I'm in the middle of a classic text called "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay, which details everything from the history of alchemy and the pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone, to Tulipmania, the origins of paper money, the Crusades, the rise and fall of great cities, and a host of topics that shed light on the fallacies humanity has wanted to believe throughout time, as well as their consequences. One passage that resonates particularly strongly with me reads: "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." Its a page by page reminder that truth is nearly always stranger than fiction!
