The great existential threat to social evolution on our planet today is groupthink [see photo].
Groupthink is everywhere in 2021 and the results of it is "sameness". This sameness is evident in the social movements which propagate diversity-equity-inclusion policies in corporate boardrooms, college lecture rooms, the halls of power within local communities, and into the peak forums of global governments.
But what is this thing that has brought us such inane ideas as cancel culture, new green deals, intersectional politics, etc?
Well... Perhaps groupthink can best be expressed as a formula in the following terms:
Emotions x Ideology / Intellect
Emotions as expressed by feelings, desires, wants, etc.
Ideology as expressed by belief sets, confirmation biases, religious affiliations, etc.
Intellect as expressed by IQ, common sense, rational thinking, etc.
