About this Quote

This quote by Peter Krause speaks to the dangers of groupthink. When large groups of individuals come together and try to believe the exact same thing, it can cause an absence of vital thinking and a lack of diversity of viewpoint. This can cause a circumstance where people are not questioning the beliefs of the group, and can lead to dangerous and severe beliefs. This can be seen in both political and religious contexts, where big groups of people can become radicalized and lead to violence and injustice. It is essential to remember that variety of viewpoint is very important, and that it is very important to question and challenge beliefs in order to make sure that we are not blindly following a group.
