Expertise is overrated, what makes us strong is diversity. This idea reflects this through and through. I guess in some realms, its an accurate description of what’s really going on.
Groups of diverse problem solvers can outperform groups of high-ability problem solvers
We introduce a general framework for modeling functionally diverse problem-solving agents. In this framework, problem-solving agents possess representations of problems and algorithms that they use to locate solutions. We use this framework to establish a result relevant to group composition. We fin... Read more
I heard about this in the video. It started a whole new load of speculation about statistics and prediction… “At a 1906 country fair in Plymouth, 800 people participated in a contest to estimate the weight of a slaughtered and dressed ox. Statistician Francis Galton observed that the median guess, 1207 pounds, was accurate within 1% of the true weight of 1198 pounds.”
Interesting. I guess the law of averages has been debunked plenty enough by now, things don’t even out at all, and you never know where you may end up.

Linking to the video mentioned in the idea. It’s by legend in the making: thoughty2.
