[MD] Collective intelligence

[Krimel]

Micah,

I guess I did not think my use of the term library would be taken quite so
literally. Information is collected in a library. Our common shared memories
are distributed in libraries, the internet, in video stores and record
shops, in photo albums and diaries, in the studio values and television
network archives.

Among the greatest crimes of the past century was that idea that this
collective memory could be owned and metered.

Krimel,

Libraries are collected memory or collected intelligence, not collective
memory or collective intelligence. They are two different concepts, one -
collected  memory/intelligence- is real, and one - collective
memory/intelligence - is not.
