The herd#
Summary#
The herd represents the collective mass of society that values conformity, mediocrity, and self-equalization above individual distinction. Anything that elevates a person above the herd and inspires fear in others is branded as evil, while tolerant, unassuming, self-adapting dispositions attain moral honor. The herd’s morality is fundamentally rooted in fear, with its ultimate aim being the elimination of anything to fear.
