What I Believe: About Group Decision-Making

Making good decisions is very difficult. And making good group decisions is even more difficult. That’s because it requires thinking. It requires moving the mind against the grain of conventionality. It mandates rigorous and constant self-criticism. And the questioning of every thought that feels right and comfortable.

I believe that most people spend very little time thinking. Really thinking. Instead, they busy their brains with unexamined facts and the undigested opinions of others.

Quick test: If your thoughts adhere consistently to any doctrine, ideology, or philosophy, you are not thinking.
