Don’t read wiki articles on psychology, they are usually totally wrong and will heavily mislead you as the essense of the given subject are not grasped, seen many here parrot many wiki articles which are blatantly wrong or heavily lacking.
Groupthink
See some youtube vids about it, it will show the way people are swayed subconciously, and groupthink in itself is a extremely powerful tool, if you think about it it’s how demagogues can seduce the populus.
Unfortunaly many groupthinkers lacks rationallity and can’t make sound judgement, but they usually have a very strong belief that they are very able to judge and think for themselves, even in small matters they will utterly fail.
Yes, they are more or less the same, specially when looking deeper into group think like the Millgram Experiment that was provoked by the terrible waratrosseties in 'Nam!
Dear zinnat13 i know you feel sad and are all crybaby, because i shatterd your hopes and dreams with my harsh critique, but least it was relevant and spot on. So to elevate youself from being a cozy chatter, you need to comprehend the difference between a flame/troll and relevance.
Just because a critique is harsh, doesn’t nessesarily mean it’s irrelevant, but don’t worry, neither doesn’t most other here comprehend that.
I would have been welcomed you a million times if you were able to criticise me in real sense. Actually, you did not criticise me much personally. My objection is about your general attitude towards all members.
Just hit the tab View my posts and try to see honestly what kind of your criticism is.
You never engage in the real subject. Perhaps it is beyond your capabilities.
I would like to invite/challenge you criticise my any post here at ILP, since my joining. Just pick and choose.I am very eager to see the wisom of a professionally trained philosopher because i am a naive one.
I think that you had enough from me and i would not uselessly pop up again to interrupt you, unless and untill, you refrain yourself from doing so with anyone else.
Talk about the subject or keep away.
Nevertheless, good luck with your thread once again. Carry on.
If my tone really was that bad, you would have just reported my posts, no the real issue is that you are scorned.
You don’t understand that if there are too many burning houses the job isn’t only to put out the fires, but also catch the pyromaniac and deal with him. Real philosophy must deal in all aspects of an issue, not just the obvious.
No group think and stockholm syndrome, not By Proxy it’s a solo thing unrelating to the others.
It was just to give the pather dude an resume of the weird things out there.
medical-dictionary.thefreedictio … m+syndrome How do you get they are close?

WTF are you saying? Please try again
But you claimed groupthink was Munchausen and that is not even close to groupthinking. Group thinking is about fear pain rejection , fear of punishment for being different. You are compliant to your captors, the group. Not at all like Munchausen.
