Regression

Charlie Munger Investor, Businessman

"Mimicking the herd invites regression to the mean."

Henri Nouwen Theologian, Author

"When suddenly you seem to lose all you thought you had gained, do not despair. You must expect setbacks and regressions. Don't say to yourself "All is lost. I have to start all over again." This is not true. What you have gained you have gained....When you return to the the road, you return to the place where you left it, not to where you started."

Charlie Munger Investor, Businessman

"There is bound to be a regression toward the mean."

Noam Chomsky Linguist, Philosopher, Activist

"The current period of regression is registering some success in "producing people" who are subordinated to external power, diverted to such "superficial things" as "fashionable consumption" and other pursuits more fitting for the "bewildered herd" than participation in determining the course of individual and social life."
