Summary: Collective intelligence is explained as an emergent organizing principle. Ants, bees, fungi, herd mammals (Sheep for example.), avians, and US (Humans): we share an observed behavior to various degrees: in that as groups, we input and act on macro information sets with adaptive behaviors to show a distinct group reaction as a unitary result. Ants travel around in circles, when a lead ant follows a food trail. Humans go to war when an idiot decides it is a good idea for his nation to loot an adjacent nation. These circular group movements, are not too dissimilar from each other, in the initiative impulse, “to follow the lead stimulus (Cref "(mis)information cascade" as described in the video.), which results in the group's destruction”.
You can see the final results in the dead ants (nature documentary) and the dead Russians. (Ukraine War news reportage.).
As smart Humans, (Let you and him fight, and I'll deal with the weakened winner.), we can EXPLOIT this phenomenon.

Yeah, this is completely off the rails; Monk-mode. I originally thought this was discipline in a human being. Sabine ties it to becoming a human adult, but I tend to think "monk mode", in this context; is one of those group think trends that afflicts human beings every generation or so. See my previous posts above for what I think it actually is.
Dopamine release, as measured, is the defined metric that backs up observed gambler and social media and drug addict stupidity, but as with the "monk mode" yo-yos, who preach abstinence for everybody as a way of life guaranteed to assure success, you have to dig into the actual data to make a valid observation. The actual SCIENCE, shows a kind of bell curve distribution in the human population as to the dopamine trigger release. That kind of makes the monk mode gurus' claims invalid. Most of us, tend toward the middle of the curve, which means most of us will not become ascetics or addicts. We should be fine with that old human behavioral wisdom of "All things in moderation". It really, aside from the medically useful physiological data that allows human beings at the ends of the dopamine release curve to adjust their behaviors consciously to successfully humanly function, is NOT an endorsement for all of us to become Buddhists, which I personally "feel" is another form of group think stupidity.
