Imagine walking through the mall

All is fine

All is normal

A man near you falls to the ground clutching his chest

A heart attack

People react

Pointing, yelling, crying

All count on the other to get help

To act

To save

They all realize the immediate danger

Yet rely on the group's consciousness

To save the man

But no one does
