As I read your post, it mad me think the ultimate goal might just be we all learn to settle out differences and start working together to solve problems. Whether in stupidity or not, the message from everywhere is "we need to work together".
I suspect like you, I am not one who loves herd mentality on the surface. It's boring and sucks. Through reading these books, I realize now what they meant that ideology must pass away and Groupthink (the opposite of ideology) must take over. Ideology First - of any kind - cannot stand. It's in the way of progress.
That is why the authors predict a coming extremely boring culture, Groupthink and a society that will DO everything and FEEL nothing.
The Group doesn't feel, it just does. We need some of that right now. I am tired of feeling one side is right or wrong. It doesn't lead anywhere. That's how it made sense to me, at least.
