We stupid people are just mindless consumers according to most sociologist before Mr De Certeau (some French sociologist guy writing in the 80's, who spelt clothes like cloves!) who came along and developed the concept of ‘strategy’ and ‘tactic. 'Strategy' being what big incorporations and governments set up as ways for us consumers to navigate the world and effectively buy in to the norm set up by the man. The 'tactic' being the way that we end up adapting and remixing the set trend to a way that suits us best.
This concept can be set to many models, for example fashion. fashion houses will put out a style or a line for A/W whatever year, and the people will buy bits and pieces from many different stores and make an individual style.
very simplified; a tomtom tells you of the best way to get from point A to point B 'strategy' regardless of which is the scenic route or your favourite way to drive 'tactic'.
