Interesting. So I guess we could say, then, that hive mind smartens people up, and group think dumbs people down.

I wonder why some people use them interchangeably. They must be the dumbed down ones!

Right. Group think DEMANDS that everyone think the same way. No dissention is permitted or you will be annihilated.

Hive mind allows for independent thinking and action while we all work toward a common goal. Disagreement is not seen as threatening, so it’s permitted and even encouraged if it’s constructive and furthers the common goal.

I think we have a hive mind here and we’ve seen many examples of group think BTT.
