Hi David As I've been saying to Arlo and Ham (and others) I think that collective knowledge is part and parcel of each level of the MoQ. What has been termed collective intelligence is probably better termed collective knowledge - more likely social knowledge. I'm in the process of getting some thoughts together on this and replying to Arlo's last post to me in order to toss around a few ideas. The relationship between information and knowledge is, probably, fundamental to how patterns of value are shared and create. Religion is interesting as it appears to be, in many senses, an extremely powerful social system based on malformed collective knowledge. I also think that there are a number of forms of collective knowledge that pre-date modern scientific forms - in fact modern scientific forms would never have emerged were it not for prior forms of collective knowledge.
