A multidão inteligente

A multidão só é inteligente quando cada um dos que a compõem pode ser ele mesmo, e agir segundo suas próprias crenças e desejos, não sucumbindo em concordância completa com o grupo, mas ocupando/conquistando esse espaço dentro do grupo.

É quando Surowiecki (2005) retuwita Negri&Hardt (2005) acerca da importância da singularidade.

"Diversity and independence are important because the best collective decisions are the product of disagreement and contest, not consensus or compromise. An intelligent group, especially when confronted with cognition problems, does not ask its members to modify their positions in order to let the group reach a decision everyone can be happy with. Instead, it figures out how to use mechanisms - like market prices, or intelligent voting systems - to agreegate and produce collective judgments that represent not what any one person in the group thinks but rather, in some sense, what they all think. Paradoxically, the best way for a group to be smat is for each person in it to think and act as indenpendely as possible." ((SUROWIECKI, 2005, p. XIX-XX).
