'We all know less than we think we do, including how much we know about how much we know. There's no cure for this condition, but there is a treatment: this fascinating book. The Knowledge Illusion is filled with insights on how we should deal with our individual ignorance and collective wisdom'Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Stuff of Thought
Human reasoning is remarkably shallow - in fact, our thinking and justifications just scratch the surface of the true complexity of the issues we deal with. The ability to think may still be the greatest wonder, but the way that individuals think is less than ideal. Sloman and Fernbach show that our intelligence resides not in individual brains but in the collective mind.
A compelling case from two leading cognitive scientists that people are like bees and society is like a beehive: true intelligence lies not in our individual brains but in the collective mind
