Question

Answer 1

Thinking surely is most expressive of unique individuality of our persons. Without our peculiar thoughts, personal opinions and novel ideas, we simply would not know who we are; we would be lost in an instant like a whimper in a crowed place.

They say that the best minds think alike, but I would argue that they might consider similar facts in their pursuit of truth and reach their objective truth similarly, but there is great deal along the way the distinctively mark one thinking mind from the other – as the best minds and greatest people have so often been observed to have tendencies of solitary life.

I would like say that for the best in our mind, and our heart, we would always think alone. As there simply is no better way, no one else would ever understand exactly how we feel and how subtly we communicate within the inner most recesses of our being, often not even us.

To think alone is for me and that I take for reality of other people’s thinking too. This might be true that we think alone, but we are always mindful of other people. In this sense sometimes the best way to think collectively is when we are alone to think with the mind that cannot be anything but a collective self, fair and free from personal inhibitions and prejudices, open to all possibilities of the world that it essentially is.

Both Cognitive Situations Benefit Me, But It Is When I Am Alone That I Can Compose The 'Collective Knowledge' Aquired During A Congested Day Of People.

Answer 3

Thoughts can sometimes be generated better when done in a classroom for instance as opposed to a long distance course where you work alone. I found it better to be in a classroom where others ask questions too.

Being in a classroom with an ex boyfriend for instance can sour your thinking, so I have found. So I decided to take the same course at another school and did brilliantly. It is a very individual preference.

Answer 4

Normally alone, but I could never complete the Daily Telegraph crossword. When we were in Hong Kong the South China Morning Post carried these crosswords. Sometimes a colleague would ask me about some of the clues he couldn't solve. I solved them for him. Could be two great minds think alike, or simply because I welcomed his challenge.

Answer 5

"Alone" is in Reality "All One." Mere "collectivism" lowers the mentation quotient, a la thinking by committee. The other error, idiopathy, is equally false.

Husserl's intersubjective community of Pure Ego monads approaches the Communion of Saints, the Community of the Holy Spirit.

It is the case that no one is of the Community or Brotherhood save those who are expressing the Holy Spirit of Community via their own Holy Christ Self individuation, Plotinus' One Mind Soul-individuation.

For an undergraduate level approach to this, Mark Prophet's "Climb the Highest Mountain" is recommended.

Answer 6

It is only possible to think alone, unless you have multiple personality disorder. Collectively, you are brainstorming.

[edit] If you are asking which, to me, facilitates a more productive atmosphere, I cannot compare them.

While brainstorming is excellent for gaining access to alternative views, and accumulating information, it leaves little time to actually process that new information. So I tend to just listen when I am in a group, only occasionally interjection opinions.
Alone, I can explore the ideas and information that I have accumulated in much more detail, and in a way that flows for me.

Answer 7

I think better alone. I usually have a little brainstorm with myself, then run it past others to see how it washes out. Then I might "brainstorm" silently and adjust my thinking. Brainstorming is good in a business meeting where you throw out ideas, but you need some quiet, alone time to sort things out.

Answer 8

I like to work independently, occasionally, even though I already know everything, I have to ask someone to help jog my memory, and then I go from there. I can't stand when people don't let me speak the second a thought comes to mind, but I am very polite to myself, and always let me speak.

Answer 9

Great question it depends on the situation I think alone but I ask others for opinions and sometimes I get side tracked from them which is very bad!!!!

If it is a group project that effects many people than its better to hear many sides of the coin by a group.........

If it is my own personal life at state than I think better by myself to make that decision .....

Answer 10

I think better alone, but collectively I may like another's idea better but when it comes down to it I don't want what I think to be the best idea, (even if it's not originally mine) to be cast aside. So, over all, I'll stick with alone.
