Dear Ares: I was quoting Jed and UG. I guess it denotes the desire to reinforce the ego. Ego feels unsafe alone, so it seeks the safety provided by the herd. One person wants its beliefs to be accepted by a group, to conform to the common beliefs (or viceversa). Ego develops by refining its beliefs, for which it seeks reinforcement, posed as questions (like 'do you agree with me?', 'isn't it the way I believe?', 'isn't true I discovered something cool?', 'would you add yourself this new cool theory to your ego?'). The questions of the ego may take a very specific form, but I believe their essence to be as exemplified above.
