Quote by Robyn Hitchcock

People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups.

Summary

This quote suggests that as the number of people in a group increases, the overall intelligence of the group tends to decrease. It implies that the collective intelligence of a larger group may not be as high as expected, as individual intelligence seems to diminish. It reflects the idea that when a group becomes too large, communication and coordination challenges can undermine the effectiveness of problem-solving and decision-making processes, thus hindering the group's overall intelligence. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the significance of maintaining smaller, more focused groups to maximize intellectual capacity.

But Oh! The blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearless on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.http://www.indiana.edu/%7Eletrs/vwwp/craik/craik-poem1866.html
