Earthlings tend to be more courageous when they are with organisms of like type: does that seeming principle also apply to Those of Us Who Are Suicidal? ( would We be more willing to CTB via leaping from a bridge if thirty of Us arrived en-masse?)

Haha this kind of made me laugh. I can just see like 50 people running off a cliff all lemmings style

The principle definitely applies. It's why the media often doesn't post news about suicides... It can create a copy cat effect
