I had a thought about groupthink. There is a prevalent lack of critical thinking within our society right now—that’s plain to see. People who identify on the right or the left abhor everything done and said by the actors on the other side. Our news is biased and we feed right into it, failing to see the flaws of our own lens.

But I frequently call for global consciousness in my writing, for humanity to unite around a common purpose of contribution to the future and the universe. Yet, how does this differ from the groupthink within our political and class system above? Is it not the same thing? Am I not calling for psychological submission, only to a different end?

I believe there is a difference. Uniting humanity around a singular pursuit of peace and prosperity and elevating global consciousness can be undertaken by every single person on this planet, each in their own individual way. It doesn’t diminish our individual thoughts, actions, or gifts. We don’t all have to do exactly the same thing, we can pitch in how we are able.

There are fundamental truths that cannot rationally be argued against. We are one group, spread out around this floating sphere in the relative crowd of the Milky Way galaxy. All of our actions impact others; we live within one large ecological system. The sooner we can see that, the sooner we can change the world.
