[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9500245, member: 7025282"] Look at the bell curve. There are people that are +3 standard deviations out… And some -3…but in aggregate we are adaptable and solve a lot of problems even ones we tend to create. The real issues are psychological ones..social psychology and other domains show how our reasoning get overwhelmed and tricked but we also can be mindful and prepare or better yet watch over one another. The deciding by reflex and under pressure and biases are the issue. We have only so much memory but come up with writing to document and communicate…we have an uncanny ability to overcome our limitations! The biggest issue now due to technology is when power is concentrated and snap decisions can have giant consequences. Hence a process of approval for military action, nukes or whatever. One idiot autocrat does not a stupid species make though [/QUOTE]
