Do you agree with the majority?

[RZ1029]

I like this question. It's so very loaded. By nature, people want to think they're independent thinkers who never just go with the majority. More often than not, we're in the majority by not being in the majority, if that makes sense. For every person that stands up to say they don't want to be in the majority, they just come a little closer to being the majority.

 

I'm going to answer: when it suits me, because it's true. Sometimes I disagree with most people, sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I disagree and go with it, for better or worse.

I tend to distrust sources that have a Majority in its place because I feel that information can be tampered with. How can you agree with something that may or may not be there after all. Due to my inherent distrust of many statistics that have no real evidence, I find myself siding with the minority often because that minority may be the majority.

 

I find this to be a debate that comes close to a debate about statistics, which of course is debatable in itself on whether truth of lie.

 

thanks for listening.

Just to let you all know, by voting no about agreeing with the majority you all agree with a type of majority.

 

Also, I am assuming this means the majority of all issues in the world.

 

No one can really be sure, since we don't have stats on every single opinion in the world...
