Marcus Aurelius would agree: "beware the dangers of Groupthink!"
"Ancient:
"If it be right and honest to be spoken or done, undervalue not thyself so much, as to be discouraged from it." from The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
Modern:
"... beware the dangers of Groupthink! Just because all your mates think it’s a good idea is not a good reason for agreeing something – co-operatives need assertive members who think for themselves and share their opinions including fears and reservations." from: Cooperantics
Cooperatives are actually the anti-thesis of the accusation that we of "communitarian ideology" do not think critically and scientifically. To the contrary -principled critical thinking is essential to real cooperation.
Peace and Full Potential for All,
