Do you think that neurological diversity makes sense for a group species?


Option A
Obviously a group species would be much stronger if they all think exactly the same so that they can all work on the same task in the same way and can all understand each other very easily, this is why persecution is natural to humans so that we can strengthen our group as a whole by getting rid of incompatible people.


Option B
Obviously a group species would be much stronger if the different members can provide alternative views and solutions to be considered and can be specialists in different tasks, adding to the functions of the whole. The diversity of thought calls for tolerance and understanding for the group to work effectively and risks persecution which would weaken the whole.


Option C
I disagree with both and have provided my own opinion below

It's a matter of science not our opinions...

Science is also a matter of opinions. The opinions of those doing science. Yeah, some things are very much knowns. Like, no, the earth is not flat. But there are many areas where there's room for differing opinions.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with non-scientists having their own opinions on scientific issues.

And I think there is a decent scientific answer to this question, or a set of answers to choose from together with scientific reasons. That's the only opinion to have.
