Subject: sgalli: the problem has to be mine, not the "group": which is what the "group" has to think.,
since the "group" is taught that its cognitive responces must be superior to the individual.
Actually, group think is the essence of all dogmatic tyrannies and the thing the Founders of the USA saw as a possibility in wildfire "democracy".
By the way, my undergraduate minor was in Sociology: I probably have a better grasp of its principles than your esteemed self.
I recall a professor making a statement after teaching a group of eighteen of us students a critical thinking course: Each of you has become a threat to the gut thinking group thinkers, and you shall experience hostility in your social encounters with them from now on.
Was he speaking from the gut? Or did he have an insight into the sociology of group thinkers?
