You can trust crowds if the crowds are made up of highly educated and enlightened people who are familiar with the topic that you are discussing, which most people are not.
- pbhjpbhj 16y ago>highly educated and enlightened people are not necessarily trustworthy. Those familiar with a topic can have entrenched views. Wisdom to me means the application of knowledge for favourable outcomes - a limited set of people will tend to produce outcomes in their own favour. When you apply some arbitrary barrier of intellect or intelligence or knowledge then you move away from democracy; I'm not a great advocate of democracy but this should be borne in mind.
