Who was the original thinker

The article addresses the phenomenon of collective thinking on social media platforms and its impact on shaping public opinion. It explains that frequent discussion of a particular topic does not necessarily lead to accurate or sound conviction; in fact, it may contribute to distorting the image of consensus due to recommendation algorithms that promote familiar content and feed into "filter bubbles." It also highlights the dangers of relying on group opinion without scrutinizing evidence, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and independence in forming viewpoints—especially in the context of practices like the "spiral of silence," which push individuals to hide their opinions out of fear of social isolation. Finally, it stresses that genuine media literacy requires the ability to question and verify sources, rather than merely relying on the popularity or headlines of content, noting that directives and algorithms may present an incomplete picture of society and ideas.
