Konsens ist kein Beweis. Oft ist er nur ein Symptom.
Groupthink erklärt, warum Gruppen sich einig fühlen – und trotzdem irren.

Business leaders: Don’t worry about corporate downsizing, everyone should Learn To Code to find great jobs!
Also business leaders: Why do we need overpaid software developers when we can just use AI to write all the software we need!
Me: Why do we need overpaid MBAs when we can just use AI to regurgitate articles from Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, etc.?

@Longwing But there's also #groupthink and polarisation and folk who see debating as somehow being an attack on them. But it is nice enough. :)
If there's one constant with me, it's that a trend, craze, fad, in thing, hot new thing, latest thing, best-selling thing, mania, fashion, or chic is a clear sign to back away, smirking, and stick to what *I* find worthy of my attention, because bandwagons lead us to stupidity and worse, not to enlightenment.
Crowd psychology meets behavioral economics, and the result isn’t Jekyll becoming Hyde—it’s Hyde on a megaphone.
Le Bon argued that rational individuals lose their reason in a crowd. But modern behavioral science shows the “rational individual” never existed in the first place.

‘The more uniform teams are, the more reluctant members are to disrupt perceived cohesion, which may prevent them from offering information that is considered unusual but could be highly relevant.
‘They are more likely to believe in false consensus, to fall into #groupThink, for fear of damaging the solidarity of the group, and to cling to outdated models. They also tend to be emotionally biased towards members of the ingroup, to the point of justifying their violations of norms.’
Samah Karaki
"Many people in IT […] are bearers of ‘bad news’, they try to convince people of different paradigms, which are not yet welcome as the expectations are still based on poor ideas about what is assumed to work. Making their life worse is a constant stream of bad Enterprise/IT Architects–Strategists that—generally as consultants—bring welcome (but faulty) good news to the top."

🤐 3. Groupthink
When unity matters more than honesty, the group adopts a safe narrative.
Voices that challenge the story? Silenced.
Justice? Too disruptive.
Truth? Replaced by consensus.

This will probably be my first and last post about an animated family film, but I've never heard the term "bean mouth" until Elio.
This is a manufactured issue. People saw this criticism and thought they had to fall in line. It's yet another example of people being toxic and negative because they're trying to emulate something they're seeing online.
Don't let the internet program you. It's fucking stupid.
#Philosophy and #logic should be required courses valued in any #STEM #education, not "liberal arts" electives. #Science desperately needs #interdisciplinary thinkers to #innovate pressing #problems, not #groupthink #human robots marching in lockstep to #ConventionalWisdom
#Science needs #creativity, not more #groupthink, for true #innovation. We haven't figured out the #answer to #reality yet!
Escape the Group Mind - a16z
A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
On every hand are the enemies of individuality and mental freedom. Custom meets us at the cradle and leaves us only at the tomb. Our first questions are answered by ignorance, and our last by superstition. We are pushed and dragged by countless hands along the beaten track, and our entire training can be summed up in the word –suppression. Our desire to have a thing or to do a thing is considered as conclusive evidence that we ought not to have it, and ought not to do it. At every turn we run against cherubim and a flaming sword guarding some entrance to the Eden of our desire. We are allowed to investigate all subjects in which we feel no particular interest, and to express the opinions of the majority with the utmost freedom. We are taught that liberty of speech should never be carried to the extent of contradicting the dead witnesses of a popular superstition. Society offers continual rewards for self-betrayal, and they are nearly all earned and claimed, and some are paid.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society
