Pure Expression for a Collective Thought

Self expression is vital to a person's mental health. Each human has their own relative universe concocted by their experiences and understandings, and we are only keenly aware of our point of perception. We must learn to communicate with others as accurately as possible to express and discuss to form collective understandings of everything. Without honest and accurate expression, one's individually perceived universe is isolated among a sea of other individual universes. We as individuals have many tendencies to misthink; that is, to make errors of logic, form biases, not understand, etcetera. An ideal collective thought formed through shared expressions would have been examined and tested from many different points of perception and thus more likely to accurately depict the actual universe; the one from no viewpoint.

A collective thought like this could exist in pure form if humans would be polite in conversation yet not afraid to rationally ponder contradicting statements.
