'''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 is not allowed to act unless he got a majority vote in support from 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." —BT Bava Metzia 59b</ref>
