Although I would agree with some of that, group think rather than critical thinking has led us down this path to self destruction... Because of the abuse and criticism that the critical thinker is subjected to, it wears their defenses down... Conviction in your beliefs helps mitigate the wearing down of your psyche as well as prayer and faith in our Holy Father... Cheers anon...
I agree with you about conviction in your beliefs -- which I see as being supported most strongly and unshakably by healthy childhood experience, as Jesus made clear. Without love and freedom (which includes age-appropriate levels of responsibility for one's actions) in childhood, it is all-too-easy for an adult to be led astray.
McGilchrist is talking about the necessary supporting structure of any group, including the exclusion of non-group members (not socially; interaction with others isn't what he's talking about here); about what DEFINES a group and what happens when that structure begins dissolving. And he's speaking of the IMPORTANCE of groups in human life.
