Konsens ist kein Beweis. Oft ist er nur ein Symptom.
Groupthink erklärt, warum Gruppen sich einig fühlen – und trotzdem irren.

Business leaders: Don’t worry about corporate downsizing, everyone should Learn To Code to find great jobs!

Also business leaders: Why do we need overpaid software developers when we can just use AI to write all the software we need!

Me: Why do we need overpaid MBAs when we can just use AI to regurgitate articles from Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, etc.?

How We Ended Up Raising the Stupidest Generation

#groupthink

Anti-groupthink is the groupthink of the anti-groupthink group.

@Longwing But there's also #groupthink and polarisation and folk who see debating as somehow being an attack on them. But it is nice enough. :)

If there's one constant with me, it's that a trend, craze, fad, in thing, hot new thing, latest thing, best-selling thing, mania, fashion, or chic is a clear sign to back away, smirking, and stick to what *I* find worthy of my attention, because bandwagons lead us to stupidity and worse, not to enlightenment.

‘The more uniform teams are, the more reluctant members are to disrupt perceived cohesion, which may prevent them from offering information that is considered unusual but could be highly relevant.

‘They are more likely to believe in false consensus, to fall into #groupThink, for fear of damaging the solidarity of the group, and to cling to outdated models. They also tend to be emotionally biased towards members of the ingroup, to the point of justifying their violations of norms.’

"Many people in IT […] are bearers of ‘bad news’, they try to convince people of different paradigms, which are not yet welcome as the expectations are still based on poor ideas about what is assumed to work. Making their life worse is a constant stream of bad Enterprise/IT Architects–Strategists that—generally as consultants—bring welcome (but faulty) good news to the top."
