there is theory on that, and this is more a rule than an exception. Mindguard emerge on the motivation to be thanked for their efforts to enforce the groupthink. There is a feeling of sacrifice, morality, which tend to be unconditional, and justify horrific behaviors perceived as required for the sake of public interest.
Note that in many situation this is a good thing that some people stops bad behaviors, like some people engage into resistance or the army. Problem is that sometime it is defending the wrong position, and nobody can make the difference between the good and the bad. This is what Kuhn call incommensurability of paradigm, what feyerabend explains to justify "scientific anarchism". Mindguard emergence is an heuristic, done to quickly go the the most probable good state. My feeling is that there is also an innate tendency of a minority of humans to dissent which is the solution to that majority behavior. As Roland Benabou concludes in his papers on Groupthink, freedom of speech, is a requirement to prevent groupthink. Each time you see that FOS is not respected for what seems a good reason, be afraid. It looks good, but it can really prevent a reality to emerge. I agree that some speech are really annoying if not criminal, but many good speech, who bring goodness to humanity, have been flagged as criminal speech. my feeling is that there is no way to separate good from bad, perfectly. 2015-11-23 18:50 GMT+01:00 Lennart Thornros <[email protected]>: > It is hard to understand that some people are more interested in judging > than arguing the content.
