Group thought

Working together without being together involves everyone having a full and correct understanding of the situation.

In a recent experiment I partook in, we were randomly and anonymously assigned groups and were instructed to be working towards a common goal. What I assumed would happen is... well what happened. People got greedy and lost sight of reason and ended up short-changing the rest of us quite literally.

If everyone knew the intricacies of the instructions and knew how to maximize their part of the experiment without messing up the rest of us, things would have turned out a lot better. Since we couldn't communicate, it was impossible and all I could do is hope they came around.

Point is, I think this applies to the world in a lot of ways. There are common goals out there that people of different locations share, and I think the reason a lot of things don't get done very quickly, very efficiently, or at all is because people don't understand what's going on completely.

It just seems hopeless when people don't communicate about the problems they're experiencing and we run circles instead of getting things done.

This came out a lot more vague than I thought lol.

Still pending: G.I. Joe review, Paramore, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin reviews. I can probably do those three this weekend. We'll see.

  1. This is the lovely Krystyna commenting :-)

    I'm interested in your Paramore review. I love the new album. I don't think I love it as much as Riot, but it's a different creation and in some ways it's not really fair to compare them. But I'm sure you will spare no scathing word or criticism in your review. :-)

    Also, was that an experiment for like intro psych or something?

    I also have a blogspot that i never really wrote in, but if I start writing in it again, I will let you know and we can be blog buddies. Remember that horoscope compatibility thing that was like "take time out for your favorite activities, like blogging" ? he he he
