Features: Group mentality is a primordial state of humanity and society, generally existing in an unconscious or rational "tendency towards zero" potential state. Research on it aims to bring our social development closer to its fundamental purpose. Regardless of what "discipline" it is, there is a distinction between "the study of science" and "the study of philosophy." "Science" is a state of gradually and fundamentally aligning subjective human understanding with objective reality, as well as the ability to achieve such alignment. "Philosophy" is also a capability, generally having two aspects: its intrinsic nature, which is its wisdom, and its extrinsic nature, which is its expressive artistry. Only by organically combining or integrating these two aspects can it form a complete modern philosophical concept. Group behavior dominated by group mentality will soon become the primary factor influencing the survival, development, and direction of humanity in the 21st century. Whether humanity possesses benign and healthy group behavior patterns will directly determine whether it can ultimately emerge from the 21st century. Any form of group behavior is both an outlet for old emotions and a way of forming new emotions, generally carrying historical and contemporary inevitability. Humanity must master the ability to discover, nurture, enhance, and spread benign group mentality, while also mastering the ability to alleviate, disintegrate, break through, and control malignant group mentality.
