[MD] (MD] Collective intelligence

Compromise doesn't exist. Neither does "collective Intelligence".

Hypothetical Situation A:
1) Four neighbors each want a lawn mower for themselves to be used one
hour per weekend only for purposes of mowing the lawn.
2) Each neighbor has $100 in disposable income.
3) Lawn mowers cost $400 each.
4) Since no one has $400, no one buys a lawn mower.

Hypothetical Situation B:
1) Four neighbors each want a lawn mower for themselves to be used one
hour per weekend only for purposes of mowing the lawn.
2) Each neighbor has $100 in disposable income.
3) Lawn mowers cost $400 each.
4) Since they have a combined $400, they pool their money and buy a
lawn mower for all of them to use.  Each agrees to mow his lawn during
a different hour than the other neighbors.

This sure looks like a compromise to me.  Ignore the fact that the
numbers are probably bad estimates.

Cheers,
Steve
