lead the dead part. Never works. Turns into a drag.

          It's the same as that passive investment theory. Don't try to beat the market.
