Episode 47 – Escape Group Think and Return to Ourselves

Hosted by Tony Marinaccio | Newvision Oldways Podcast

Welcome back, Visioneers! In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, I take you on a journey through one of the most dangerous yet subtle forces shaping modern society — Group Think.

We live in a world where social media tells us who to be, what to feel, and even what to hate. But when did we stop thinking for ourselves? When did we start trading authenticity for applause?

I challenge us to step outside the noise and rediscover the courage to be original — to think, feel, and believe independently. This episode dives into the psychology of conformity, explores the dangers of collective outrage, and reminds us how silence, solitude, and truth reconnect us with our authentic selves.

🔹 In this episode:

• Why Group Think is so seductive — and so destructive
• How social media has turned individuality into performance
• The power of dissent and the sacred act of thinking for yourself
• Courage as the antidote to conformity
• Real-world stories that reveal what happens when thought is policed — and why we must protect the freedom to think and pray
• Practical ways to “return home” to your true self

I also revisit the success of the recent Gender Series with Dr. Mary Tiede and how it ties beautifully to today’s theme: the courage to have respectful discord and genuine conversation — without hate, fear, or violence.

This isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake — it’s an awakening. It’s remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. It’s learning to think with your own mind and feel with your own heart again.
