Perszyk: Human intelligence is fundamentally collective and driven by interconnectivity
“The big idea is that human intelligence is collective. Anthropologists say that we've got the collective brain. No one individual is capable of even surviving on their own. We depend upon the collective. The intelligence emerges from our interactions. It's fun…”
