| − | Canadian academic [[John McMurtry]] introduced the concept of the '''regulating group mind''' in his 2004 paper, [[File:Understanding 911 and 911 wars.pdf | Understanding 9/11 And The 9/11 wars]].

| − | {{QB|The facts of 9-11 which are disconnected from are now copiously documented. But why and how these facts are ruled out by the masses and elites at the same time is not explained. The argument has been at the first-order level of the facts, not the lawlike operations on the facts by the collective thought-system that selects, ignores and reconnects them in new form - what I call the “regulating group-mind” (RGM). Only when we understand this meta-level of constructing the facts and their meaning in accordance with their conformity to and expression of a pre-existing structure of understanding can we know what is going on or, more specifically, can we find our way out of the anomalies and disconnects of our era.<ref name="911wars">[[File:Understanding 911 and 911 wars.pdf]], by [[John McMurtry]]</ref>}}

| |
| − | McMurtry's suggestion has an interesting (and unexplored) connection with the theories of [[Graham Gynn]] and [[Tony Wright]] about the confabulations of the (life-blind) left-hemisphere of the brain's uncanny ability to deceive itself about its limited comprehension of the facts by confabulation of erroneous explanations for otherwise unexplained events.

| − | {{QB|The RGM may lie behind every systematic social pathology of our era. In each case, it blocks out facts and connections of life-and-death significance, and in each instance, its exclusion is a variation on one life-blind thought regime, the “shadow subject” of our era.<ref name="911wars"/>}}
