The intelligence of a group is equal to half tyhat of the most ignorant member.
I say this because only the "dumbest" and most ignorant are usually willing to speak up and volunteer an idea when in a large mass, and then the snarky smart-asses start "adding" to whats wrong in stead of trying to improve on it.
But when I say "people are stupid", Im referring to large masses; mobs and crowds. The ability of individuals to be intelligent is
The reason I disagree so strongly with liberals and democrats (i know, usually one and the same) Is because they assume people are individually stupid, but in groups become "smarter" as those "more equal" (to use their terms) lead the way.
Look at an ice skating rink.
Imagine you're a government regulator and you've never seen a rink.I tell you I'm ginna flood that area with ice and then charge people money to strap sharp blades onto their feet and zip around on the ice. I will have few rules, no skill restrictions, nor age limits. Most any regulator would reject it in a New York Minute.There would be all kinds of demands for regulation; rules, safety measures, separation of ages and skills, required protection devices, etc etc etc.
However could people have possibly skated without a government to make all the rules and decisions for them? Yes, our brain-fried decrepit hippies, who went from hating the government to running (and even further corrupting) it, are the only ones snart enough to have ever figured out a smart and safe way for us to enjoy sliding on ice.
Leave people free to make their own choices and a skaters find their own path. Trust the average citizen to get by in his own life, and tell him to STFU about his neighbor's, and most our problems go away. I know its amazing and surprising, But those brilliant and educated men that wrote the Constitution and founded our Republic actually knew what they were doing.
