I've recently started vlogging and despite my normal ability to wax philosophical extemporaneously most of the time I seem to lack that swagger when the camera kicks on. So now I am making an attempt to generate ideas through the practice of blogging once again. I seem to have a bit more access to the thinking part of my brain when I do this. Maybe it's just because I've practiced it?
Additionally, I have started writing some thoughts down in the notes app in my phone to aid in this process as well. Today the two things I wrote down will be my main topics to address here.
Is groupthink bad? Or, when is groupthink bad? I realize it can be a beneficial thing from time to time. But is it more frequently the case that it is something one would consider bad? I had the thought today that it might be specifically anti-progressive. Not the political version of progressive specifically but I think it could be applied to that as well. Basically... when staying within the lines of groupthink does innovation become stifled? Or is there the possibility of greater exploration of the nuanced and repetitive? Does it enable a greater form of refinement and polish? I don't really know. I just think it bears some time in reflection and analysis.
Today I discovered that I somehow missed clipping one of my fingernails a few days ago. I am not sure I have ever done that before and it was quite a weird discovery! That means I missed it while clipping the other nails AND I missed it every day since then... have I become that less observant about myself? Very strange. Such is life.
