Reflection is thought unnecessary by the vast majority of humans today, both in science and out of it, both at RG debates and out of it. Can we continue to grow in intellectual stature without reflection? Why do we feel only we have the best answers or that we have a special dispensation for intellect? Is this not a direct outcome of narcissism? Are we willing to pay the price to prove our contention or maintain our narcissism?

Although it may be true that many don’t value Reflection, it really is the key for progressing knowledge

I would dare to say a bit of both ... although, I believe it helps to research an answer, contemplate wording, and compose a response offline before posting directly to ResearchGate...

- The roles of instinct and reflection in research, philosophy, and common humdrum existence are entirely different and divergent and do not overlap.
- It is in politics that we say "yes" and "no" to any issue in the same breath or in uncertainty or in the state of deliberate ambiguation to confuse and to cofabulate.
- Fence-sitters on RG and those who remove their own comments when faced with the shame of ignorance as in this question-thread neither appreciate what is instinct nor what is reflection.
