The Myth of “Crowd Intelligence”
Many people seem to believe that if you sample the opinions of millions of people, the nonsense will average out and leave only the valid ideas. This is the logic behind “radical democracy” and was the original motivation for the World Wide Web. Now look where we are.
The electorate of the United States had four years to learn what Donald J. Trump was all about, and they voted for him again. If you didn’t vote for him, did you vote against him or did you stay home? If you voted against him and figured that was enough, surprise! It was a fair election, and every single eligible voter is responsible for the outcome. This was what Americans wanted as a nation. History will never forget.
