Yes.

You mean there are misconceptions in the article, or the article exposes misconceptions by the public?
Jeff Wrangler:
That issue arrived in today's mail. I began reading the article over dinner tonight. I'll probably comment on it on my blog. ... 8)

--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on January 30, 2012, 11:29:03 am ---Interesting...In the article "Groupthink" by Jonah Lehrer, he throws out the counter theory that it is the process of debating and discussing ideas generated by a group that produces even more ideas. Without the debate, people are more creative on their own.

I finished this over lunch today. The part I liked best was the history of Building 20 at M.I.T. I'd never heard any of that before.
Jeff Wrangler:
I have received the annual anniversary issue, the one with Eustace Tilley on the cover. ;D
I immediately read Jonathan Franzen's article on Edith Wharton, who is an author I'm more interested in reading about than reading. ;D ::)
I managed to get through high school and college without reading Ethan Frome. The closest I've come to Edith Wharton was the movie of The Age of Innocence, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeifer, some scenes of which were filmed at the venerable Academy of Music here in Philadelphia.
Though I must say, after reading Franzen's article, I am a bit curious about a book whose main character is named Undine Spragg. ;D
