I am amazed at how much you know. Caterpillars walking to their death? I am now worried about my own participation in group think and I “think” I will try to examine my motives vis-a-vis my belief system. Thanks Madelaine

Hi Elaine, and thx for weighing in here! Ok, so what if it is a challenge. Edwin Land said that anything worth doing is! Just planting seeds. All I ever aim to do, truth be told all we ever can!

It helped me better understand those with views different from I’m mine. I especially like your line “We are all right, based on what we can see, and not so much on what we can not. “ of course the challenge is getting group thinkers to recognize it or even try an exercise.
