Quote by Lewis Thomas

We're as clever as we think we are, but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.


We're as clever as we think we are, but we'll be a lot cleve

Summary

This quote suggests that while human beings are individually intelligent, their collective intelligence can be much greater. The quote implies that by utilizing technology to share information and collaborate, we have the ability to tap into the collective intelligence of a large number of people. This approach, already prevalent in scientific endeavors, can be extended to other fields as well. By pooling the knowledge, ideas, and perspectives of many individuals, we have the potential to become even more intelligent and find more effective solutions to the challenges we face.
