- kragen 4y agoMostly the world changes due to unpredictable emergent phenomena, but occasionally you do get intentional changes as well. But intention is individual, not collective; there's no such thing as collective intention. At best you have many people's intentions in agreement. Rarely does that arise in a workplace.
- psychoslave 4y agoWhat do you mean with "collective intention"? A person intention is the result of collective effort of its neurons. Things like collective representations and collective unconscious are well established concepts. Whether these things positively exists outside of one mental experiment is an other matter, but so is the notion of individual and self.
