The larger a group of people become…the blinder they are?
ByDoes the larger a group of people become…the blinder they are?
It seems that the bigger the organization, affiliation, association, company, etc…the more it loses touch with it’s customer and employee base. It becomes a monster that needs to constantly feed on great amounts at the expense of us.
Drug companies, big oil,…….Walmart!
For example: compare the humble hamburger from the biggest Mcchain and one from your neighborhood bar or eatery.
Agree or disagree?
Please elaborate if you can. I won’t bite.
It depends on the type of group. Corporations are only interested in the bottom line; their wallets. I don’t think they are blind at all… I think they see clearly but just don’t care cuz we buy their stuff anyway. Here’s a newsflash: The drug companies don’t give a sh*t if we are sick or healthy (actually, they prefer us to be sick cuz then we buy more drugs) they are in it for the $$ like any other big business.
But there are many different types of groups and organizations and people come together for different reasons. Large families, school groups, charitable causes; these types of groups depend heavily on the hierarchy of their group to keep its integrity… wise leaders create wise followers.
The big exception would be religious groups, because in their case, they follow blindly because that is what they are supposed to do. The problem is that these groups are so strong due to their size and popularity. It’s a little frightening.
I agree. It kind of ties into the whole "mob mentality" if you will.

Yes I agree, the problem is in the success. Smaller companies are more personable and the owners are usually just one or two people who interact with the clients. In larger companies there are way to many people at the top and a need to make money, usually for stock holders. That means usually having to make cuts in quality and personal service they give the customers.

it’s called massive suggestion
one of the oldest "and effective " forms of psychological control.
as far as leaders go
it starts by subtly planting several recruits in the crowd in places that would be most noticeable by the rest. shouting or chanting "on cue" during certain parts of a speech. "even getting physical"
that’s how Hitler along with just about every other dictator that came after him. where able to rally so many people to their cause.
it sinks in without them even realizing it,

Interesting observation.
Well, for one thing, large corporations and chains have a tendency to compartmentalize, and the compartments are pyramided into smaller and smaller tasks. So that the guy who broils and places cheese on the burger is not using any brain functions at all at this lower level of the pyramid. And of course, with the example you mention, a fast food chain, they follow a steadfast, pat, formula of how to make their "factory" burgers.
With large companies, with separate compartments, and where each compartment is tasked for certain functions, efficiency per dollar, is how it works.
Money is blinding. The most open minds are those who can create or experiment, knowing the funds are provided. This allows brain storming and innovating ideas, and actual detail and thought and dedication put into their job. Lack of money is lack of vision, since money is so important to food & shelter.
