| − | 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]].

| − | 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.

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"/>}}
