The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

Respect life, Revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.

Proverb

Lewis H. Lapham

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.

Chinese Proverb

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.

Ronald Reagan
