“Zer0, leading from behind again”

Author Larry Niven created a herd mentality herbivore race called the Puppeteers. They were pathologically passive; except when they needed to defend themselves. They generally defended by hiding or running away. (Sound familiar? The Puppeteers comes to mind when they tell kids to hide from killers by ducking under a desk.) The most important leader was The Hindmost.” He leads from behind. That’s because the front of the herd encounters predators. It’s safe behind the herd.
