We Are Smarter Than Me
The MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, Pearson Educational Publishing, and Pennsylvania University's SEI Center for Advanced Studies In Management at The Wharton School are collaborating on a project to write a business management book, wiki-style. Wanna help?

That would be... University of Pennsylvania -- just trying to prove the "We are smart" part

What is it people complain about most?
Which wiki will become the most vandalized?

A nice biology research program would be linking various portions of mouse brains, trying to get the mice to think in parallel, with the very long term goal of figuring out how with humans too.

Yep. Committees are smarter than lone visionaries. Every time.

ZenMasterThis : Yep. Committees are smarter than lone visionaries. Every time.

Your comment blew my snark-o-meter right off the chart, but the company I work for subscribes your statement with the same kind of passionate zeal that zombie feels for brains.

Which is to say, a lot.

We are smarter than me, but none of us is as dumb as all of us.
