Bringing this into the perspective of communities like HN or StackOverflow; think before posting, analyze postings before commenting - taking into consideration those whose word is likely to hold more weight -- refer to their rep possibly, don't be afraid to be different as this can land many into the trouble of 'herdism'. I like HN for a couple of reasons, but one of the most important is its model and community sort of promote what this article is referring to as 'swarm intelligence'; we all gain from each other's intelligence, yet we continue to advance on our own.
