I must not fear

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

-Frank Herbert, Dune, Litany Against Fear

This is the Ant Death Spiral. Ants end up following the pheromones of one another, and they get stuck like this and eventually they can die of exhaustion.
