i think if you yelled fire in a crowded theater today, nobody would move.

Yeah, they'd be like,
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!".
or
"Shut up honky".
What gave you that assumption? A theater burn down killing all but one who yelled, "fire"?
either that or people would start shooting..
yell fire and you're a liar, but once they see smoke they'll run. today they teach us seeing is believing, or else your beliefs are dumb.
If the right person yells, they'll listen. If it's someone they don't know or ain't respecting, they'll shush em.
Yeah but the smoke is proof and truth. Until a belief is backed up by smoke it is still just that, a belief. Not truth.
When there is a sense of urgency and the risk of loss of life such as the case of a fire it would be wise to act without solid proof. Not all beliefs are the same and in some cases they are dumb.
HETEPU
they will check for signs of fire, then they'll react reasonably.
if someones in the theatre with you and yells FIRE from their seat, and you're look at the same theatre as them and there's no fire around then ppl will just look around and then tell him to shut up or shhh
if he runs in and yells fire ppl will check then run, but the checking is always gonna happen.
ppl want to confirm things before they react, or entertain their curiosity
yelling fire used to be a "don't check. just go" type deal.
thats why it was quasi-illegal to do it, because it caused unnecessary panic if there wasn't a fire.
so i guess i'm asking, what changed?
why do we no longer take people's word for it in the face of danger but on the other hand will take all kind of other shit at face value?
the every man for himself mentality
desensitized to violence
self destruction
people don't care no more
it's moving towards being everman and his robot
people will move further and further away from each other unless something changes the course
people are making their own movies and doing their own shows for themselves in their own basements - theaters and places of social gatherings will become less and less - people will take a computer/robot for a mate/partner

i say it changed because the masses used to look at everyone as a whole, but now its all about the individual. therefore someone yelling fire today we see as most likely a nut trying to entertain himself, rather than a member of the group trying to help the whole.
We have been told lies for too long. Lies from our parents, religious leaders, government officials and news media. Politicians turned out to be other than what they said they were same with 'role model' sports and acting stars. Promises are made and broken. Peoples' words for the most part are not bond. The truth is usually seen and rarely heard and we're coming into this realization.
