Who's to say that the majority of the "hive mind" indeed hold correct or informed opinions based on knowledge rather than assumptions? What's the population of this hive mind? Are they all Americans? Are they all from the same demographic? Are they all young? Are they mixed? What are their education levels? How well do they know what they're talking about? Can they point out India on a map? So many questions. None answered. Perhaps the questions that this "technology" (better word is construct) were given were simply obvious projections not deterred by the hesitance that experts hold when dealing with matters. People tend to think their knowledge is absolute while experts in those fields understand what margins of error are and are not as likely to claim opinions as facts (unless they're super biased). Furthermore, attempting to compare their results to the "experts" is fallacious in itself. You can't compare averages. That doesn't work, especially when the standard deviations are also vastly different. My engineer brain does not comprehend this construct. It makes no sense. Opinions are still opinions and conclusions from said opinions can suffer from group-think fallacies. All data available to the construct is processed... I assume they mean the web and television plus any data hand fed via the computer engineers. Then said data is processed and percentages are processed. The accuracy of the conclusions is a percentage as well, getting some right some wrong. I can't 'make' you understand this explanation nor explain it any other way. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
