If a prey cannot escape it either tries to be 
motionless (like a frog when a snake approaches) 
or *goes berserk* trying to attack the carnivore.

have deep roots in general biology. Prophets are 
just those who go berserk socially. 

The really interesting question in this post is how 
the genes of *following a prophet* COULD APPEAR 
(Neil Tennant explained how they survive), because 
they do not seem to have analogies in biology.
