'''Groupthink''' is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of individuals in which the quest for harmony/conformity within the group results in irrational and/or poor decision-making. One early instance of groupthink was depicted in the Babylonic [[Talmud]], where it claimed that not only did the Jewish people no longer need God after their encounter at Mt. Sinai, but also claimed that God must be made subservient to a majority vote of the Rabbinic council.<ref>"Since God already gave the Torah to the Jewish people on Mt. Sinai we no longer pay attention to heavenly voices. God must submit to the decisions of a majority vote of the rabbis." —Babylonic Talmud Bava Metzia 59b</ref>
